The storyline is simple. The Monkey Brothers get the chance to cast a commercial for Salsa Gusto, a tortilla chip dip, which will be directed by the terminally hip, video-game junky Elan (played by Marc Chiat). This is a coup for the up-and-coming Monkey Brothers, who have scored this casting job over their rivals, the Donkey Dudes. The Monkey Brothers have a rather unusual method of casting commercials (which I won’t give away here), and the film follows their travails to cast the commercial and please everyone with their “hip, edgy, sexy, cool” choices....

The rituals and routines that define our existence can become almost too much to bear, as we ramble on from one day to the next. What’s the point of it all, we ask ourselves, struggling to make sense of life, the world, and everything. Before directing Manic, the sober new film about life in a juvenile mental hospital, Jordan Melamed wrestled with this existentialist conflict....

Where Christopher Purnell’s Killing Stacy is most successful is in the dry way it handles the absurdity of Claire and the inanimate Stacy as a loving couple. It’s not played as wacky or weird; Stacy seems odd only to Sarah, and it’s hard to tell whether she’s upset because Stacy is a blow-up doll, or that she’s Sarah’s replacement. The truth is a bit of both, I’d think. Where the film stumbles is that it doesn’t quite go far enough with the weirdness of its central concept to justify even lasting as short as it does....

The picture opens starkly on a bleak, lonely mountain roadway during winter. Standing in this landscape, staring at an overturned vehicle motionless, Nathan (Hugo Dillion) contemplates that he has had an accident and is lucky. Daniel (Arben Bajraktara) appears, and the two engage in startling dialogue that reveals that both are, in fact, dead people. Daniel has come to terms with it more, as he will miss his family. Nathan is upset at the fact that he is still young and doesn’t believe it until he sees his own corpse in the car wreck....

Princess Halle (Emma Duchesneau) is not keen that her father, King Victor (Byron Herlong), is about to remarry, as her mom has passed away. The queen-to-be, Perscilla (Rachel Stacy), clearly does not care for the independent-minded princess, nor the numerous reminders of the late queen throughout the castle. On the day of the wedding, Halle keeps herself distracted by visiting Aunt Maggie (Sejal Mehta) and brushing up on her archery....

The film opens with an intense diatribe from conservative television news celebrity Sammi Gellar (Madeline Brewer) on her popular show. Think of a younger, prettier version of Tucker Carlson, and you’ll get the idea (let’s not give Fox any ideas for a replacement, though). She is adamant that true Americans must “prune” the rot taking hold of the nation. Her words unintentionally inspire a follower to commit a mass shooting....

So he’s referred to Nora (Candice Renee), who runs a group therapy for people with pure obsessive-compulsive disorder. Were it just the group therapy sessions, Pure O would have been intriguing....

Woo-jin (Seo Hyun-woo) does not buy into any of that, though. However, his wife, Hae-mi (Sim Eun-woo), grew up with a very superstitious-believing mom and holds these ideas close. So Woo-jin tries his best to keep them as well, as they just had little I-su. However, he learns that his ex died and decides to attend the funeral. It goes without saying that Woo-jin did not tell Hae-mi about his decision....

This can be hard to see as they have become so closely aligned that you might not be sure of who has influenced whom in any given situation. However, you can get a closer picture of what has occurred if you take time to step back and look at these important areas. #1 Advanced narrative and world-building Most online games like The Last of Us, or pretty much any RPG, have a deep and complex storyline and have created an alternative reality in some depth....
