March 2024. Stop me if you've heard this one before: a high-end, made-for-streaming sci-fi psychological thriller miniseries (check) about a troubled female astronaut from a Western European country (check) who returns to Earth following disturbing events aboard the International Space Station (check) that result in her sanity being questioned (check) — no thanks to her drippy, condescending husband (check), whose reflexive gaslighting and willful obtuseness make things materially worse for everyone (check) — and causes a serious crisis for her precocious, troubled preadolescent daughter (check) that said drippy husband doesn't know how to deal with constructively (check) even in the face of an ongoing threat (check and double-check!).
Every part of the above description applies equally to the four-part DAS SIGNAL, starring Peri Baumeister (who's okay) as astronaut Paula Groth, Florian David Fitz (who's dreadful) as drippy husband Sven, and Yuna Bennett (who's adorable) as troubled daughter Charlie, and the eight-part CONSTELLATION, starring Noomi Rapace (who's okay) as astronaut Johanna Ericsson, James D'Arcy (who's dreadful) as drippy husband Magnus, and Rosie Coleman (who's outstanding) as troubled daughter Alice; it's often said there are no truly original ideas, but I think you'll agree that this is a peculiar degree of coincidence for two apparently unrelated streaming projects running more or less concurrently, even if their actual plots diverge quite a bit.
Of the two, DAS SIGNAL is definitely the inferior effort, in large part because it very unwisely chooses to focus not on the troubled astronaut (who dies in a suspicious plane crash in the first episode), but rather on the drippy husband (whose actor (Fitz) cowrote the script); Paula's story, which is related to mysterious work she was doing for a Sikh billionaire (Sheeba Chaddha), is told in flashback, but Sven is, regrettably, the main character. Not only is he an inappropriate protagonist whose Horror Movie Husband intransigence constantly works against rather than toward a solution to the mystery, his unmerited condescension toward his late wife (even after all has been revealed) is emblematic of the story's deep-seated disdain for women in general and in particular for Paula, who's treated with such uncomfortable, obviously gendered contempt throughout that it eventually renders big segments of the plot completely nonsensical. Incoherent character motivations and an exhausting series of plot reversals in the final episode suck any remaining life out of the premise, and the infuriating bait-and-switch ending then attempts to trick its way out of delivering the emotional payoffs the story has repeatedly promised. I walked away mad.
For a while, CONSTELLATION seems like a big improvement: Drippy husband Magnus is even worse than drippy husband Sven, but the focus stays primarily on Jo and Alice (whose bleak thousand-yard stare becomes increasingly understandable as the story unfolds), and Jonathan Banks is good as former astronaut turned flight director Henry Caldera, who, like Jo and Alice, begins to sense that something is very wrong. The first six episodes take the time to establish a mounting sense of dread, with some nice eerie moments (kind of Richard Kelly Lite), and while viewers will likely grasp what's going on long before the characters do, there are a number of unexpected twists to keep things interesting.
The wheels start to come off in Episode 7, which finally confirms what the audience has already surmised about what's happening, but sacrifices too much plot logic for the sake of its narrative contrivances. It would probably still have been salvageable at that point, but the final episode slams the brakes on the narrative momentum, deliberately leaves all of the major story threads frustratingly unresolved, and then resorts to an incredibly bizarre EC Comics shock ending (which creator Peter Harness admits was a last-minute whim) that completely torches what's left of the story's credibility without altering the sense of downbeat anticlimax. Harness also contrives an unconvincing romantic reconciliation between Jo and Magnus, who has somehow managed to get her pregnant; I'd spent the last few episodes hoping he would finally suffer some appropriate narrative comeuppance (e.g., falling through the ice or being pushed down the stairs) for his stubborn refusal to give his wife or daughter the benefit of the doubt, but Harness apparently assumed that the audience would view Magnus far more generously than I did. It adds insult to injury in what's already a deeply unsatisfying ending.
CONTAINS LESBIANS? Nein! Not a single one in either series, WTF? VERDICT: Two houses, alike in misogyny (and willful anticlimax) — DAS SIGNAL never rises above "mediocre" and has no real redeeming factors other than slick production values and the adorable Yuna Bennett; CONSTELLATION could easily have been a perfectly decent moderately creepy thriller, but its catastrophically terrible ending makes it impossible to recommend except perhaps as a cautionary tale for aspiring writers. Both are complete disasters, and among the biggest disappointments of the season.

BREAKING: Karan Johar’s upcoming show Showtime is about nepotism in Bollywood
The word ‘nepotism’ was unknown to most people in the country. But after Kangana Ranaut dropped it on Season 5 of Koffee With Karan in February 2017 and the way she and producer-director Karan Johar got into a spat, the term became widely known to one and all. Hence, it’ll be interesting to know that Karan Johar’s upcoming show on Disney+ Hotstar, Showtime, is based on nepotism in Bollywood. This significant information was shared by Gaurav Banerjee, Head - Content, Disney+ Hotstar & HSM Entertainment Network, Disney Star, today at the trailer launch of Kajol’s upcoming web series, The Trial. Besides Gaurav Banerjee and Kajol, the event was attended by Suparn Verma, Sheeba Chaddha, Jisshu Sengupta, Kubbra Sait, Gaurav Pandey, Aamir Ali, Aseem Hattangadi and Deepak Dhar (Founder & CEO, Banijay Asia).
Gaurav Banerjee continued, “We have got a lot that’s coming up that is incredibly exciting. Firstly, there’s the conclusion of The Night Manager. Then Kajol’s bestie Karan Johar is going to come back with a new season of Koffee With Karan. He’ll be shooting for it soon. He’s making another interesting show for us, Showtime, which is about nepotism in Bollywood. He knows something about it, I guess (laughs)!”

1. Amsterdam
The 2022 period comedy-thriller movie Amsterdam was written, produced, and directed by David O. Russell.
The international cast, which includes Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldana, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Timothy Olyphant, Andrea Riseborough, Taylor Swift, and others, is led by Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington.
The plot centers on three friends—a doctor, a nurse, and a lawyer—who are implicated in the enigmatic death of a retired U.S. general and get caught up in the Business Plot, a 1933 political conspiracy in the United States.

2. Halloween Ends
The 2022 American slasher movie Halloween Ends was written by Chris Bernier, Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and David Gordon Green.
It is the conclusion of the trilogy of follow-up movies that started with the 2018 film and is the sequel to Halloween Kills (2021), the thirteenth entry in the Halloween franchise.
This trilogy's concluding film features a terrifying end to the Michael Myers and Laurie Strode saga.
The final installment of David Gordon Green's Halloween sequel trilogy, in which Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode battles Michael Myers for the last time—presumably—pulls into second place, not far behind Black Adam.
Halloween Ends had its world premiere on October 11, 2022 at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles before Universal Pictures distributed it in theaters nationwide on October 14, 2022.

3. Eternal Spring
In 2022, Jason Loftus' Canadian documentary, titled Eternal Spring (Chinese :), will be released. The movie focuses on Changchun's broadcast television stations being taken over by Falun Gong in 2002 and China's ongoing persecution of ethnic and religious minorities. It is based on animation by Chinese artist Daxiong.
In March 2002, followers of the banned spiritual organization Falun Gong took control of a state TV station in China. Their intention was to refute the government's account of their method.
Following this, police raids take place all around Changchun City, forcing Falun Gong practitioner and comic book illustrator Daxiong to leave.
On March 15, 2022, the movie had its world premiere at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival. After then, it was shown at the 2022 Hot Docs.
