'Yellowjackets' Season 2 trailer unpacks the mystery of Lottie Matthews

entertainment

Showtime’s Yellowjackets checked all kinds of boxes when it premiered in late 2021: It was a survival drama with a sinister twist like Lost, but based around a group of high school girls — a great recipe for drama. The 1990s setting added the nostalgia factor, and the present-day flash-forwards gave the entire show some much-needed perspective (and gave us an all-timer Christina Ricci performance.)

'Missing' review: A worn-out thriller less exciting than a doomscroll

entertainment

Missing, set for release on January 20, is a stand-alone sequel to director Aneesh Chaganty’s riveting 2018 thriller Searching, two films emblematic of producer Timur Bekmambetov’s “Screenlife” vision. While Missing uses the same tricks of the trade that made Searching compulsively watchable, the cracks in the genre are beginning to show, with the claustrophobic nature of the screen-only format beginning to feel more exhausting than invigorating.

DNA evidence suggests groups of Asians migrated to Beringia, the land and maritime region between Russia and North America, around 20,000 years ago (maybe well before) and then gradually made their way to the Americas in waves.

science

The star (or stars) at the center of the nebula seem to blast powerful jets of energy out into space in random directions, creating chaos in the expanding gas that forms the Butterfly’s wings.
