This What Keeps You Alive review contains spoilers. At first, it might appear Colin Minihan’s cat-and-mouse-chace movie What Keeps You Alive is serving up just another lesbian psychopath through the lens of a man, but Hannah Emily Anderson owns her psychoses. Admittedly, this reviewer is on record for having an affinity for villains and anti-heroes, but Jackie lays it out straight. She jokes about being a psychopath. She beams her narcissistic stare, sometimes directly into the camera, while remaining a bit offside, begging the audience to hate her....

Sony typically reveals its PS Plus selection for the upcoming month on the final Wednesday prior to it, with few exceptions such as during the holidays. However, the final Wednesday of March came and went without a solid word from the gaming giant, leaving many to wonder when the official PS Plus April 2020 announcement will actually take place. The most suspicious part of this missing reveal is that it just followed a leak....

Fall damage makes logical sense. After all, it’s possible to suffer an intense sprain or broken bone from something as simple as tripping on the sidewalk. Gravity can be one of reality’s greatest villains. So when a game is aiming to be as realistic and authentic as possible, having severe, painful consequences for a high fall is a perfectly reasonable design choice. Here’s the thing though: reality is stupid. While it’s certainly true to life that a mistimed fall will lead to injury and perhaps death, that doesn’t mean it’s fun....

In the sequel, however, we close on the sight of the two oldest children of the Abbott family—deaf and resourceful Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and her dopey younger brother Marcus (Noah Jupe)—finding their courage to step up to protect their mom (Emily Blunt), their new baby sibling, and Emmett (Cillian Murphy), an initially fearful neighbor who gradually regains his own confidence....
