Divergent is a compelling dystopian film series set in a post-apocalyptic Chicago where society is divided into five virtue-based factions. The narrative centers around Beatrice, ‘Tris,’ Prior (Shailene Woodley), a young woman who defies the norm as a ‘Divergent’ – unfit for any faction.

Alongside Four (Theo James), her instructor and fellow Divergent, Tris tackles a dangerous conspiracy that not only threatens their lives but also the entire societal structure. Originally adapted from Veronica Roth’s novels, the series made it to the screen with two successful films. For the finale, however, fans will need to turn to the books, as the third installment never made its cinematic debut.

A 2018 rom-com, Crazy Rich Asians reveals the extravagant lives of Singapore’s ultra-wealthy. Directed by Jon M. Chu and based on Kevin Kwan’s novel, the film tracks Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), an economics professor who discovers her boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), comes from one of Asia’s richest families.

The film navigates through cultural clashes and societal expectations, giving an impactful look at Asian and Asian-American identities. Crazy Rich Asians was also celebrated for its all-Asian cast, marking a major advance in Hollywood’s authentic representation.

Glen Powell shines as Gary Johnson, a college professor moonlighting as a hitman for the local police. He finds himself in a complex romance with Madison “Maddy” Masters, played by Adria Arjona, who wants to hire a hit man to kill her husband.

The film, praised for its seamless blend of comedy, romance, thriller elements, and philosophical perspectives, showcases Powell and Arjona’s electric chemistry while exploring deeper, darker parts of human truths.

The fifth season of David Letterman’s talk show is back, and this time, he features guests like Miley Cyrus and NBA star Charles Barkley. Miley dishes on her leap from the beloved “Hannah Montana” to global pop sensation, revealing behind-the-scenes gems, while Charles swaps the basketball for golf tips, showing Letterman how to “Open the face up!” with his usual charm.

Letterman strives away from traditional celebrity interviews, making these discussions much more intimate and genuine. He deftly peels back layers of his guests, delivering interviews that are anything but ordinary and hosting a good dose of his trademark wit.

Directed by Lagueria Davis, Black Barbie: A Documentary delves into the historic and profound impact of Mattel’s first Black Barbie doll, introduced in 1980.

Anchored by Davis’s personal connection—her aunt Beulah Mae Mitchell, a longtime Mattel employee—the film explores the pre-1980 absence of representation for Black girls and the subsequent cultural shift.

Featuring interviews with figures like designer Kitty Black Perkins and actress Gabourey Sidibe, the documentary examines the doll’s true influence. It recently premiered at SXSW 2023, and got praise for its depth and accessibility in tackling complex themes of representation and identity.
