Channing Tatum Vows To Be Shirtless

After a woman suffers severe memory loss as a result of a horrific accident, her husband must make a desperate attempt to piece together their lives and rekindle their once passionate romance. A drama that reveals the obstacles that one couple must endure in order to rebuild memories and fall in love all over again, The Vow is sweet, sappy and strikingly similar to another popular love story: The Notebook anyone? Despite the obvious lack of originality, The Vow does provide its audience with an occasional laugh, a few tears, and, most importantly, a shirtless Channing Tatum.

Directed by: Michael Sucsy Starring: Rachel McAdams & Channing Tatum 144 min.

In doing so, For Good succeeds less as a crowd-pleaser and more as a film made for those already invested in the world of Wicked.

Vince Gilligan’s ‘Pluribus’ Is Impressive, if Exhaustingly Slow

Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus imagines a beautifully ordered world where loneliness, failure, and disagreement have been engineered away—and asks what that costs art, love, and autonomy. Starring Rhea Seehorn, it turns an alien apocalypse into a meditation on AI and authorship.
