If there’s a single word that comes to mind when reflecting on the One Hundred Years of Solitude TV adaptation, it’s “ambitious.” Adapting Gabriel García Márquez’s magnum opus is not for the faint of heart. Márquez himself thought it couldn’t—and probably shouldn’t—be done. His novel doesn’t just tell a story; it creates an entire world,…

It’s a metaphor as old as storytelling itself: man versus nature, man versus enemy, and man versus himself. Greyhound, adapted from C.S. Forester’s The Good Shepherd and brought to life by Tom Hanks, leans into this…
When Ridley Scott takes on a subject, he doesn’t tiptoe into the shallow end; he plunges headlong into the depths, unearthing every possible contradiction, ambition, and absurdity.
