NORMAL Review
Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk) comes to Normal, Minnesota to be the interim sheriff, shortly after the town's previous sheriff died. After learning more about the town and meeting the people in it, including Mayor Kibner (Henry Wrinkler), Ulysses starts asking a lot of questions, suspicious of the story about how the sheriff died.

THE CHRISTOPHERS Review
Departing from his most recent entries of a spy thriller and a ghost story, director Steven Soderbergh brings to life the world of two very different artists in his new film, The Christophers.

It's not alone; it was simultaneously at the cinema with Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die , and I never made it out those few weeks to see that, either. My loss, I suppose, but at least it did not take long for the former flick to hit Hulu for streaming purposes. (As of this writing, the latter picture is only available as a rental, and it's still $20 just

THE RIP Review
Within the Miami-Dade County police department is a specialized unit known as the TNT (Tactical Narcotics Team). Before we even get introduced to the members of the TNT, we see the unit lead, Captain Jackie Velez (Line Esco) get murdered in cold blood. It just so happens that there are rumors the TNT is housing dirty cops who, when busting a drug house, will wind up robbing the house and reporting far less cash than what was actually on-site. So it is only natural that Intern
