THE REAL OF LOS ANGLES HISTORY BEHIND "PERRY MASON"
HBO’s prestige legal drama Perry Mason is, of course, a work of fiction based on the character Raymond Burr immortalized on the ’50s and ’60s TV show. However, the first season included nods to famous real-life Angelenos and incidents like radio evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson and the horrific kidnapping and murder of Marion Parker. The second season, which premiered on March 6, is no different. Michael Begler, who along with his writing partner, Jack Amiel, serves as the new showrunner for the series, broke down some of the historical influences for Vulture.

MOVIE REVIEW
Adam McKay, the man behind the success of “Anchorman” and “The Big Short,” has failed to deliver with his latest movie, “Don’t Look Up,” a hybrid of his comedic and dramatic instincts that falls short in being insightful about social media, technology, global warming, celebrity, and human existence. The movie is a disaster and McKay appears to be out of touch with what is clever or how to get his audience to care. Despite a casting director, Francine Maisler, who has packed the movie with big, expensive names, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Jennifer Lawrence, and Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi), the movie fails to take advantage of this star power.

The Enigma of D.B. Cooper: The Unsolved Mystery of the Skyjacker
On November 24, 1971, a man who identified himself as Dan Cooper, later known as D.B. Cooper, hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. Cooper claimed to have a bomb and demanded a ransom of $200,000 in cash and four parachutes. After the ransom was delivered and the passengers and some of the crew were released, Cooper ordered the remaining crew to take off and fly to Mexico City at a low altitude and with the rear staircase lowered. However, somewhere over the rugged terrain of southwestern Washington, Cooper jumped out of the plane with a parachute and the ransom money, and vanished into thin air. The case of D.B. Cooper has remained one of the most enduring and mysterious unsolved crimes in American history, inspiring countless theories, investigations, and cultural references.

‘Loving Pablo’: Film Review | Venice 2017
Loving Pablo is a story about the life of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar Gaviria, founder of the Medellin cartel, and his glamorous mistress Virginia Vallejo. The movie is directed by Fernando Leon de Aranoa, and features Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz as the larger-than-life couple. While the film has a glossy and action-packed feel, it leaves an empty feeling when it comes to an end. The film is based on Vallejo’s own novel/memoir Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar, and is almost entirely told from her point of view.

Don't Look Up - A Movie Review
Adam McKay's talent for mixing comedy and drama is evident in his previous works, such as "Anchorman" and "The Big Short." However, his latest film, "Don't Look Up," falls short of expectations, lacking insight into social media, technology, global warming, and human existence. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, and Jennifer Lawrence, among others. Despite this, the film fails to capitalize on the cast's talent, instead, opting for anti-provocative jokes about celebrity culture rather than addressing the impending threat of a comet hurtling towards Earth. The film's editing is complicit in short attention spans, intercutting between different framed pictures and hopping between scenes. The movie fails to say anything new about how misinformation became a political cause or the role technology plays in society. While there are some funny moments, the film's lack of urgency and character development leaves the audience wanting more.
