The latest AI-themed horror movie, titled “Companion,” is receiving widespread acclaim in theaters. This film is a debut effort from director Drew Hancock, who teamed up with Zach Cregger, the director of “Barbarian” (now serving as producer), to create a distinctive genre piece that’s not just smart and amusing but also conversation-worthy. However, it’s been confirmed by Hancock that “Companion” was initially quite different. In its early stages, it seemed like every other AI horror movie. Thankfully, Hancock chose to revise his script.

With so many tales available, it’s logical that “Invincible” was an attractive choice when considering a television adaptation. Despite the notion that the superhero genre has run its course, there remain narratives within it that are compelling and worthy of being shared or re-shared. “Invincible” premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2021, and the initial eight episodes garnered significant praise from critics – leaving viewers eager for more, even if it might not be suitable viewing for the whole family.

For the seventh iteration of this biennial event, curators Essence Harden and Paulina Pobocha assembled a collective of artists from different generations who work in diverse mediums. Highlights among the showcased pieces are an exhibition by renowned conceptual artist John Knight, architectural investigations led by Jerald Cooper, founder of Hood Century Modern, a dance piece by Will Rawls, and a theatrical performance by Leila Weinraub and avant-garde team New Theater Hollywood, comprising Max Pitegoff and Calla Henkel.

Our journey to the resort led us along the Ayung River, meandering through vibrant foliage and open cliffs, until the calm currents effortlessly guided our inflatable boat towards the resort’s tranquil shores. The Four Seasons Sayan was the first hotel globally to provide a river raft arrival experience, and during our latest stay, it marked the beginning of another memorable “first,” as the property showcased an expansion of its Sacred River Spa.
