 It’s curious that a product of civil protest is filled with harmless music by brilliant but anything but provocative artists.

 It’s normal, though, that downstream of such a resonant initiative nothing changes. The nuclear power plants remain.

The No Nukes album captures a historic 1979 anti-nuclear protest concert organized by prominent singer-songwriters. Featuring top acts like Bruce Springsteen, Doobie Brothers, and Tom Petty, it offers solid pop rock performances with a socially conscious message. Despite the strong musical lineup and activism, the album reflects the limited political impact of such events. Musically significant but ultimately a product of its moderate social-democratic context. Listen to the legendary No Nukes album and experience the iconic artists united for a cause that still resonates today.

 Dark Nuns is really devoid of ideas, and the few that are there are poorly exploited.

 Dark Nuns is a horror that can only scare at the beginning, when you expect some jumpscare that will never come.

Dark Nuns, screened at the Far East Film Festival, disappoints with a predictable plot and poor execution. Despite its fusion of Catholicism and shamanism, the film lacks originality and scares. The lengthy exorcism scene fails to engage, and the film does not live up to expectations set by the festival. Discover why Dark Nuns fell short at the Far East Film Festival—read the full review before you watch!
