Movie Recaps

Hope Gap (2019)

A quiet yet emotionally piercing drama about a long-married couple whose relationship collapses without warning. When Edward abruptly leaves his wife Grace, their adult son Jamie is caught in the painful space between them. As buried resentments surface and memories are reexamined, the film explores love, loss, pride, and the emotional cost of separation. An intimate look at how relationships fracture — and how people struggle to redefine themselves afterward.

Down Periscope is a military comedy about an unconventional U.S. Navy lieutenant assigned to command an aging diesel submarine and a misfit crew. Tasked with competing in high-stakes war games against elite nuclear subs, he relies on creativity, humor, and teamwork rather than strict protocol. The film delivers lighthearted satire on military life, leadership, and underdogs proving their worth.
