TV: THE WHITE LOTUS 
From Mike White, The White Lotus is a sharp social satire following the exploits of various employees and guests at an exclusive Hawaiian resort over the span of one highly transformative week. As darker dynamics emerge with each passing day, the six-episode new season gradually reveals the complex truths of the seemingly picture-perfect travelers, cheerful hotel employees and idyllic locale itself. Season 2 is set in Sicily, Italy. Jennifer Coolidge returns in the role of Tanya for which she won an Emmy. She brings the laughs but the dark undertones remind us while laughing that grim times lie ahead. Enjoy The White Lotus, now streaming on HBO.

FILM: ARMAGEDDON TIME
Brought to us by writer/director James Gray, who based "Armageddon Time" on his own experiences, this is a movie by an adult bringing a deeper understanding to memories of the past. And like many other stories about 11 to 12-year-olds, from Dorothy in "A Wizard of Oz" to Harry Potter and Tom Sawyer, these last moments of childhood are opportunities to explore the ineffable tenderness of the time when the world seems filled with endless possibilities; when we are just beginning to discover how much of it is also filled with challenges, disappointment and loss. The emotional roller coaster ride is on the big screen now and well worth your time.
