Some Stephen King characters die easy. These Stephen King characters don't.
So there I was, just mindlessly tapping away on my daily mobile game addiction, and I was interrupted by a regularly occurring, in-game currency-earning ad. These are usually the quick-hit 30 to 60-second spots advertising the latest mobile game, Quibi show (RIP), or insurance company, but this one grabbed my attention ... in all the wrong ways. Kudos to the marketing team behind the ad for Slotomania, a top-grossing mobile slot game from Israel's Playtika.

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for Jennifer Kent’s follow-up to The Babadook, which hit theaters back in 2014. It’s tough to say her second directorial effort, The Nightingale, is worth the wait for Babadook fans because this new film is quite different and tackles some extremely challenging and often unpleasant subject matter, but perhaps that makes it even more remarkable as it’s a sure sign Kent is telling the story she wants her way with great skill and precision, despite possible pressure to deliver more of the same.
