I’m Thinking of Ending Things — another psychological horror from Charlie Kauffman. On the surface, this is just a simple story of a girl who meets her boyfriend’s parents. But Kauffman’s movies don’t just thrive on the surface: You have to be an active part of the film, gather clues inside our characters’ fractured minds and dig up what’s really happening. Your eureka moment will most definitely be a devastating one. The movie follows Jake and his unnamed girlfriend — who has many names throughout the movie (clue #1) — and teeters between what’s real and what’s not with a creepy narration that sets an overall mood of impending doom. This is a film about the horrors of life, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

???? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Indulge in seafood: Starting today, Fairmont Nile City is relaunching its Thursday’s seafood festival — formerly known as Napa Grill Restaurant — to be within L’Uliveto. L’Uliveto is a top-notch Italian eatery, while Napa Grill offers a very nice open seafood buffet. It will be interesting to see how authentic Italian and seafood mash up. Although they will have the same setup, we’re expecting to see something nice happen at their pasta station and pizzeria. Price is constant at EGP 475++ per person.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

From the author of Nine Perfect Strangers and Big Little Lies, Liane Moriarty dissects a dysfunctional family in Apple Never Falls, where the mother Joy goes missing and her husband Stan is the prime suspect. With tennis being a main theme — Stan used to manage a tennis academy as a coach and Joy is his partner on the court — who knew there were so many tennis metaphors that could be crammed into one book? Their four children were tennis players too, but as their father puts it, none of them had what it took to be tennis stars. As the children begin to suspect their father, it quickly becomes clear that everyone in the family has secrets to hide.
