The cowboy western expected to help Netflix bag some Oscars: Set in 1925 Montana, on the ranch of the bachelor Burbank brothers, The Power of the Dog is both mysterious and menacing, writes The Guardian. The two brothers, Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George (Jesse Plemons), get along pretty well until George decides to marry widow Rose Gordon (a finely wrought Kirsten Dunst). Phil is a menacing bully to both Rose and her son Peter, causing tension within the house and unveiling a psychodrama aspect to the film. The constant taunting drives Rose to depression and it is only then that Phil warms up to Peter and takes on a mentor-like role in the boy’s life that is left somewhat ambiguous in its motives. The film is expected to get a nod for the fantastic directing by Jane Campion who creates the movie with “artistry and command.”

Seafood lovers need to try out Catch 5: Egyptians can appreciate the importance of baladi bread when it comes to a seafood meal and New Cairo’s Catch 5 delivers on that front, with all their sandwiches coming in the soft homemade bread. If you’re expecting your grandmother’s shrimp seasoning, you’ll be sadly mistaken as the new eatery adds a twist to its seafood, blending Egyptian and Asian spices. Their menu includes fried shrimp, fish, and calamari with ginger and wasabi, black radish, sweet togarashi, and charred carrots. There’s also the option of getting their mixed fried box which gets you a bit of everything — we recommend trying out some of their sauces with this such as their wasabi green tahini or their togarashi baba ghannoug.
