Movie theaters are slowly reopening, but most of the new releases are headed to streaming services rather than the big screen. Whether you're staying at

Author Lev Grossman is not having a fun quarantine. Grossman loves his three kids, but what a handful theyve been for the last year — and what an impact theyve had on his writing schedule. "I havent had 20 minutes to myself since last February," he tells SYFY WIRE. "Its impossible for me to get more than 10 feet away from another human being." As if to demonstrate the problem, his 8-year-old son joined our phone conversation, looking for a little attention. When he was gone again, Grossman as...

PERFECT LITTLE MOMENTS Theres a simple beauty in Amazons 2021 movie The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. The plot sounds familiar — two teens wake up every morning to relive the same day repeatedly — and its characters poke a little too much self-aware fun at the fact its not the first movie to use the device. But while there are plenty of there-at-the-right-moment gimmicks from witnessing the same tiny accidents hundreds of times, the movies focus on the simple happy moments of life offers man...

Although Groundhog Day is the most notable example, the time loop story is its own genre by this point. There are time loop episodes of Agents of SHIELD, Star Trek, movies like Edge of Tomorrow, the recent (very fantastic) Palm Springs and a whole bunch more. The latest entry in the time loop genre is The Map of Tiny Perfect Things and while two time loopers falling in love is very similar to Palm Springs, it’s sort of a mash-up of Groundhog Day and the young people walk and talk philosophica...

Happiest Season and The Big Sick over and over (cc: me), 2021s slate of new releases may put you in the mood to branch out. This year, well get new installments of multiple hit Netflix franchises, plus a handful of musicals, cheesy holiday rom-coms, and even a film in which Blake Lively and Lin-Manuel Miranda play the younger versions of Diane Keaton and Richard Gere—which I can only imagine will be unbelievably delightful, if slightly bizarre. So, without any further ado, here are all the n...

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things: Kathryn Newton as both angel and catch of the day. From the look of things, Mark (Kyle Allen) is definitely a morning person. He impresses both his dad and younger sis by tending to every item on his breakfast menu with the skill and grace of a six-handed juggler. En route to school, he guides his bike in the direction of the car with a coffee cup perched atop the driver’s side window. He scoops! He sips! He scores with a perfectly-timed slam dunk into a turnin...

By MARK VIOLA The “Groundhog Day” trope, in which someone repeats the same day over and over again, is one of my favorites. There is just so much you can do with the concept, although “Groundhog Day,” the namesake 1993 comedy starring Bill Murray, is, and will likely always be, the best example of it. Recent examples I’ve seen using this trope include “Edge of Tomorrow,” “Before I Fall” and last year’s “Palm Springs,” which made it on my Top 10 list of films from last ye...

Film Review: “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things”: A Perfect Valentine’s Day Thing America loves its time-loop movies: “Groundhog Day,” “Edge of Tomorrow,” “Palm Springs,” to name a few, and even “Back to the Future” has time-loop elements. Arriving in time for St. Valentine’s Day, “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things” adds a quirky, fun, teen comedy-romance entry to the genre. Mark (Kyle Allen) and Margaret (Kathryn Newton) are teens stuck in a time loop, in “The Map of ...
