DreamQuil is an offbeat sci-fi tale about what our lives might be like in a future when we live almost entirely in virtual reality. The film floats in the ether somewhere between genres. It is not quite a cautionary tale, and not quite a satire of cautionary tales. It’s not quite sci-fi, and not quite a satire of sci-fi. It is, and it isn’t, a 1950s-style story about a housewife who wants more from life, but doesn’t want to lose her family in the process. Its reality is so highly stylized that it isn’t always possible to distinguish it from its scenes of virtual reality. (And I think that’s the point.)
It is rated just 5.3 at IMDb, but probably deserves better. I won’t argue that it is a masterpiece, but I watched it all the way through without reaching for the FF button, and any film interesting enough to hold my attention, even when its mysteries are flawed and its solutions ultimately disappointing, deserves better than a 5.3 in my book.
A woman embarks on a virtual wellness retreat in order to get her life back on track – but with nightmarish consequences.
Banks is topless in this scene, in theory, but I don’t think you can see any nudity except some guys’s hairy ass.

There is no consensus this week about the top team. Sagarin says it’s Alabama after they utterly demolished #16 Mississippi State; the AP scribes say Texas; ESPN’s SP+ system says Georgia. Alabama plays Georgia next week. If either of those teams dominates the other, they might end up in the #1 spot on all three systems.
The Florida Gators again provided the most interesting story of the week. In the past two weeks they were the team that jumped the most in the AP rankings, soaring from nowhere to #8 in the nation, thanks mostly to the drubbing they administered to #4 (at the time) Ole Miss. This week it seemed that their ascent had just been the initial climb of a roller coaster, as they became the ranked team with the largest drop, after being shellacked by Missouri 45-17. They showed some critical vulnerability on the defensive side of the ball, as they allowed Missouri to compile 560 yards from scrimmage. Things are not going to be easy for the Gators this year, as they drew a tough schedule. Later this month, they will have to play Texas and Georgia on successive weeks.
The AP ranking that astounds me is BYU. They were rated #10 in the AP poll last week, and did everything possible against TCU to demonstrate that they were NOT a top ten team. Their QB passed for 62 yards on 11-for-24. They accumulated only 216 total yards against a mediocre team (outside of Sagarin’s top 50). So what did the voters do? Promoted them to #8! Well, in two weeks they will play Notre Dame, so we’ll learn whether they are for real.
Shout-out of the week: Braden Atkinson, QB for Oregon State, was 31-for-34 for 427 yards and 5 TDS. He also leads all FBS college QBs in passing yardage for the season.

Gambling City, also released as The Cheaters, is a 1975 Italian poliziottesco heist film directed by Sergio Martino. The Italian title is La città gioca d’azzardo.
This was one of several European heist films produced in response to the popular success of American films in the genre like The Sting (1973). Gambling City features many of the genre’s standard conventions, including a Byronic hero who acts as a social bandit by practicing confidence tricks, the hero’s forbidden love with a socially repressed damsel in distress (who may or may not exhibit facets of the femme fatale) and a morally corrupt dandy as villain and the hero’s foil.

Drama from Spain
Iván, a young trans man working in a greenhouse in southern Spain, shoulders the burden of supporting his family through long, grueling shifts. His routine is disrupted by the arrival of Hadoum (Herminia Loh Moreno), a migrant worker of Moroccan descent who drifts from job to job in her battered van. Though they could not be more different, an undeniable chemistry sparks between them. As their relationship deepens, Iván is promoted and becomes Hadoum’s supervisor, throwing their attraction into a precarious and ethically charged path. Set against the working-class landscape of Almería, the film reveals the contradictions of inequality shaped by identity, labor, and social prejudice. Iván and Hadoum must navigate external expectations while confronting their own fears and desires. Against this backdrop, a tender, Romeo-and-Juliet–like romance unfolds, where love dares to bridge the divides that society has set between them.
Herminia Loh Moreno is also a singer who performs as “Restinga.”
