Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil trailer landed this morning, and the first surprise is how little it resembles the Resident Evil movies you already have opinions about. No trench coats. No hero sliding across a floor firing two guns at once. The camera stays low and close on Austin Abrams, playing a medical courier named Bryan, while a routine shift comes apart around him somewhere near the ninety second mark. Cregger made Barbarian and Weapons, which means the man behind this is a filmmaker who enjoys watching ordinary people discover that a building has plans for them. He is not picking…

There was a stretch in the early 2000s when a thriller could be reduced to a single word said in a lowered voice. You did not recommend the movie. You recommended the ending. Identity came out of that moment, and for a lot of people it never got out from under it. The film turned into a delivery system for its own last ten minutes, which is a strange fate for something built this carefully. So the question I brought to Arrow Video’s 4K UHD is simple. With the surprise spent, is there a real movie down there, or a…

In my way of defining emotional recovery, I emphasize three components: trusting yourself, believing in yourself, and wanting to be you. Of course, these three components can be broken down into many more components. In the final phase of emotional recovery, wanting to be you again, I think that you must first establish pride in who you are, before, during, and after your acute illness. I know for me, pride was the last emotion I could comprehend regaining after my psychotic breaks, but it was pride that was critical to developing my current state of well-being and the progress I…

Strategic thinking is underrated. I took an economics class when I was a freshman in college. On the first day of class my professor said, “You’ll do well in this course if you think strategically and understand that every action has a consequence, every choice has a cost, and everything is connected.” That lesson has stayed with me over the years — not just in economics, but in leadership. The best leaders think the same way. They understand that employee mental health is not an isolated issue tucked away in Human Resources. It is connected to decision-making, innovation, engagement, retention,…

When we examine workplace bullying in an extreme form, namely the punitive treatment of LGBT military personnel over the decades, targets of less systemic workplace abuse can gain valuable insights. In this post, the insights in the military examples are juxtaposed with four non-military, bullying workplaces described in The Gaslit Brain, in order to help targeted employees to identify when gaslighting is being used. Instead of the more typical pathologizing of LGBT military personnel, Dr. Heliana Ramirez and Dr. Paul Sterzing, social work experts and researchers, focus on the “strength, resilience, and resistance” demonstrated by targeted service members and veterans.…
