'Your Place or Mine'- Movie Review
The romantic comedy film "Your Place or Mine" was released in 2003, around the same time as other forgettable rom-coms like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "The Holiday," and "Something's Gotta Give." Despite being directed by the seasoned rom-com writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who also wrote the critically acclaimed "The Devil Wears Prada," "Your Place or Mine" falls short in terms of sharp dialogue and well-developed characters. It settles for being a pleasant, mindless watch that may be perfect for a lazy Saturday Netflix binge.

'Minions The Rise Of Gru'- Movie Review
“Minions: The Rise of Gru” is a new addition to the Despicable Me Universe and takes place in 1976. It has all the elements to cater to the less mature aspects of our sensibilities, with afros and ‘70’s era fashions, badass women in action, awful puns and wordplay, and disco music. The minions, those yellow, pill-shaped purveyors of trouble who are hopelessly devoted to Gru (Steve Carell), are back to support the “eleven and three-quarters” years old version of Gru.

'Freeridge'- Review
When reading the logline of Freeridge, it may seem like it would fit in with Netflix’s supernatural teen shows, like Stranger Things or Wednesday. The show revolves around a curse that plagues four 15-year-olds who believe it was caused by a mysterious old box, and their desperate attempts to reverse its effects. However, the supernatural aspect of the show is not the main focus. Instead, it serves as a backdrop for the more relatable themes of uncertainty about the future, the complexities of young love, and the responsibilities of family.

'We Have a Ghost'- Movie Review
Christopher Landon is known for his unique horror films that stand out from the typical cynicism of the genre. He sidesteps the trend of “elevated horror” by infusing his films with an infectious sense of joy, exemplified in movies like “Happy Death Day,” "Happy Death Day 2U," and “Freaky.” Regardless of one's opinion on their execution or overall quality, there's no denying that Landon has a blast while making them. His latest offering, “We Have a Ghost,” shines when Landon is allowed to let loose and be playful, eliciting smiles from the viewers. However, while his directing is on point, the writing falls short, resulting in a movie that drags on for too long with multiple endings and recurring themes that fail to build upon the film's promising ideas. Overall, it's a decent distraction on Netflix, but one can only hope for Landon to create a third installment of “Happy Death Day” before revisiting this world.

'A Radiant Girl'- Movie Review
In his poem "Musee des Beaux Arts," W.H. Auden utilized a Brueghel painting depicting Icarus' fall from the sky to convey an important lesson about tragedy. He notes that "it takes place/While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along," emphasizing how the biggest, most catastrophic events often go unnoticed by those living their daily lives. Charlotte Wells' impressive directorial debut, "Aftersun," and now "A Radiant Girl," also embrace this idea by focusing on the small, yet crucial moments that are often overlooked in the grand scheme of things.

'Luther: The Fallen Sun'- Movie Review
The British actor Idris Elba, who recently ruled out playing 007, reprises his role as Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in "Luther: The Fallen Sun," a continuation of the BBC crime drama. The feature-length movie, which is currently showing in cinemas and will be available for streaming on Netflix from March 10, allows Elba to redirect the online frenzy of his fan-casting for James Bond to his established role as Luther.

The Sinister Smile
The Sinister Smile As the sun set over the small town of Millfield, the residents began to retreat indoors for the night. The streets emptied, and the only sounds that could be heard were the chirping of crickets and the rustling of leaves in the wind. But within the walls of one particular home, a young couple, Karen and David, were about to experience a horror beyond their wildest nightmares.

The Ghosts of Willow House
The Ghosts of Willow House As soon as the sun set, darkness engulfed Willow House. It stood atop a hill, towering over the village below, casting a long shadow over the surrounding forest.
