Nine movies that will make you feel something
When was the last time you watched a film that truly made you feel something? The truth is, most of us treat watching films as a way of passing time, but actually, we rarely engage fully in a film to the point that it makes us happy, sad, angry, or scared.

Review: Heartstopper Season 2
When Heartstopper Season 1 premiered, I found myself less enthusiastic about it compared to most critics. While I recognized its profound importance for today's queer youth, I questioned its entertainment value for older viewers. The eight-episode debut season centered around the blossoming romance between Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor), but it seemed stretched thin, lacking significant plot development and engagement. My critique garnered backlash on social media, which dampened my overall interest in the show. However, approaching Season 2, I did so with skepticism, only to find that my main criticism had been admirably addressed by the creative team.
