The Social Reckoning: Movie Review
If you haven't seen The Social Network , it's genuinely hard to put into words just how incredible a movie it is. It's one of the defining films of the 2010s, and even now, more than a decade after its release, it hasn't lost any of what made it so great in the first place. If anything, it's a film that seems to get better with time. It tells the story of how Mark Zuckerberg became the youngest billionaire in history through the creation of Facebook, as well as the business partners who eventually took him to court over it.

Ginny Weasley Got the Ending, Not the Story
Book Six, Gryffindor common room. Harry sees Ginny kissing Dean. Harry had never noticed her before. Rowling writes through Harry's eyes: Ginny's lips against Dean's, something in Harry's chest bursting. The action works. It also shows the problem. Harry falls for Ginny when he finally starts looking at her. The reader has been looking since Book Two and still does not know when she became this person.

Villainess Review: Serena Collyer (Elsbeth)
I just want to say this: thank God for Elsbeth ! Here's why I say that. A line that has stayed with me for years was uttered in an episode of Family Guy . The Griffins were watching Law & Order , and it was Lois who said that the biggest guest star the episode is usually the killer. That is so very true! In nearly every crime drama, the biggest guest star's usually the culprit. It's doubled down in howcatchem shows like Columbo and Poker Face , both of whom have featured high-level celebs playing killers.

Other Mommy: Movie Review
'Tis the season to be spooked...but not whilst watching Other Mommy . We’ve all seen the trailer for this movie, which took the internet by storm when it first dropped. It was packed with jump scares, creepy imagery, and the promise of a genuinely terrifying and unsettling cinema experience. With the film hitting theatres just a few weeks before Halloween, it felt like the perfect opportunity to get a few friends together and spend a Sunday afternoon watching what looked to be a seriously scary movie.

Verity: Movie Review
Colleen Hoover’s psychological thriller Verity was originally released independently in 2018, but was later picked up by a major publishing company and re-released in 2021 following a massive spike in popularity. Unlike her previous books, most of which are either straight romances or dramatic romances, Verity marked a new chapter in Colleen Hoover’s career. The novel not only gained her positive critical acclaim, but also introduced her to a new wave of fans and contributed to a significant amount of word-of-mouth popularity. It’s been a definitive fan favourite on BookTok for years (the massive TikTok community dedicated to all things literature).
