Animals: Movie Review
As a director, Ben Affleck is still criminally underrated. The man has given us some real gems, such as Gone Baby Gone , The Town , and Argo , the latter of which earned him two Oscars. Needless to say, any film directed by him is a no-brainer for me, as I know I'm in for something entertaining and full of twists. So, when his latest film, Animals , landed on Netflix, I knew I had to give it a watch. Compared to the rest of his filmography, Animals is probably Ben Affleck's weakest effort to date, but it's still an enjoyable watch for a weekend evening.

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.

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.

Nobody’s Fool: an article
Nobody’s fool is one of Paul Newman‘s later works. The movie was done in 1993, but was released theatrically in 1994. It is quite frankly one of my favorite movies of all time to be quite honest with you. Paul Newman did a great job in his role. I mean of course he was gonna do a great job. He’s Paul Newman or was Paul Newman either way rest in peace, sir. Jessica Tandy the legendary actress was also in the motion picture, and the film was dedicated to her because unfortunately it would become her last motion picture. May she also rest in peace.

Resident Evil: Movie Review
Zach Cregger, the brilliant mind behind Barbarian and Weapons , is back with yet another horror movie: the latest adaptation of the hit video game Resident Evil . If you're at all familiar with Cregger's last couple of films, you'll know exactly what to expect from his filmmaking style, which seamlessly blends grotesque, disturbing horror themes with moments of levity and humour. And as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Resident Evil doesn't stray far from Cregger's signature style, and that's a good thing, as the comedy works hand in hand with the horror to create an experience that's just as funny as it is terrifying.

Extra Geography (2026)
Extra Geography is not something I would have ever indulged. My experiences of geography as a school subject, for someone with no sense of direction and more interested in people than land, were not good. I did not like the Head of Geography. Although his wife, also a geography teacher, was surprisingly lovely to me when I played Anne of Green Gables in the school musical. Some red-headed solidarity – she gave me her first edition copy of the book, which still adorns my shelves.

Spielberg Delivers The Needed Disclosure Day
Imagine it. The unifying event humanity desperately needs, all put together in a way you can feel. After all the buzz throughout the years, and the recent round of critical reviews to the contrary, Steven Spielberg can still deliver. And he does it with a subtle but powerful punch in the end that makes sitting through Disclosure Day worthwhile.

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).

The Love Hypothesis: Movie Review
People have been waiting for this movie. There are so many layers to the lore surrounding this book, the story behind it, and even the casting of the movie. If you're not already familiar with everything happening on BookTok and within the various fandoms, it can be a real head-scratcher to keep up with it all.
