But the final stretch of 2025 might just change that, with some truly exciting movies on the horizon. From romance and musicals to horror and sci-fi,…

BROKEN PROMISES: FOOTBALLERS, FINANCES, AND THE V11
I normally don’t like football documentaries, but this one pulled me in. Maybe it’s because the story isn’t about goals, trophies, or tactics it’s about the human cost of financial ruin. The focus on the players themselves, their vulnerability, and how they’ve coped since makes it more than a sports documentary. It feels like a…
“THE WRONG PARIS” REVIEW: A CHEESY ROM-COM THAT SURPRISINGLY WORKS
You know those shitty slapstick movies that still manage to put a smile on your face? The Wrong Paris is exactly that kind of movie. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and honestly, neither should you when you watch it. Yes, it’s low budget. Yes, it feels like a mash-up of The Bachelor and a Hallmark Christmas special without…
DARKEST HOUR: THE OSCAR-WINNING MASTERPIECE NO ONE TALKS ABOUT

OVERCOMPENSATING: A COLLEGE COMEDY THAT MISSES MORE THAN IT LANDS
I think I might be the only one who doesn’t like this new comedy series on Amazon Prime. I just couldn’t get into it. I like the premise of the show I really do but I just think it didn’t have much depth, and it almost felt like watching raw footage of someone’s first year…
INNOCENCE, MERCY, AND THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE: THOUGHTS ON “JUST MERCY”
“Our system has taken more away from this innocent man than the power to give back. We can change this world for the better. If we can look at ourselves closely and honestly. “I believe that we will see we all need justice, we all need mercy and perhaps we all need some measure of…
