A LOVE LETTER TO CINEMA : FALLING FOR NOUVELLE VAGUE ALL OVER AGAIN
There’s something instantly charming about a film that begins with its actors sitting in a cinema watching a movie. It pulls you right into its world, like you’ve slipped into the seat beside them.

CLUELESS MEETS CHRISTMAS AND IT’S NOT A HIT
I might now officially be one of those people who watch Christmas romance movies in November not by choice, but because curiosity got the better of me. Unfortunately, A Merry Little Ex-Mas didn’t make the experience worth it. You’d think Alicia Silverstone, who nailed comedic timing back in Clueless, and early 2000s heartthrob Oliver Hudson, of Dawson’s Creek fame, would…
“SELLING THE OC” SEASON 4: FRESH FACES, LESS DRAMA, AND FINALLY SOME FUN AGAIN
Is it just me, or is Selling the OC actually better than Selling Sunset now? I’ve always preferred this spin-off maybe it’s the mix of personalities or the coastal vibe but Season 4 really sealed the deal for me.
