There are some films that just feel like a warm hug movies that, no matter how many times you watch them, always bring a sense of joy, nostalgia, or comfort. Here are six of my absolute favourite comfort films that I never get tired of watching. 1. The Parent Trap (1998) This gem is one…
With 6 days to go until Christmas, it got me thinking what my top 5 yuletide movies are. This list would probably change from day to day as I remember other films but, as of now these are my favourites. So here we go … 5. The Holiday Calendar This is an underrated Netflix warm-hearted…
Black Dove’s six-part Netflix show offers a gripping exploration of secrecy, betrayal and the subterfuge of London’s criminal underworld and spy networks. At its core, this series is a slow burner about spy sleeper-cell Helen (Kiera Knightly), a woman who is married to on the rise MP Wallace Web (Andrew Buchan) and trapped in a…
