The Golden Globes promised a reinvention this year new voters, new systems, new energy and yes, some things genuinely have changed. But here we are again, staring at a nominations list that somehow manages to feel both brand-new and déjà vu at the same time. The same old shows and the same old faces pop up, reminding…
It’s that time of year again when I look back at my personal TV highs and lows and shout out a few favourites that might have slipped under the radar. It’s been a surprisingly strong year, with plenty of series giving films a proper run for their money. I’m sure I’ve missed many of your…
I was filled with trepidation before watching this Netflix in-depth interview because I have never really warmed to David Letterman. His long-running late-night show on NBC often had me rolling my eyes as he interrupted guests with smug, unfunny comments. However, he seems to have mellowed, and this conversation with the Marmite Adam Sandler is…
The Grim is one of those plays that feels like a welcome throwback fast-talking, witty, and proudly chaotic, the sort of old-style theatre you don’t often see anymore. Set in London in 1964, it follows Shaun (Edmund Morris) and Robert, two undertakers trying to get through another uneventful morning in the East End. That calm day…
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. Nouvelle Vague does exactly that, and from the opening scene I knew I was in for something funny, clever, and unexpectedly engaging. A…
Director Simon Cellan Jones returns with The Family Plan 2, the action-comedy sequel premiering on Apple TV on November 21st. Following the success of the first film, the new chapter sees the family heading to Europe and diving into more chaos, secrets, and high-stakes adventures. We sat down with Simon to talk about the film’s evolution,…
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…
Some films grab your attention from the first frame, and others quietly sneak into your heart Saving Mr. Banks does both. It’s one of those rare gems that feels comforting and heartbreaking all at once. Every time I watch it, I end up crying not because it’s tragic, but because it’s so beautifully human. It reminds…
Siblings Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, best known for their sharp comedy in This Country, have turned their attention to the supernatural with their new BBC series Nightwatch. The premise sounds intriguing the duo spend nights in some of Britain’s most haunted places, from eerie prisons to pubs with centuries of ghostly tales. On paper, it’s the…
When I heard Nobody Wants This was getting a second season, I wasn’t convinced it needed one and after watching, I’m still not. It feels like the show’s trying to recapture the spark of season one but forgot to bring the story with it. Nothing really happens this time around, and what does happen feels forced. Joanne…
