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…
DON’T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE CRITIQUES: THE RUNAROUNDS SHINES
There is a reason why IMDb put this eight-episode series on its “shows to watch this week” list. The Runarounds is a brilliant mix of storytelling and music perfect for people who don’t listen to music a lot and for people who live for it. Trust me, I’m not just saying this because I had the…
The Thursday Murder Club: A Cozy, Star-Studded Mystery That Delivers
Chris Columbus has done an excellent job with this murder mystery film. He has a special place in my heart already, as he directed the first two Harry Potter movies, which defined a big part of my childhood. That nostalgic affection probably made me even more excited to see his take on Richard Osman’s beloved novel. This…
MY LIFE WITH THE WALTER BOYES SEASON 2: A GLOW-UP WITHOUT THE SPARK
I loved Season 1 of My Life with the Walter Boys, but Season 2 made me question whether the magic is already gone. It felt repetitive to season one in the sense that you still have Alex riding his horse Murphy, only now he wants to get into rodeo riding. It’s like déjà vu with just…
THE TRUTH ABOUT JUSSIE SMOLLETT: A CONFUSING DOCUMENTARY THAT MISSES THE MARK
The Truth About Jussie Smollett sets out to re-examine one of the strangest celebrity scandals of the last decade. In 2019, Smollett, best known for his role on the TV series Empire (which I’d honestly never heard of before watching this), reported that he was the victim of a brutal hate crime in Chicago. According to his account,…
PAUL AND PAULETTE TAKE A BATH: BOLD, CONFUSING AND UNSETTLING
I saw Paul and Paulette Take a Bath last month at the Soho Screening Rooms, and honestly, I found it very hard to immerse myself in. It’s the feature debut of British-French filmmaker Jethro Massey, and while I respect him for trying to make something original and different, leaning into bygone times instead of giving…
TAYLOR’S GLOW-UP IN THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY MADE ME LOVE HER EVEN MORE
The recent episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty just reminded me why Taylor is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters this season. Honestly, her whole arc has been such a glow-up. She’s still the bold, confident Taylor we’ve always known the one who’s quick with a joke, unafraid to speak her mind, and never short…
THE HUNT FOR SHANNON MATTHEW’S – LIES, MEDIA AND A MISSING CHILD
On 19th February 2008, Karen Matthews called the police to say her nine-year-old daughter Shannon hadn’t come home from school in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. What followed was West Yorkshire Police’s biggest investigation since the Yorkshire Ripper. A massive £3.2 million search unfolded, lasting 24 days and gripping the nation. This new two-part documentary, The Hunt for…
