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. There’s still drama (because, of course), but it’s toned down compared to past seasons, and the office dynamic feels more…

The new thriller from Slow Horses creator Will Smith, based on Mick Herron’s debut novel, hits like a bang literally and figuratively. With the first three episodes now streaming on Apple TV+, I’m already hooked. It’s fast, witty, and full of surprises. Emma Thompson, who usually graces the big screen rather than television, is on sharp form…

There are so many true crime stories out there that it’s getting harder to tell which ones are truly worth watching. Some documentaries pull you in immediately, while others feel either too flat or too sensationalised.

WHY “SAVING MR. BANKS” IS ONE OF DISNEY’S MOST EMOTIONAL AND UNDERRATED FILMS
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…
