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…

12 ANGRY MEN: THE FIRST AND STILL THE BEST COURTROOM DRAMA
Released in 1957 this classic story of justice, dignity and the fight for what is right unbelievably won no oscars at that year’s ceremony. It is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and sits comfortably in my all time top 10. There are no special effects, no grand sets and no over…
MY LIST OF THE BEST AND WORST TV SHOWS THIS YEAR PLUS SOME HIDDEN GEMS
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…
STRANGER THINGS VOL. 1 REVIEW — SEASON 5 GOES FOR THE THROAT
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Season 5 hits with a bang and doesn’t just raise the stakes it blows the doors clean off. It packs so much punch.

WILD CHERRY – A GLOSSY, GOSSIP GIRL MEETS MYSTERY DRAMA WITH BITE
Wild Cherry definitely gives off Gossip Girl vibes, but with a darker twist of Pretty Little Liars and a dash of Mean Girls and honestly, that cocktail makes it pretty addictive.

THE ROAD TO OBSESSION: RUTH WILSON AND EMMA THOMPSON SHINE IN DOWN CEMETERY ROAD
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…
THE TERMINATOR MAKES A SPECULATOR RETURN TO THE BIG SCREEN
“I’ll Be Back.” When Arnold Schwarzenegger first uttered those now-iconic words, “I’ll be back,” the audience at London’s Eventim Apollo erupted into spontaneous applause and cheers of delight. For one night only on Sunday, James Cameron’s legendary sci-fi classic The Terminator returned to the big screen this time with a live orchestra performing the powerful score. The effect was electrifying. A massive drum, struck…
IS IT JUST ME, OR WAS THE STRANGER THINGS TEASER BETTER THAN THE TRAILER?
After years of buildup, the final season of Stranger Things is finally on the horizon and the new trailer has fans buzzing with excitement and debate. Personally, I have mixed feelings. The teaser honestly felt stronger than the full trailer. It looked epic, but emotionally, it left me a bit underwhelmed. Not much actually happened, except for…
LAZARUS: OVERCOMPLICATED, OVERRATED, AND JUST PLAIN ODD
There’s only one way to describe Lazarus overcomplicated, weird, and just plain strange. This might be one of the weakest Harlan Coben adaptations yet, which is disappointing because it had so much potential. Joel Lazarus, or “Laz” (Sam Claflin), follows in his father’s footsteps as a psychiatrist. To clear up any confusion early on the father…
