Hostage (2025) promises high-stakes drama with two female world leaders facing personal and political crises but despite Suranne Jones’ strong performance, the series suffers from slow pacing and predictable twists. I couldn’t even watch the whole 5 episodes. Even 20 minutes into the first episode I was on my phone because I was bored, and…
This year has felt like the spotlight has been on TV shows rather than films. Everywhere I look, people are talking about the latest series drop or binge-worthy drama. But the final stretch of 2025 might just change that, with some truly exciting movies on the horizon. From romance and musicals to horror and sci-fi,…
“You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.” Winston Churchill delivered this line straight to Halifax’s face in the War Rooms, and somehow Halifax still didn’t get the point. That’s the kind of sharp, cutting drama Darkest Hour thrives on. For me, this is easily one of the best war films of…
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.

After seeing Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the theatre for the second time, I was amazed all over again but this time, I left with my brain spinning, trying to figure out what the elusive easter egg might be for the…
I think the critics have got this one wrong. The second season of Annika just landed on BBC iPlayer this week, and honestly, it’s perfectly watchable, more than that, it’s gripping, clever, and completely unique in how it’s told. What makes Annika a brilliant crime drama is its format. DI Annika Strandhed (played by Nicola Walker) breaks the fourth…

“Wherever this blood leads. I need you to fight one last time. Let’s end this, kid.” This chilling line closes the official teaser for Stranger Things Season 5 and I had goosebumps. The teaser doesn’t reveal much, but what it does show is powerful and emotionally intense. One of the most heart-wrenching moments was seeing Lucas desperately trying…
