FROM SCREEN TO STAGE AND BACK AGAIN: WHY THEATRE IS LOSING ITS RISK-TAKING EDGE

Posted on August 9, 2025August 9, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

I’m walking past the theatre district the other night, and I swear I thought I’d taken a wrong turn into an earlier age. Back to the Future in giant neon. Down the street The Lion King (again). Around the corner The Devil Wears Prada and right there in the middle? A whole pack of spotted dogs 101 Dalmatians and…

RUSHED, UNFOCUSED, AND MISSING LOUISE: A REVIEW OF BODY IN THE BIN

Posted on August 6, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

I don’t understand why British true crime documentaries lag so far behind their American counterparts. The storytelling always feels rushed, and you never really get to know the victim as a person. In this case, we don’t even get an explanation of how Louise Kam met her killers. Was it planned, random, casual? Did she…

“My Oxford Year” Review: Romance, Rain, and a Touch of Poetry

Posted on August 1, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

“This is the messiness of life, and as an annoyingly brilliant man once told me, these are the best bits.” Sofia Carson is on fire with romantic comedies this year, first The Life List, and now My Oxford Year. She has this girl-next-door charm that fits perfectly with these roles. You genuinely believe her as Anna, an…

HAPPY GILMORE 2: SILLY, STAR-STUDDED, AND SURPRISINGLY SENTIMENTAL

Posted on July 29, 2025July 29, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Happy Gilmore 2 starts with a bang and delivers a hilarious first hour that had me laughing harder than I have in years. The film leans fully into its cornball nature and I loved that about it. It knows what it is and never tries to be anything more than a ridiculous, feel-good comedy. Even though…

LINDSAY LOHAN STILL HAS HER SPARK — A COMEBACK FUELLED BY TALENT, GROWTH, AND CHARM

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

It all began in early 2000s Hollywood. Lindsay Lohan quickly became known for her magnetic on-screen presence in films like The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, and Mean Girls. While she faced significant personal struggles throughout her career, Lohan has made a strong return in recent years, reminding both fans and critics that her acting skills and signature spark…

HOW BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM BECAME A QUIET CLASSIC 

Posted on July 27, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

When Bend It Like Beckham landed in UK cinemas in 2002, it wasn’t just a charming underdog sports film. It was even if we didn’t fully realise it at the time a cultural moment. A modest British indie about a Punjabi girl in West London defying tradition to chase a football dream, it went on to become…

WHY “WHITE CHICKS” IS STILL FUNNIER THAN MOST MODERN COMEDIES 

Posted on July 23, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

It’s been over 20 years since White Chicks dropped and yet it still has got iconic lines and rewatched like it came out last week.  Why is this chaotic and over the top 2004 comedy aged better than so many of the funnier movies today? Here are 4 reasons why I think it still stands…

While tennis movies aren’t as common as other sports films, they offer a compelling mix of drama, romance, and comedy. Here are some of the best…

WATCH THIS / SKIP THAT

Posted on July 3, 2025July 3, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Based on Casey McQuiston’s best-selling novel, Red, White & Royal Blue delivers a charming blend of romance, wit, and political intrigue. The highly publicized feud between Alex (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the U.S. President, and Britain’s Prince…
