Selling Sunset Season 9 proves the drama at the Oppenheim Group is as shiny and relentless as ever. You’ve still got the jaw-dropping real estate, the glossy open houses, and agents who seem to sell gossip as much as they sell houses. It’s high heels, high drama, and high-end listings all the way. The season picks…
When I heard Nobody Wants This was getting a second season, I wasn’t convinced it needed one and after watching, I’m still not. It feels like the show’s trying to recapture the spark of season one but forgot to bring the story with it. Nothing really happens this time around, and what does happen feels forced. Joanne…
Regretting You is Paramount’s new romance drama based on the 2019 novel by Colleen Hoover the same author behind It Ends with Us, which made a ton of money despite the whole Blake Lively controversy. Thankfully, there’s no drama (yet) with this production… but hey, there’s still time for the “Colleen Curse” to show up. The film…
There are few filmmakers who’ve ever made me want to start a band, quit school, and maybe make a film about it afterwards. Richard Linklater is one of them. This Saturday, I’ll be on the London Film Festival red carpet to meet the man himself the director who gave us School of Rock, Before Sunrise, and Boyhood now returning with something completely different: his…
I have never seen a Paul Thomas Anderson movie before, so this is my first one. Don’t come for me. That said, I can now understand why people love his films. One Battle After Another is bold, chaotic, and strangely magnetic a film that feels both messy and meaningful at the same time. It’s very manly in…
Yesterday afternoon, Sean Combs was sentenced to four years in prison. But let’s be honest he’ll probably end up serving about two years with “good behaviour and credit.” At the start of the day, the judge said he was going to consider everything even the things Diddy had been acquitted for. He also mentioned that he…
With a career spanning from Cats at 16 to EastEnders and beyond, John Partridge has never shied away from roles that challenge and inspire him. Now, he steps into the shoes of William “Billy” Haines in The Code at Southwark Playhouse a play that shines a light on a forgotten queer icon of Hollywood’s golden era. We sat down…
You walk into the Southwark Playhouse in Elephant and the set immediately catches your eye. It’s glamorous, glitzy, and dripping with Old Hollywood style which is exactly what you’d expect, since the play is set in the 1950s. The Code is a witty, funny, and dazzling production that strips away the shimmering surface of Tinseltown to…
You have to give Jenny Han credit every single one of her books that’s been adapted has become a hit show. Whether you’re Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah, she knows how to play the game. She creates brilliant storylines and chooses actors who make the characters unforgettable. Even in the finale, Jenny Han adds her…
“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…
