Companion: Do Androids Flirt with Feelings?

Companion sneaks up on you—quietly inventive, funny in all the right ways, and just eerie enough to leave a little static in your head. And yes, I liked it. Quite a lot.

Christoph Waltz SBFF 2010 Image

Old Guy: Old School Meets Gen Z

Simon West’s Old Guy is a sleek-looking action comedy that coasts on Christoph Waltz’s charisma, even if the film itself doesn’t break any new ground. It’s the kind of movie that looks like a good time—and sometimes it is—but leaves you wondering what could have been with a sharper script and better use of its cast.

Sigourney Weaver in The Gorge image

The Gorge: A Fun but Flawed Sci-Fi Adventure

The Gorge is a strange blend of genres that somehow works—most of the time. With a talented cast and a high-stakes premise, it keeps you entertained, even if it doesn’t quite reach the greatness it aims for.

Amsterdamned knife attack

Amsterdamned: A Cult Classic For a Reason

You know, I am doing it all gladly but let me tell you, it's not always all sunshine and roses. You wade through a lot of cinematic sludge to find those true gems, those movies that stick with you long after the credits roll. And let me tell you, Amsterdamned is definitely one of those gems.

Why did I only watch these 5 movies now??!

Sometimes for some reason or another there's no possibility or time to watch a movie that you really should have. These five movies I should have seen way sooner and so should you! So don't make the mistake that I made and go watch these as soon as you can! Your life will be the better for it!

Joel Kinnaman in Silent Night

Silent Night: Wait, John Woo still makes movies?

Joel Kinnaman stars in a film by action director John Woo. I understands why Kinnaman wanted to make the movie, but not why Woo wanted to...

Alien Earth Key Art Egg

Alien Earth: Memory, Machines, and the Space Between

FX's Alien Earth manages something rare: it revisits one of science fiction’s most recognisable cinematic worlds without falling into routine.

Eric Bana and lily Santiago in Untamed image

Netflix’s Untamed: A Beautiful, yet Familiar, Ride with Eric Bana at the Helm

In Untamed, Eric Bana returns to terrain that suits him: morally uncertain, occasionally violent, and emotionally knotted.

Charlie Evans in Paradise Image

Sterling K. Brown Gives Paradise Its Edge

Paradise is a mystery-thriller set in a small town where nothing is as it seems—because of course it isn’t. Paradise leans heavily into the whodunnit formula, with each episode peeling back another layer of intrigue, introducing new suspects, and keeping the tension just taut enough to keep you pressing “next episode

Genneya Walton in Daredevil: Born Again Image

Daredevil: Born Again – The Devil’s Return to Hell’s Kitchen

After a frustrating cancellation, Charlie Cox is back in the suit, Vincent D’Onofrio is back in the game, and we’re getting a continuation of (what I think is) one of the best superhero shows ever made.

Dune_ Prophecy The Bene Gesserit Order Image

Dune: Prophecy – A Return to the Sands of Arrakis

I have been waiting for a Dune series that would truly immerse me in its universe, and Dune: Prophecy luckily delivered on my expectations. I can now say that this was not just another sci-fi adaptation, it was an experience. Dune: Prophecy felt right at home in the larger Dune universe.

Noah Wyle in The Pitt image

The Pitt: Noah Wyle’s Return and the Evolution of Real-Time Drama

The Pitt takes viewers inside the closed of world (dare I say 'ER'..) of a Pittsburgh hospital, where doctors and nurses navigate intense medical crises while balancing personal struggles and workplace politics.

Jodi Balfour in Quarry image

Quarry: A Striking slow burn crime drama that is severely underrated

Some TV shows hit you like a freight train - slow at first, gathering momentum, until you’re completely consumed by their world. Quarry is one of those shows.

Samsung Premiere 9 (LPU9D): A High-End UST Projector That Almost Nails It

A big screen, minimal setup, no need for a giant chunk of hardware hanging from your ceiling. The Samsung Premiere 9 (LPU9D) UST takes that idea and pushes it into high-end territory.

The Pearl Harbor Promo VHS image

Blockbuster Memories: The (Dutch) Pearl Harbor Promo VHS

This promotional VHS tape for Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor is a relic from a time when movie nights meant rewinding and the box art was as much a part of the experience as the film itself.

My Questionable Howard Johnson’s 2001: A Space Odyssey Menu

Nostalgia or Knockoff? When I stumbled upon a 2001: A Space Odyssey children’s menu from Howard Johnson’s, it seemed too good to be true. Spoiler: it probably was.

Innovative Film Marketing: The UK Press Kit for Watchmen (2009)

The 2009 UK press kit for Watchmen is an exceptional collector’s item, embodying the film’s dark, intricate, and visually striking aesthetic. Serving as both a promotional tool and a keepsake, this press kit goes beyond the standard industry package.

From Middle-earth to The White Lotus: The Rise of Set-Jetting

Film tourism, or “set-jetting,” is booming. It’s no longer just about seeing beautiful landscapes or famous landmarks; it’s about stepping into the worlds we see on screen. From exploring Middle-earth in New Zealand to walking the streets of King’s Landing in Dubrovnik, cinema and TV have turned once-quiet corners of the world into tourist magnets.
