» Just like most people, you'll likely have seven different relationships on average during your adult life before you find the person you end up staying with or the one that is your soulmate. This is the narration from the opening scene of Love Life, a new original romantic comedy/drama series starring Anna Kendrick, which is now streaming on HBO GO. Surprisingly, the show is fun with beautiful shots of New York City. While the series has been marketed as a rom-com, the comedy element is not over the top.

» I'm usually quite sceptical when it comes to Will Ferrell's movies. Although I think he's a fairly funny guy, I also know that his trademark over the top blustering slapstick sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. But since the new musical comedy Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga was directed by David Dobkin, who directed the decent Wedding Crashers (2005), and with Ferrell who co-wrote and produced the film, I decided to give this new Netflix feature a try. While I don't think this comedy is necessarily funny, the production value, the pacing, the music and choreography are surprisingly well done. And especially the romcom of the two lead characters Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams is sweet, heartfelt, and definitely worth the watch.
