» Going into the first episode of the new Netflix series set in Ireland, How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, I was quite sceptical, as the setup somewhat reminded me of Stephen King's IT -- a group of nerdy childhood friends, now adults, returning to their hometown after 26 years to confront old fears and a dark secret from their past.

» There's nothing remotely original about the plot of Netflix's new romantic comedy French Lover. A self-absorbed movie star meets a down-on-her-luck "ordinary" woman who teaches him the true meaning of life.

» Remember that Netflix documentary last year called The Program: Cons, Cults, And Kidnapping? It exposed the horrors young people endure through parent-sanctioned abductions to so-called academies designed to "fix" wayward kids. That documentary left many of us shaken with its raw look into an industry that preys on fear and promises false solutions.
When the past returns

» I usually have a soft spot for Scandinavian thrillers. Oftentimes, they're so unique and interesting that Hollywood ends up remaking them -- like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009) or The Hunt (2012). There's a kind of slow-burning tension and cold realism to them that you don't always get in American shows. However, while that's usually the case, I have to say that The Glass Dome, the new six-episode Netflix series, doesn't quite measure up -- even though it has potential.

» Despite the controversies surrounding Joker (2019) upon release, I found many things to admire about the film. Whether it was the ambitious storytelling, the refreshing take on an iconic DC character, or the homage it paid to Martin Scorsese's classics like Taxi Driver (1976) and The King Of Comedy (1982), there was a lot to appreciate. However, when I heard they were making a sequel to what was supposed to be a standalone film, I had a bad feeling. Now that I've seen Joker: Folie À Deux, I can't say my opinion has changed.
Maternal ties

» Happy Mother's Day! A day dedicated to celebrating the women who nurture, guide and love us unconditionally. Mothers -- our caregivers, confidants and sometimes our fiercest critics -- hold a unique place in our lives. Their roles are as multifaceted as the relationships they foster with their children, which are often marked by a blend of deep affection, tension and unspoken understanding. It's no wonder that the intricate dynamics of these relationships have been explored so compellingly in cinema.
