» Hooligan rage, racism, bigotry and gangsterism are hardly confined to one nation -- they are grim realities of modern society across the globe. In recent years, Western cultures in particular have wrestled with the visible resurgence of extremist ideologies and rising fascist sentiments.
Back in black

» After what feels like an eternity, Netflix has finally brought Jenna Ortega back to our screens -- and back to the shadowy corridors of Nevermore Academy -- in Wednesday Season 2. This time, we're getting the story in two halves: Part 1 now, Part 2 in September. That split alone is enough to test the patience of fans who have been waiting since the breakout first season, but at least these four new episodes offer enough twists, revelations, and deliciously dark moments to keep us hooked until the rest arrives.
Unravelling family secrets

» The Better Sister is the kind of show that proves that even with a stellar cast, a gripping premise and polished production, there's no guarantee it will deliver a consistently entertaining experience. That isn't to say the latest Prime Video mystery thriller is a bad series -- far from it -- but it struggles to stand out in a genre already saturated with stronger contenders. We've probably seen a dozen shows that handled similar material with more finesse and momentum.
When two genres collide

» I am always intrigued when filmmakers attempt to blend two polar opposite genres -- such as horror and comedy -- just to see how it turns out. These films can either be a surprising hit or an awkward miss. In the case of The Parenting, the latest comedy-horror offering from MAX, I'd say it unfortunately leans closer to the miss side. While it has a decent premise and some entertaining moments, the overall execution falls flat, making it feel more like a missed opportunity than a memorable film.

» Patrol police show On Call is designed to cater to fans of Southland (2009) and Jake Gyllenhaal's film End Of Watch (2012). Like its predecessors, it delivers a thrilling experience that immerses viewers in the perspective of patrol officers -- those who risk their lives every day.

» On Dec 26, 1996, John and Patsy Ramsey woke up after a joyful family Christmas to discover their youngest child, six-year-old JonBenét, missing. A chilling ransom note had been left downstairs. Later that day, John Ramsey discovered his daughter's body in the basement, exposing the horrific truth -- JonBenét had not been kidnapped but was sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in her own home.
A musical misfire

» 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.

» After a three-year pause due to the pandemic, the long-awaited action-thriller series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is finally back to Prime Video and on our screens for its third season.
