» When we think of abusive relationships, our minds often imagine physical violence leading to black eyes or bruised lips, but in reality, there's much more to it than that. It can also involve mental, emotional, and verbal abuse. If you watch the trailer of the new miniseries Maid, it might look depressing or even a public service announcement about domestic abuse but don't let that scare you away because Maid will get you hooked on its plot in minutes. I spent 10 hours binge-watching in one sitting. Maid is one of those shows that has that effect on you. This drama is powerful, heartbreaking, inspiring, and absolutely one of the best shows on Netflix I've seen all year.

» Japanese anime, a genre loved by many, has taken the world by storm, especially over the past few years. And with Star Wars being a pop-culture phenomenon and one of the biggest sci-fi franchises on the planet, some may have wondered how an non-American-made computer-animated Star Wars movie besides The Clone Wars (2008) and The Bad Batch (2021) would look. Fortunately, we now know with the release of Star Wars: Visions, a nine-episode anime series featuring independent stories written for the Star Wars universe and for fans looking for something different. The first season is now available on Disney+, which recently dropped all the episodes.
Making amends

» Whether you believe in life after death or not, we can all agree that it would be nice to have more time to settle matters or have the chance to say goodbye to loved ones before we continue our journey into the afterlife. This combination of romance and supernatural has been used in a number of films over the years like Ghost, a blockbuster hit from 1990, and more recently in Endless (2020). These films are usually designed to be feel-good or tear-jerkers and you'll get both from the latest Netflix original Afterlife Of The Party.

Zombies are back but with a twist

» It's not always easy to make a decent zombie movie, especially if your goal is to satisfy a new generation of horror fans as well as those who prefer the old rules of the genre. Nowadays, zombie movies come in all different shapes, styles, and levels of blood and gore. They are constantly evolving and have grown out of George Romero's cult classic Night Of The Living Dead. However, no matter what kind of zombie movie you make, you'll surely need a great story to go along with it too.
A housebound thriller

» Joe Wright's latest directorial thriller The Woman In The Window has recently been the centre of criticism by fans of the book that the film is based on and others who think the premise borrowed too much from Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic film Rear Window. But regardless if one calls it a rip off or an homage to Hitchcock, the opening scene of the movie utilises the camera to pan across the interior of a lonely apartment and settle on a TV freeze-frame of James Stewart's anguished face from Rear Window, so at least they're acknowledging the similarities. And yes, this film is also all about peeping.

An underwater friendship

» My Octopus Teacher recently won the Best Documentary category at the Academy Awards, which may be a huge surprise for many. This story of a man and his unlikely friendship with an octopus in the cold ocean off Cape Town, South Africa triumphed over other heavy hitters this year like Alexander Nanau's Collective, a shocking exposé of needless deaths in Romania; Time, a film about a wife fighting for the release of her husband who was jailed for 60 years; or Crip Camp, an Obama-produced story about the battle for disability rights in the US. But for whatever reason, My Octopus Teacher was seen by critics as the type of underdog story the Oscars love. However, was the film really that great? Well, not really.
