Saying that this year Christmas movies from streaming services have been a letdown is an understatement. Prime Video's Something from Tiffany's is mediocre at best. Netflix's Falling for Christmas is boring with zero chemistry; The Noel Diary while good is depressing. Christmas with You hits a lot
This Holiday season I have been mostly disappointed with the fun, cheesy, heartfelt rom-com to come out. Falling for Christmas was supposed to be Lindsay Lohan's big return - falls terribly flat. The Noel Diary is good, but also incredibly depressing and I don't love a cheating storyline. So when I

As an avid bodice ripper reader, Lady Chatterley's Lover was a must-read book. If you don't know the story behind it, English author D. H. Lawrence had one heck of a time getting it published. There was a time when smut was highly unacceptable. So, this novel became notorious for its story of
This is a first for Marvel Studios and their Marvel Television branch for their Special Presentations. We've had others like Werewolf By Night that introduced a new character, but not one for an already established character like The Punisher. The Punisher: One Last Kill comes off the heels of his
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
It's been quite a long time since we've had a Star Wars movie in theaters. In the time between Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and now, we've had a revolution in entertainment in streaming and Star Wars moved from controlling the theater to a fixture in our living rooms with shows like The
