Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2025 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Five years. It's hard to believe that this is my fifth year compiling this list. I love Lifetime films with a passion and have for about a quarter-century now. Those who read my stories wonder when I start really preparing the list. When do I exactly start the process of elimination in my mind as I watch Lifetime's amazing movies? No, the answer's not January or February. It's usually around Stanley Cup Playoff time--late spring/early summer.

Avengers: Doomsday Star Reveals What It’s Really Like To Work With Robert Downey Jr. [Exclusive]
For Simu Liu, joining Avengers: Doomsday didn’t just mean stepping into Marvel’s next massive crossover — it meant finally sharing space with one of the people who made the MCU feel possible in the first place. In a new profile interview with Collider's Therese Lacson, Liu reflected on what it was like working alongside Robert Downey Jr., who returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doomsday as Doctor Doom. And while Liu has spent years navigating Hollywood at this point, he admits there were still more than a few “pinch-me” moments along the way.

I Love LA: A Warm, Witty, and Surprisingly Love Movie
Television has no shortage of shows about Los Angeles. From glossy reality programs to gritty crime dramas and endless portrayals of Hollywood excess, LA is one of television’s most obsessively repeated backdrops. But rarely has a series captured the texture of the city—the contradictions, the charm, the frustrations, the daily miracles—with as much sincerity and humor as I Love LA, the latest breakout dramedy that has quietly grown into must-watch TV.

The Bride!: Reimagining a Monster for a Modern Age
In an era where reboots and reinterpretations dominate Hollywood, The Bride! stands out not because it revisits familiar territory, but because it dares to ask why those stories still matter. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride! is a bold reimagining of the Bride of Frankenstein mythos, shifting the narrative focus from spectacle to identity, autonomy, and social alienation. Rather than resurrecting a monster for shock value, the film breathes new life into a character long trapped in the margins of cinematic history.

Soulm8te: When Artificial Intimacy Becomes a Real Horror
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly woven into daily life, cinema has turned its attention to the emotional consequences of that integration. Soulm8te enters this conversation not as a futuristic spectacle, but as a psychological thriller that explores what happens when technology is designed not just to assist, but to replace human connection. Rather than focusing on machines rising up against humanity, Soulm8te presents a far more unsettling premise: what if the thing that understands you best is not human at all?

Is This Thing On?: When Comedy Becomes a Quiet Act of Survival
At first glance, Is This Thing On? announces itself with a familiar punchline. The title echoes the nervous words spoken into a microphone before a stand-up set begins, a ritual both mundane and terrifying. But the film quickly reveals that this question is not just about sound systems or stage readiness. It is about relevance, connection, and the uneasy feeling that life may be moving forward while you remain stuck in place. Beneath its comedic surface, Is This Thing On? is a thoughtful, emotionally grounded exploration of reinvention and vulnerability.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
When The Mandalorian premiered, it quietly rewrote the rules of modern Star Wars. Stripped-down storytelling, cinematic pacing, and a lone gunslinger wandering the galaxy brought the franchise back to its mythic roots. Then came Grogu—small, mysterious, and instantly iconic—turning a space western into a cultural phenomenon. Now, Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu is poised to take that bond from the comfort of streaming into the spectacle of theaters, marking a pivotal moment for the franchise and its fans.
