Venom: The Last Dance
When Venom came out in 2018, I don’t think anyone expected it to be a trilogy. No one expected to be a good one. And yet here we are with a third venom movie in. The comfort is that we were right, and the trilogy as a whole is not good. The first one was, Tom Hardy was a pretty great casting choice and it was a fun, funny comic book movie. Then Let There Be Carnage came out and it was terrible. You could cut out the entire second act of the film and the movie would still make perfect sense, that’s bad writing. So here we are with Venom: The Last Dance, will it be on par with the first one? Or will it go the way of Let There Be Carnage and join the list of terrible superhero movies that came out this year?

The Substance
The Substance is a movie that was hardly talked about this year but has gotten a decent amount of awards buzz. A past her prime actress is presented with an option that might keep her in the spotlight for a bit longer. From the little rumblings that I’ve heard it is an intense story that critiques Hollywood. And we all know that is my shit so we are finally watching The Substance.

Family By Choice : K-Drama Review
Family By Choice is a remake of the Chinese drama “ Go Ahead” I have watched them both. I was a huge fan of the Chinese version and when I heard that the Korean version was going to be released, I was really excited. I loved them both. The Chinese version was released a couple of years back while the Korean version just finished airing. It was so worth it. Family By Choice had a total of 16 episodes and aired from October 9th to November 27th, 2024. The storyline is pretty much similar for both versions. This drama starred Hwang In Youp and Jung Chae Yeon as the leads.

A Different Man
A Different Man is a film that I have heard exactly nothing about, I didn’t even know that Sebastian Stan was in this film so I was both surprised and intrigued. This movie has also been getting a lot of awards season buzz lately so I thought it was my duty to make sure this ended up on the watchlist. Sebastian Stan has taken some wildly different roles in the last few years, and I know that he really just works to eat but he is building up a hell of a portfolio.

Nickel Boys
Arguably the film that has gotten the most awards attention this season is Nickel Boys. It has been on my to-do list for a while because the incredible Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is in it and I am still incredibly bitter about her getting snubbed for Origin last year. Also with her in it you know that it is going to not only be a good film, but an important one. So with awards season looming it was long past time to watch Nickel Boys.

The Day of the Jackal: When Dumb is the New Depth?
The world of TV spies and assassins has given us countless masterclasses in cinematic cool. From the suave James Bond to the ruthless Jason Bourne, audiences have grown accustomed to assassins who always stay ten steps ahead, dodging bullets and outsmarting entire governments. Enter The Day of the Jackal, the latest TV series that's generated sky-high hype and racked up impressive scores on sites like IMDb - despite (or perhaps because of?) its glaring flaws.

Why Do We Find The Convoluted Intricacy So Interesting?
In films and television series, do you ever find yourself supporting the antagonist? You know, the morally ambiguous characters who are neither entirely good nor entirely bad? They are extremely fascinating because they are the ones who fall in the middle. We all have a soft spot for them, let's face it. You're sick of categorizing characters as heroes or villains. That's precisely why grey characters were created, and their popularity has skyrocketed. But have you ever wondered why we find these fictional characters so appealing? We will examine these grey characters' specifics as well as the psychology of why people like them in this article.

Reviewing the First-Ever Edition of "Raw Is Netflix"
A heavily anticipated moment in World Wrestling Entertainment's history has finally come and passed. After I watched the end of the NFL's regular season, I was all ready for the first Monday Night Raw to hit Netflix on the following day! Netflix had been doing some experimenting with live events lately; airing the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight live, and also airing a pair of NFL games on Christmas Day--all to prepare for this moment.
