Some movies sneak up on you, don’t they? You sit down expecting light laughs, maybe a touch of nostalgia, and instead, you find yourself grappling with questions about life, love, and what it means to grow up. Big is one of those films. It’s a comedy, sure. It’s a fantasy, absolutely. But it’s also a…
Some movies are laugh-out-loud funny. Some are cringe-inducing. Then there’s Cyrus, a film that dares to exist in the awkward, messy space between the two. It’s part comedy, part emotional excavation, and wholly unlike the typical summer blockbuster. Directed by the Duplass brothers, this quirky indie film walks a delicate line between hilarity and discomfort….
In the ever-expanding world of streaming thrillers, Netflix’s The Madness barges in, grabs your attention, and dares you to look away. Anchored by Colman Domingo’s magnetic performance, the series dives headfirst into a messy labyrinth of distrust, paranoia, and societal critique. It’s sharp, chaotic, sometimes poignant—but for a Christian viewer, it’s worth asking: is it…
Every so often, a television show comes along that makes you sit up and pay attention—not because it’s perfect, but because it dares to be ambitious, even if it doesn’t always succeed. Paramount+ and Showtime’s The Agency is one of those shows. It’s an espionage thriller that leans more into the cerebral than the explosive,…
Christmas movies have a certain rhythm to them—a formula, if you will—that we’ve come to expect. And yet, within that predictability lies their charm: the cozy predictability of love lost and found, the festive sprinkling of forgiveness and hope, and the twinkling lights casting a glow on well-worn tropes. Our Little Secret, a screwball comedy…
There’s something almost mythological about the Beatles’ rise to fame, a tale so universally familiar that it risks losing its humanity in the retelling.

David Gordon Green’s Nutcrackers comes into the holiday lineup with a bit of nostalgia tucked under its arm. It’s not hard to see what Green was aiming for here—a throwback to the scrappy, heart-on-its-sleeve family comedies of the ’70s and ’80s, the kind that didn’t try too hard to be polished but somehow made their…
Let’s talk about Sweethearts. It’s a movie that, on the surface, feels like it could fit neatly into the sea of direct-to-streaming comedies that pop up, get a few chuckles, and then vanish from memory. But Sweethearts tries to be more than that. It’s a buddy comedy wrapped in teenage awkwardness and sprinkled with the…
Life has a funny way of reminding us about the small, often-overlooked connections that hold everything together. Sometimes, that reminder comes wrapped in a warm, witty TV show like A Man on the Inside. Created by Michael Schur, this latest comedy-drama blends genuine humor with moments of introspection, leaving you chuckling one moment and wiping…
There’s a frustrating emptiness at the heart of Cruel Intentions, and not the kind that makes you reflect deeply on life’s brokenness or the human condition.
