he tragic context behind this film is compounded by the fact that it is a very lovely film. Veteran French director and Palme d’Or-winner Laurent Cantet died during production and the reins were passed over to his friend and colleague Robin Campillo.Just speculating here, but had Cantet lived to complete the film and delivered something vaguely similar to what we have here, then it would have stood as one of his finest cinematic achievements, particularly when it comes to his overarching project of exploring the lives of young people in that liminal space between education and work. In its crisp, clean…

The following post contains SPOILERS for 2026’s Masters of the Universe movie. If you read this and then complain that I spoiled the movie, you stink worse than Stinkor. Every superhero has an origin story.

Superman’s parents perished along with the rest of his home planet, Krypton. Peter Parker gained the powers of a radioactive spider from an insect bite, but he didn’t truly become Spider-Man until after a thief broke into his home in Queens…

The latest sci-fi release usually leads Apple TV’s global streaming chart. But with the conclusion of the hit MonsterVerse series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the next sci-fi show, For All Mankind, has failed to reach the needed viewership to claim the top position. The recently concluded series barely cracked the top five throughout its run. This has led to the domination of non-sci-fi shows like Your Friends & Neighbors, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and Widow’s Bay. However, Apple TV always has the next big hit lined up, and the latest one is on its way to becoming a sensation. The…

Mere weeks later and only one week into shooting, director Mary Lambert (who had been brought in to replace Ross) was also let go, in part because she was changing production details that Prince had already approved. Costume designer Marie France recalled one such instance when, days before shooting Mary Sharon’s birthday scene, Lambert directed France to replace the handmade cut-velvet gown worn by Kristin Scott Thomas with something else. When France sought Prince’s approval, he told her to disregard Lambert’s direction. ​“She was gone after that,” France told me. ​“That day or maybe that week. That might have been…

The Valla are a rising UK indie-rock outfit building their name on emotional honesty and high-voltage live energy. Emerging from the British grassroots scene, the band have steadily carved out their space through punchy songwriting, cathartic choruses, and a refusal to dilute their message. Fronted by George Coulson, The Valla channel frustration, heartbreak, and resilience into t captures the band at their most direct. Built around sharp guitars, driving rhythms, and a chant-worthy hook, the track wastes no time in delivering its message. It’s brash, bold, and intentionally confrontational — but beneath that swagger sits emotional release.The lyrics centre on reclaiming…
