Since its premiere on November 28, 2025, Heated Rivalry has become HBO Max’s latest streaming hit. Currently at #2 in the US, the series, which is based on the 2019 novel by Rachel Reid, follows two opposing hockey players, Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya (Connor Storrie), as their antagonism on the ice blossoms into a steamy romantic connection.

“It was the summer of 1959, a long time ago. But only if you measure it in terms of years.” Richard Dreyfuss is desolate-looking in a truck parked up somewhere pastoral and private. On the seat beside him is a newspaper with a violent front page headline. Stand By Me is a film steeped in nostalgia for a time full of pleasures and sorrows. Rob Reiner’s visual language heightens the emotions so that we feel everything that 12-year-old Gordy, Chris, Teddy and Vern feel as they set off to find a dead body. Every episode in their odyssey feels more vivid than life itself. In retrospect, these were…

In 44 years as a working filmmaker, James Cameron has only directed 12 movies. And since 2009, he’s only made three features: Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Avatar: Fire and Ash. So when there’s a new James Cameron picture, it is always an event.And what better way to celebrate such an event than by looking back at his entire filmography, all 12 films, and ranking them all. That total does include Cameron’s two nature documentaries about his undersea exploration — 2003’s Ghosts of the Abyss and 2005’s Aliens of the Deep — but it does not include his significant (but not strictly directorial) contributions to other fiction movies like Strange…

The third installment of the Now You See Me franchise, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, has landed on digital streaming platforms as the lowest-grossing film of the lot. The movie has made around $60 million at the domestic box office and just over $200 million globally, while both its predecessors, Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2, made more than $300 million worldwide. The first film, which was released in 2013, remains the trilogy’s only installment to have made it past the coveted $100 million mark. Not only has the third film fallen short of…

Despite its entirely digital construction and sometimes uncanny mix of 24 and 48FPS 3D, Avatar: Fire and Ash is full of messy human impulse which place it well above its big budget Hollywood contemporaries. As fellow Little White Lies contributor Mark Asch said, it’s funny to think of James Cameron as a traditionalist when his work has long-been technology-forward (“Recent years have seen so many former enemies upgraded to auteur status.“) but it’s those beats which make Avatar feel both old school and curiously new at once. Picking up pretty soon after its predecessor director James Cameron sticks to archetypical figures…
