Missing You 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Pointless casting! Cowardly loyalty to a color palette! Smart people making dumb decisions! People living in amazing houses they could never afford! If you can get past all that, it's an easy-to-watch 5-hour-plus series with a reasonable twist.

First, the good. Rosalind Eleazar is great, as she is in everything. However, are we supposed to believe that Steve Pemberton is a genuinely menacing criminal genius? As much as I love him, he's just not. The character Aqua looks to be about 24 and was roommates with Kat's fiancé for 4 years - 11 years ago? When she was what, 9? Brendan is supposed to be 19? It's all SO DUMB. I know it's not meant to be all gritty and hyper-realistic, but please make it a little easier to suspend our disbelief. It would make some of her regrettable decisions easier to swallow.

Stars: Rosalind Eleazar, Ashley Walters, Mary Malone

And look, it was wonderful about 8 or 10 years ago when we started seeing a specific color palette being dedicated throughout a series or movie. A Cure for Wellness, for example. As a marketer, I wholeheartedly approved of it. But is it time to move on? It's almost oddly distracting.

Whatever part of England this series is set in, I want to move there. On a perfectly normal salary, I could afford a spectacular detached house with a character. And with land! I know it's probably better to see beautiful places than squashed new-build townhouses, but see my earlier request: make it easier for us to suspend our disbelief, not harder.

Honestly, if you can see past all that, it's a pretty entertaining and suspenseful series. If you've seen other Harlan Coben Netflix adaptations, it's exactly what you should expect. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, unless you're a grumpy old lady like me.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie." Director: Jared Hess Writers: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener Stars: Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers For the uninitiated, Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" is a sandbox game that immerses players in the Overworld, a whimsical dimension made up of blocky, box-like voxels. There's no single story or single way to play: users can craft items, build structures, ba...

Straw 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The prolific creator's latest film is a typically melodramatic, yet powerful and relevant, depiction of the systemic miseries that drive a hapless heroine into a police standoff. Even die-hard fans of the tireless Tyler Perry sometimes wish he'd slow down a bit and focus on quality over quantity. But Netflix's "Straw" possesses a cultural urgency that elevates it above its usual repertoire of melodramatic comedies and dramas, despite its flaws. Starring Taraji P. Henson as a single mother burdened with more crises than one woman can handle in one day—resulting in a "Dog Day Afternoon"-style hostage situation—"Straw" exhibits the usual flaws of its writer-director-producer. Director: Tyler Perry Writer: Tyler Perry Stars: Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor It's overloaded with plot devices, histrionics, and in-your-face messages, with an overabundance of everything. Yet what breaks the camel's back for this subdued heroine ...
