Six Nations: Full Contact 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 I should start by saying that I'm a huge rugby fan and I understand that they were always going to try and appeal to the unanointed. And to be fair, they've managed to turn the sport into a neat little consumable package and that's not a bad thing at all. The players they choose to focus on are (mostly) good to watch, especially the likes of Porter and Russell.


All that said, the show is flawed. I feel like dedicating an episode to getting casual/beginner viewers up to speed and then going a little deeper into the sport itself may have been the more appropriate decision rather than the over-simplifying route they took. 

Stars: Ugo Monye, Finn Russell, Stuart Hogg

The sound effects on every tackle get boring pretty quickly, as do the angles that change every 5 seconds, and OMG someone has to answer for the NURSE amount of slow motion shots. The efforts to cinematize the matches fall flat and are just embarrassing overall.


In short, there's something for everyone and generally speaking it's more entertaining than boring. But if you're looking for something a little deeper, keep looking.

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...

 Disney premiered its live-action remake starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot in Los Angeles on Saturday, and early reactions to the film indicate that it's much better than expected, minor computer-generated enhancements aside. On Saturday, Disney premiered its live-action remake of Snow White in Los Angeles.

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 ...
