Journey to You 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Journey to You is an entertaining Hallmark movie that has everything you'd expect from a Hallmark movie, but with added religious elements.

The film follows Monica (Erin Cahill), an ER nurse practitioner, who has completely dedicated herself to her job and prides herself on never taking vacations. Her new boss has a different perspective and encourages her to take some time off, as it will help reenergize her. At her mother's urging, Monica travels to Spain to join a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, just as her parents did years before. Equipped with the last gift she received from her late father—a devotional with Scripture passages and daily suggestions to guide her and clear her mind—Monica begins to appreciate the slower, more leisurely pace of the Camino.

Stars: Erin Cahill, Solal Bellaiche, Pamela Field

She forges relationships with her fellow pilgrims, including Luis (Eric Valdez), a divorced father traveling with his teenage son and his father. As the Camino progresses, Monica embarks on a journey of self-discovery that brings her closer to God and helps her understand what she truly wants in life. As she reaches the end of this journey, Monica discovers something surprising about her parents' pilgrimage, something that will profoundly impact her as she begins her life after the Camino.

The film is set on the Camino de Santiago, a Catholic pilgrimage in Spain that leads to the shrine of Saint James the Apostle. The location and landscapes are beautiful and help us appreciate and enter the journey that accompanies Monica, Luis, and their family.

The plot is very similar to Hallmark movies: it's entertaining, has humor, and, of course, romance, but it also has a special depth. Because it's set as a pilgrimage, there's an element of faith; we see the characters talk about God and pray. Although the faith element is a small part of the film and we would have liked it to go a little deeper, it encourages us to reflect on our spiritual walk with Christ and also encourages us to let go of the things that weigh us down, to let go of those things that stand in the way of our relationship with Jesus.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...

Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2026 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

The Netflix adaptation of *Steel Ball Run*—whose two-part premiere masterfully condenses the first two volumes of the manga—stands as a celebration of Hirohiko Araki’s creative clean slate. While *Steel Ball Run* serves as a highly recommended entry point into *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* for newcomers, much of its value lies in a prior familiarity with the six-part saga created by Araki. And although the prospect of diving into such a vast and chaotic world may seem intimidating, that very familiarity makes the thematic brilliance of *Steel Ball Run* all the more poignant. Throughout its first six parts, *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* told a fascinating saga centered on the legacy of the Joestar family. The franchise's seventh installment, *Steel Ball Run*, transports this globe-trotting adventure story to the United States of the 1890s. Araki has crafted a standalone narrative continuity that draws heavily upon the mythology already established within the *JoJo* universe. Star...
