But while their chemistry shines, the film itself is weighed down […]
If you’re a fan of movies like Friday, Girls Trip, B.A.P.S., or even Weekend Friends, One of Them Days is your next must-see.

It’s chaotic, heartfelt in […]
Netflix finally gave us a proper binge with The Upshaws Part 6, dropping ten episodes instead of the frustratingly short six-episode runs we’ve been getting.

In 2023, Jamie Foxx’s health scare made headlines, […]
The Wild Robot is a captivating animated film that blends humor, heartfelt moments, and stunning visuals to deliver a poignant story about parenthood, adaptation, and connection.

“The Deliverance” takes a swing at blending supernatural horror with intense family drama, but while it manages to hit a few strong notes, the film ultimately falls short of delivering a truly cohesive experience.

Onyx Collective’s hit comedy series “UnPrisoned” premiered its second season on Hulu with all eight episodes on Wednesday, July 17. If you’re anything like me, good bingeable shows are a double-edged sword because I end up watching everything in one sitting—pace yourself! Season 2 dives deeper into the intricate family dynamics between Paige Alexander (Kerry […]
“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” is a surprising summer must-see that transcends the expectations set by its trailers. Eddie Murphy returns as the iconic Axel Foley, delivering a performance that blends action, humor, and unexpected emotional depth.
