The scenery is gorgeous, the relationships are a disaster, and everyone could probably use a long nap and a TED Talk on boundaries. Welcome to The Plunge.
Cork O’Connor heads into the Boundary Waters for what should be a family trip, but instead finds missing friends, dangerous men, and questions about the difference between justice and revenge. Relaxing vacations are not...
A missing family, a mansion turned local legend, and one of the vanished daughters strolling back into town fifteen years later. Such a Clever Girl has a genuinely creepy hook; it takes way too long to pay off.
The Good Daughter had me turning pages and second-guessing every single character. Now Peacock’s adaptation is bringing all that buried trauma, family tension, and danger to the screen. Watch the new trailer.
I liked Remain on the page, but the trailer has me wondering if this story was always meant to be a movie. Less Nicholas Sparks, more M. Night Shyamalan? Now you have my attention.
Rocket science is hard enough without adding magic, murder, and pirate treasure to the equation. The Starseekers is wildly imaginative, occasionally overstuffed, and still a pretty fun ride.
Some marriages have red flags. This one had an actual bullet. Freida McFadden's Brain Damage asks what happens when the person hunting you might be the one you trust most.
A perfect Beverly Hills marriage, a dead first wife, and one very suspicious housewife. I thought I knew where The Housewife was going, but this twisty domestic thriller had other plans.
A luxury influencer yacht, a billionaire boss, and a hurricane trapping everyone at sea? The Last Time We Drowned turns curated paradise into a claustrophobic nightmare with better lighting.
I have never found a dead body, and I’d love to keep that streak alive. But as someone who watches too much true crime, I have wondered: if a normal walk suddenly turns crime-scene-adjacent, what are you actually...
A new Vought Rising teaser takes us back to the early days of Vought, where the costumes are sharper, the secrets are darker, and the supes are already a problem.
A bank heist. A murder. Zero exits. Ernest Cunningham is having the worst errand day ever. Find out why I gave Benjamin Stevenson's Everyone In This Bank Is a Thief 3.25/5 stars.
