I am a big fan of Frieda McFadden's books. They make the perfect beach read or palate cleanser because they are easy to understand and full of surprises you never expect. Her stories often feature relatable characters and engaging plots that keep readers hooked from start to finish. My favorite, and her most popular book, is The Housemaid , released in 2022. It was destined to become a movie, and now, in 2025, there is a 131-minute film based on the novel starring Amanda Seyf

I’ve been hearing buzz about this film since earlier in the year. It was part of a bidding war between A24, Searchlight Pictures, Neon, and Mubi after its debut at the Sundance Film Festival. A24 acquired it for the small price of $8 million, which is impressive for the team behind the project and adds a decent amount of hype to the film, which is why it was on my radar. And that movie is Sorry, Baby , written and directed by Eva Victor in their directorial debut. She is an A

There’s a new horror studio in town called The Horror Section, with a logo featuring that green sticker horror fans might remember from browsing through our favorite section back in the video store days. And you may have heard of the person who started this new company: Eli Roth. Ring any bells? Love him or hate him, the director-turned-businessman is on a mission to create a studio he wishes had existed when he first started in the biz. The Horror Section was launched earlie

The Running Man is the new action-dystopian thriller directed by Edgar Wright, known for Shaun of the Dead and Last Night in Soho . It is actually the second adaptation of Stephen King's 1982 novel, following the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Neither of which I have seen or read. I entered the 2025 adaptation knowing little to nothing about the story, except that it stars one of America’s favorite leading men, Glen Powell, and features a kind of reality show. Le

It was Christmas of ’98 when Furbies were the must-have toy for kids everywhere. As I descended the stairs at an all-too-early hour for my parents, I looked at my corner of the living room, which was scattered with toys from Santa. Pink frilly makeup sets, probably a Polly Pocket, and other gadgets that a newly teenage girl might want. But no Furbie. I wasn’t surprised because Furbies were the most popular toy of the year, just like Labubus are today—instant collectibles that

As a mother who loves Halloween, it has always been my heartfelt goal to ensure my son shares that same love and excitement for the holiday. First and foremost, I reminded myself that if he didn't enjoy the holiday as much as I did, that would be perfectly fine—I want him to love what he loves and enjoy his childhood in his own way. However, I also believed I could gradually introduce him to the magic of Halloween shortly after birth. So, I started with a bit of what we horro

George Romero is a legend in the horror world, known for his influential work in shaping the modern zombie genre. Although he did not invent the idea of the zombie, his name is most closely linked with zombie films, especially through his work as a director. His Night of the Living Dead series is regarded as one of the most influential, if not the peak, of zombie horror movies. Romero's films are not only known for their horror but also for sharp social commentary. His movie
