Highest 2 Lowest review: Spike Lee and Denzel Washington turn Kurosawa into a jazz-soaked NYC crime epic
TL;DR: Spike Lee remixes Kurosawa with Broadway, hip-hop, and Knicks fandom, while Denzel Washington delivers one of his most layered performances in years. Highest 2 Lowest is a dazzling, imperfect, joy-soaked crime drama…
Dexter: Resurrection finale review: a shocking death, a killer’s redemption
TL;DR: Dexter kills Leon Prater, mourns Angel, bonds with Harrison, and sails off into a future full of serial killers yet to be caught. It’s messy, emotional, and surprisingly good…
The Conjuring: Last Rites review: it ends where it began, safe and predictable
TL;DR: The Conjuring: Last Rites is a safe, dated farewell to the Warrens. Solid performances, stale scares, and no surprises. Strictly for fans who want one last comforting jump before…
Foundation season 3 episode 9: a reckoning in ash and love
TL;DR: Planets burn, the Mule’s “love” proves deadlier than bombs, Demerzel admits her programming has become a maze, Gaal bargains with a bitter Vault-Hari, and Brother Day crawls out of…
Huawei MatePad 11.5 (2025) review: stylish, sturdy, and surprisingly capable
TL;DR: The purple Huawei MatePad 11.5 (2025) nails the balance between style, comfort, and practicality. Stunning matte screen, marathon battery, smooth performance, and accessories that actually make sense. Google services…
The Paper review: The Office’s spiritual successor, but with even faster banter and higher stakes
TL;DR: The Paper is like The Office and Parks and Rec blended for 2025—hilarious and heartfelt, but too rushed for its own good. Binge it, love it, then wish it had twice as many episodes. There’s…
Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 review: a true all-in-one hair tool?
TL;DR: The Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer is a versatile, mid-range alternative to the Dyson Airwrap. It comes with multiple attachments (curlers, brushes, concentrator, diffuser) that let…
Cronos: The New Dawn review: almost brilliant, almost broken
TL;DR: Cronos: The New Dawn is a bold, atmospheric, and frustratingly inconsistent survival horror game. Worth playing, but not unforgettable. Sometimes a game walks into your life like a drunk…
Wednesday season 2 part 2 review: Netflix’s split-season curse strikes again
TL;DR: Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 is spooky fun with stellar performances, but Netflix’s split-season experiment is choking its pacing. Great cast, great Burton flair, but messy structure. A ghoulishly good…
Alien: Earth episode 5 review: the Maginot’s crew and the weight of inevitability
TL;DR: Episode 5 of Alien: Earth revisits the doomed Maginot, delivering one of the franchise’s most tragic stories. Equal parts xenomorph chaos and human betrayal, it sets the stage for Morrow’s revenge…
Hell is Us Review: the Soulslike that dares you to wander
TL;DR: A stunningly atmospheric but uneven mix of Soulslike combat and directionless exploration. Frustrating, ambitious, worth your time. I have a soft spot for games that dare me to get…
Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club review: cosy crime meets all-star cast
TL;DR: A charming, starry adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestseller that plays it safe but delivers cosy crime comfort. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure I wanted a film version of The…
Is the Dreame Pocket Hair Dryer the ultimate travel companion?
TL;DR: Light, foldable, and surprisingly powerful. The Dreame Pocket Hair Dryer delivers fast, quiet drying and polished results, though its curling nozzle disappoints and it’s not dual voltage. Introduction: Why…
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance review: a long-awaited return from the shadows
TL;DR: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a glorious return for Sega’s ninja series—beautifully animated, mechanically deep, and endlessly replayable. Minor flaws aside, it’s one of the best 2D action games…
The Assassin review: stylish chaos, dark comedy, and midlife mayhem, now streaming on STARZPLAY
TL;DR: Keeley Hawes is magnificent in The Assassin, a smart, stylish, and hilariously absurd menopausal hitwoman drama on Prime Video. Come for the gunfights, stay for the mother-son banter. There are…
Foundation season 3, episode 8 review: skin in the game, the calm before the storm
TL;DR: Gaal prepares for sacrifice, Demerzel breaks, Brother Day falls, and the Mule tightens his grip. The calm before the storm has never felt so fatal. If there’s one thing Foundation excels at,…
Dexter: Resurrection episode 9 review: a tragedy that finally breaks the butcher
TL;DR: Angel Batista dies, Dexter breaks, and Leon Prater’s carnival of death is about to begin. This episode is a masterclass in inevitability, setting up a finale that promises nothing short…
Google Pixel 10: what reviewers are saying about Google’s boldest AI-driven phone yet
TL;DR: Google’s Pixel 10 nails design, display, cameras, and AI ambition at under $800. It’s exciting and futuristic, but AI quirks, slow charging, and weaker raw performance hold it back.…
