Three years after the less-than-popular season 4 ended, Fargo, the award-winning series inspired by the works of the Coen Brothers, has finally returned to our screens.

The U.S. opioid epidemic seems to have spanned a heap of movies and limited series tackling the issue. Director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte’s The Good Mother is one such entry to this ever-growing genre. While billed as a crime thriller, the Academy winner Hillary Swank starring film is more of a sleepy family drama where everyone involved…
The Curse is a new satirical black comedy created and produced by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, both known for a particularly awkward brand of entertainment. Emma Stone stars alongside Fielder and Safdie in the highly uncomfortable-to-watch 10-episode series about a couple in the midst of filming the pilot for their upcoming reality TV series….
The Ghost Within is a British horror film directed by Lawrence Fowler that promises spine-tingling terror inside an old manor house. Sadly, the unconvincing acting, amateur direction, and subpar script ruin what could have been a chilling ghost story. Where can you watch The Ghost Within in the UAE? The Ghost Within is currently playing…
Darren Le Gallo’s feature directorial debut, Sam & Kate, is a tearjerker drama billed as a romantic comedy.

With a better script and direction, this could have been a poignant drama…
Eight years after the film series that made Jennifer Lawrence a household name concluded, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes takes us back to Panem and the dystopia’s disturbing yearly event.

Three may not be a magic number at the moment for the MCU. The Marvels is the third superhero movie the franchise released this year, the 33rd film overall, and it features an unlikely team of three heroines trying to save the universe. But the film directed by Nia DaCosta is also the least lucrative…
When the Elizabeth Banks-directed horror comedy Crazy Bear was first announced, people treated it as a joke. After all, the premise is, as the title might suggest, a bit crazy.

And it’s easy to see…
