It’s prom season, babes. Even if you’re long past the days of trawling department stores for the best “just enough skin that my parents will still allow” dresses and waiting with bated breath for someone to ask you to the dance, that doesn’t mean you can’t hearken back to the days of great music and subpar punch. We’re talking about movies about prom.
Disney+ has a new teen rom-com coming out Friday, March 31, 2023 called Prom Pact. Mandy wants to ignore all the “promposals” currently clogging up the hallways of her high school in favor of asking the popular boy Graham to help her get into Har ..read more

Nearly a decade ago, we were introduced to the heavy on action, light on dialogue title that is John Wick. On paper the Wick series reads like any paint by number, straight to video action franchise. What has set it apart has been Keanu Reeves’ ability to commit to stunts, gun work, fight scenes, and director Chad Stahelski’s talent for keeping action sequences fresh.
Over the years the Wick series has pushed and evolved in its on-screen combat. The story has been pretty straightforward . The main character is an ex assassin, pulled into a war with a crime family through the memory of his wife ..read more

The apex of the digital age has come and gone. It’s clear we’re on the backside now in the chaotic aftermath of an oversaturated market. Sure, nearly every media title is available on streaming but now there are so many platforms, that just finding and accessing a sought after film is more trouble than its worth.
A handful of years ago before the streaming wars began it was Netflix and Redbox for physical rentals and digital films. Before that there were a few dying Blockbusters and Hollywood Videos, but the second DVD’s could get sent to our houses it was the death blow to that industry ..read more

Sometimes love comes to you when you least expect it, and sometimes, these connections are so powerful, as if you two were inexplicably bonded by no other choice. And this kind of love hurts.
This love brings out a side of you that you never want to face. It uproots your fears, your addictions, your hurt, your defenses. It shows you how broken you are. It shows you how broken they are. As beautiful and torturous and all-consuming as this connection is, you know in your gut that your togetherness was meant to happen. You feel it, the fire in one another. You understand and see one ano ..read more

When battling a chronic condition like Eczema, sometimes we feel self-conscious speaking up. Many times in my life, I would feel nervous sharing about my Eczema, because I feared other people’s judgments, reactions, or misunderstandings.
Over the years of slowly gaining back my self-confidence, I started to become more comfortable talking about my Eczema. In fact, I wanted to share my story to anyone who was interested in hearing about it.
As an Eczema warrior, many of us spend years hiding behind our skin, feeling unworthy of expressing what we’re going through, and keeping to ourselves.  ..read more

Warner Bros. has long felt like the boss’s son of a studio. Its department heads inherited big named properties, have all the money they know what to do with and yet continue confuse us. In August of last year, Warner Bros. made another in their series of baffling decisions. They decided to indefinitely shelve and write off Batgirl, a film completed and paid for.
Specifically with DC (Detective Comics) titles, WB has never been able to get traction. They saw the master decade long, multi film plan Kevin Feige laid out at Marvel Studios and wanted to duplicate it. Then they decided to ta ..read more

Being on every dating app and cramming your schedule with dates for every night of the week isn’t always the most effective strategy when it comes to finding love … in fact, sometimes taking yourself out of the game and going on a little hiatus is exactly what you need to ultimately get what you want.
Lasting love isn’t only a matter of finding the right person; it’s about being the right person. Unfortunately, most people get so caught up in the former they completely ignore the latter. Finding the right person is useless if you can’t recognize them as being the right person for you, and that ..read more

Few things can send waves of panic coursing through a woman’s body quite like a man suddenly pulling away. Things started out so great. You had amazing chemistry, the connection was strong, and you really thought he could be the guy for you. But then things took a turn…
Now he’s not as available… he disappears for days at a time… he ignores your texts… and he just doesn’t seem as excited by your existence. You’re just about ready to throw in the towel and call it a day on this relationship, but then he comes back! Maybe he shoots you a friendly text or wants to hang out.
You feel relief, but a ..read more
