‘The Idea of You’

Folks, I’m here to tell you that the latest Harry Styles fanfiction movie is good. Great, even. The Idea of You—which is based on the original 2017 novel by Robinne Lee, and not, in fact, fanfiction—is now streaming on Amazon, and it's completely addicting. Anne Hathaway stars as a 40-year-old single mother who takes her teen daughter to...

‘Selling The OC’ Season 3

We know that Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland had a massive falling out in real life and no longer speak. We know that since the latest season of the Selling Sunset spin-off filmed, Stanaland and two other agents in The Oppenheim Group's Orange County office moved on from the agency.

The catch? They're both vampires who are over 100 years old. As Elena sparks up a romance with the mild-mannered Stefan, she soon learns...

‘Happy Endings’

Surely you know the deal by now: Happy Endings was a critically-acclaimed but under-watched show that was canceled way too soon. We're still mad about Happy Endings' fate, but we're grateful for the 57 episodes we got (and also grateful that they live on via streaming). I mean, by today's standards? 57 episodes might as well be the most...

‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ (1999)

The best thing I watched in April 2024 was Ripley, writer/director Steve Zaillian's stark, eerie, and throughly enveloping series adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Zaillian's decision to film the series entirely in black-and-white is, as the kids say, a choice — a choice I applauded, but one that also left...

‘West Side Story’ (2021)

Though there's never really a bad time to watch Steven Spielberg's masterful film adaptation of West Side Story, now is an especially good time, since it stars newly-minted Internet Boyfriend Mike Faist as Jets leader Riff (yes, he sings and dances!) — his take on the character is the best I've seen, and one of the major reasons this movie...
