Having been written by the same author who wrote Gone Girl and this coming after the critically acclaimed film, Dark Places stays surprisingly true to the book. Its a grim, dark tale that certainly won’t be for everyone, especially considering how uncomfortably realistic it gets at times and as a mystery it keeps the suspense high until the end of the film. Unfortunately for Dark Places, the real joy in the book came with the masterful writing and its quick pace but here it just doesn’t translate to film....

They decide not to prolong their stay at the funeral to avoid things getting awkward. But eventually, they are drawn into the maelstrom. Judy, though, is able to get away but Jen is caught. And she must stay. Quite surprisingly, the casket does not have a body....

A Beautifully Composed Indie Film Competently acted and dripping in aesthetic splendor, Taiwanese Netflix Original Dear Ex is a character driven examination of our attitude toward relationships. With a split focus between 3 predominant characters, lingering shots and deliberately timed bites of dialogue does make the film feel more slow paced than it perhaps should. Despite its flaws, Dear Ex makes for an artistic and absorbing watch nonetheless. The film begins with the crux of the drama as outraged mum Sangilan unleashes an explosion of anger at free-spirited male “mistress” Jay....

Explosive Drama One of the things I love with a politically charged drama like this is the way all the pieces slowly build toward the climax. When handled correctly, the pay-off can feel incredibly rewarding and deliver emotionally charged twists and turns that feel so much more powerful because of the strong foundation set before it. Designated Survivor: 60 Days is a drama that perfectly captures this in its latest episode as we fast approach the end-game of this Korean drama....

Penultimate Pressure for President Park Now on its penultimate episode, Designated Survivor: 60 Days returns for a dramatic slice of politically charged tension. As we near the end of this epic, 16 episode series, 60 Days has done a pretty good job spinning the American series into a Korean adaptation, with enough deviation in the plot line to nestle this nicely into Asian politics. It may not be the best series out there, especially given how rigidly the plot follows its America cousin, there’s enough here to make for an enjoyable watch nonetheless....

A Poignant and Joyous Exploration Of Death Alzheimer’s is a nasty disease. It’s a horrible, parasitic illness that eats away at its host from the inside out until there’s nothing left. I’ve seen this first-hand with my Grandmother, having deteriorated to become a shell of the person she once was. The last memory I have of her is sat as a frail old woman clutching her false teeth; a far cry from the strong, bubbly woman I’d known growing up....

An Unlikely Duo Dinner Mate is a charming, well written and humorous romantic drama that may just prove to be one of the bigger dark horses of the year. Starring Seo Ji-Hye (most recently known for playing Seo Dan in Crash Landing On You) and Seung-Heon (who played Dae-Han in The Great Show), Dinner Mate sets the scene with its opening episodes as we get to know our two leading characters while leaving plenty of intrigue for the future....

A Quartet Of Quarrels Dinner Mate has been quite the surprise this year and the chemistry between the two leads has really helped drive this one forward. Although the show has steered far more into melodramatic waters with its quartet of lead characters, the romance between Do-Hee and Hae-Kyung is enough to look past some of the comedy being dropped. Episodes 19 and 20 of Dinner Mate begin with Hae-Kyung embracing Do-Hee and the two finally start to open up about their true feelings....

Serious Stalker Vibes Episode 4 of Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol begins with the reveal of who’s behind Joon and watching Sook-Kyeong’s apartment block. It turns out it’s Ra-Ra’s doctor, Eun-Seok. Joon is suspicious, to say the least, but it turns out his man actually lives in that same apartment block. He’s not the only one suspicious though, Eun-Seok asks Joon exactly why he’s being so cagey and hiding things....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzcDBHjHePk Episode Guide V.I.P. Team Clash Home Game Foul Play Offside Derby National Overtime Victory Ceremony Gritty, culturally relevant and incredibly endearing, the trailer for this crime thriller just does not do the show justice, especially with the amount of humour it shows. Split across 10 episodes, Dogs Of Berlin sees Germany on the cusp of a gang war. Tensions between the Turks and Neo Nazis reaches fever pitch and at the heart of this conflict are two troubled police officers, crooked cop Kurt Grimmer (Felix Kramer) and Turkish drug officer Erol Birkan (Fahri Yardim)....

A Wonderful Slice Of Life Drama Driveways is a wonderful Indie film. It’s one of those pictures that doesn’t do that much different to other slice of life dramas but what it does, it does incredibly well. It’s a film that’ll almost certainly move you when the final credits roll and have you thinking about the different themes for a while after you’ve turned it off. With some deeply moving ideas, a trio of well-cast characters and a third act that hits hard like a hammer blow, Driveways is easily one of the best films of the year....

Kill-Shot As the pieces of the puzzle start to come together, Emergence returns for another episode that sees us spiral further into the android-centric story, this time with a Terminator-esque spin on proceedings. With light characterisation for Helen and a story that tries to tie everything together that we’ve experienced over the past 4 months, Emergence rockets along at breakneck speed for part 1 of its season finale. Episode 12 of Emergence begins with Helen inviting Emily out for dinner where she gives her a proposition....

A Difficult, Frustrating And Hypnotically Addictive Puzzler Developed by Indie studio Sometimes You, Energy Cycle Edge is a sequel to the previous game in the franchise, Energy Cycle, providing a challenging, frustrating and hypnotically addictive puzzle game. With 44 levels to boot and each requiring a lot of time to complete, Energy Cycle Edge is an absorbing puzzler but one that’s likely to alienate those who have never played the original or don’t have the patience the game demands to complete its difficult challenges....

When he goes to ask for a new ballot, the volunteer there misunderstands and processes the ballot for him instead. He ends up yelling, in front of everyone, that he voted for Tom Weaver. Of course, someone records the event, and Hamilton circulates the embarrassing video on social media. But Jessie convinces Jayden to turn things around and convince people to vote last minute. They go out canvassing one last time and convince multiple people to vote for Jayden–making up for Jayden’s wasted vote on his opponent....

Unless you specialized in psychology, went to medical school, or sought therapy, you probably learned the majority of what you know concerning psychological disorders and how therapy works via media sources. According to research findings, the media is a major source of influence on the general public concerning their understanding of issues like bipolar disorder, psychosis, and depression. It also serves as a vital resource for the general public in terms of learning about mental health practitioners and what they do....

The Footprint of Meteor The first episode of F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers launches with F4 leader Thyme encapsulating the whole story in one go: one person can change your whole world. It’s the start of the school day at Kocher High School Bangkok. The entrance sign claims the title ‘salt of the earth and light of the world.’ New girl Hana introduces herself to Gorya. She asks why Gorya is sitting alone, and hears that she’s one of few athletic scholarship students in a school of elites....

Once More With Feeling We live in an age of pantomimed reality shows, superficial pop acts and one-hit wonders that are chewed up by the music industry and spat out into obscurity. Given the sheer number of reality competitions out there and the thousands upon thousands that audition for them, this format has been reshaped and reformatted numerous times but remains just as popular now as it did back in 2000....

Same Game, Different UEFA-Themed Skin Another year rolls round and with it, another obligatory annual Fifa release. While many lament Fifa for its lack of innovation and significant gameplay changes each year, the wildly popular football sim continuously tops charts across the world and rakes in an obscene amount of revenue for EA. Step forward Fifa 19 which promises significant gameplay changes, a survival mode, improved physics and licensed UEFA cup competitions to name a few....
