Though Hallmark churns out more Christmas movies annually than Netflix, the streaming giant didn’t skimp on star power this holiday season. Actors like Lacey Chabert, Christina Milian, and Chad Michael Murray made their way to Netflix, with Murray even showing off his abs in “The Merry Gentlemen.” As a devoted Christmas movie enthusiast, I watched them all, but Lindsay Lohan’s newest holiday production, “Our Little Secret,” was the standout for me, securing the title of Netflix’s best holiday movie of 2024 — in my humble opinion.

As a die-hard “Survivor” fan, let me express my fascination over the thrilling gameplay moments in Season 47 so far. The competition has seen numerous players eliminated, yet the drama continues as we approach next week’s exciting double finale. Currently, only six players remain: Sam, Genevieve, Andy, Teeny, Sue, and Rachel. With plenty of idols and advantages still up for grabs, the game is far from over.

The critically praised movie “Conclave,” helmed by Edward Berger of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” is set to stream soon on Peacock. In this film, Ralph Fiennes portrays Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, who delves into hidden secrets and scandals surrounding each papal candidate, revelations that could significantly impact the Catholic Church. Joining Fiennes in the cast are Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini, Sergio Castellitto, and Lucian Msamati.

George R.R. Martin, known for his epic fantasy series titled “A Song of Ice and Fire“, which was transformed into both “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon”, seems to have some disagreements with Hollywood over the lack of fidelity in book adaptations.
