After a two-year hiatus since the Season 2 finale, “The Sex Lives of College Girls” returns for its third season. Initially, everything seems routine as the four principal characters come together again and embark on their sophomore year at college. Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet) and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott), who had a falling out over a summer due to Kimberly lying about kissing Whitney’s ex, have patched things up. Bela (Amrit Kaur) is on a quest for a new mission in life and steps into the role of residence director for the freshman dorm after discovering she doesn’t meet the requirements to transfer. Lastly, Leighton (Reneé Rapp) remains involved with Alicia (Midori Francis) in their relationship.

Every time I watch a Fast and Furious movie, I often wonder where they got such outrageous ideas, and this was particularly true when I first saw The Fate of the Furious with its jaw-dropping submarine battle. Interestingly, screenwriter Chris Morgan has shared how he came up with that scene.

Preparing for the upcoming 2025 films to appear on both big and small screens, I’ve noticed that some of my own franchise passions are resurfacing from the past. Covering the latest teaser for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning serves as a case in point, as the initial glimpse at Tom Cruise’s next action-packed movie seems to hint at something more profound than just an amusing Easter egg.

The 1990s was an era that produced several blockbusters that have stood the test of time. Titles like Titanic, Jurassic Park, and The Lion King are still widely recognized, with consistently high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, a well-known movie review aggregator. A “fresh” rating on this platform often encourages viewers to spend their time watching the film, while a “rotten” score tends to deter viewers.

In the wake of a heartrending incident during a lakeside getaway, the close-knit sisters and their families struggle to adapt to changed circumstances. The Lithuanian film, titled “Drowning Dry“, nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, employs an unconventional narrative structure to portray a gripping tale of shock, sorrow, and the challenges of readjusting to life after a catastrophic event alters everything. Director Laurynas Bareiša takes his time to reveal the story, with the enigma surrounding the events casting a somber shadow over the plot. This deliberate pacing may test some viewers’ endurance, but Bareiša refrains from providing easy answers. Instead, the film underscores that uncertainty and gradual comprehension are integral components of healing after experiencing such a tragedy.
