Since the arrival of horror films, serial killers have become absolute icons of the silver screen. There are plenty of movies with killers portrayed stereotypically as powerful, young, almost indestructible-looking men. But what about women killers?

The Good The Bad This movie works for two reason, Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman. What I think is a shame is that because of the initial theatrical trailers for Bewitched, I purposely didn’t see this movie. It just looked awful.

Bridgerton season 2 came, we saw, and it conquered our hearts once again. Despite the lack of as many steamy scenes as we got between the Duke (Simon Basset played by Regé-Jean Page) and Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) in the first season, the palpable chemistry and slow-burn romance between Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) carried the second installment of the show. In addition to another love story, we also got to see the female characters of the ton continue to reclaim their agency in an otherwise patriarchal world throughout the season....

But some films are different; they flip the script entirely.
