The Best You’ll Feel All Day With the recent news of its renewal, Starz Original Hightown returns this week for another episode that does little to change the earlier opinions of this show. If anything, it actually reinforces those feelings, with unlikable protagonists fronting this series and an investigation that leaves little to the imagination. There’s no mystery here and while the accurate portrayal of flawed characters is welcome, it ultimately results in nothing with a plot that doesn’t do an awful lot to inject excitement into proceedings....

A sad but hopeful drama On the 29th of February, 2013, 15-year old Jadin Bell took his own life after being mercifully bullied for being gay. It’s an all-too-familiar story as, over the years, many LGBTQ young people have killed themselves after being subjected to homophobic physical and verbal attacks. In many cases, their schools failed to protect them from the bullying they endured and, according to the film at least, this was the case for Jadin who didn’t get the help he needed when he was threatened by some of his classmates....
Welcome To The Jungle Based on a true story, Jungle is a psychologically thrilling survival film that does a great job depicting main character Yossi (Daniel Radcliffe) struggling alone in the jungle. The other 3 characters that join him are lacklustre and never given the time to gel making the beginning of the expedition awkward and disjointed to some degree. Thankfully, these scenes don’t go on for too long and led by Radcliffe’s incredible performance, Jungle is an enjoyable flick that does a great job showing the harshness of being lost in the jungle....

Despite a few laughs dotted throughout, Keeping Up With The Joneses doesn’t bring anything new to the comedy genre, it feels well worn and retreads cliches told better in other spy/comedy films. Relying on its stars to elevate the film, beyond a few stand out moments the film is highly forgettable and unfortunately stays too close to its comfort zone to try anything outside the box. The story follows the Gaffneys, an average suburban couple who’s lives are changed when a new couple, the Joneses, move in next door....
