This is basically the plotline of Robert Zemeckis’ 1990 movie Ghost, the box office smash that caused many a moviegoer to break down in tears before taking up pottery classes. It’s also the plotline of The In Between, a new romantic movie on Netflix. Does it deserve a spot on your watchlist? Or should you bury it away forever? Well, that depends. If you love nothing more than an evening in, sat on your sofa with a box of hankies by your side and a weepie on the TV, you might get some pleasure from this....

Coydog Episode 4 of The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey starts with Ptolemy opening up the floorboards to check what’s underneath. With Robyn’s help, the pair find a box. Inside happens to be 2 of a total set of 14 stolen gold pieces. There are only 2 left, which Ptolemy refers to doubloons. So where is the rest of it? Well, Ptolemy has been cashing in the coins for money, partly to treat Sensia but also to help “our people”....

Episode Guide And the Crown of King Arthur And the Sword in the Stone And the Horns of a Dilemma And Santa’s Midnight Run And the Apple of Discord And the Fables of Doom And the Rule of Three And the Heart of Darkness And the City of Light And the Loom of Fate Full of cheesy dialogue, cheap set design and a fantastical plot line, you’d be forgiven for writing off The Librarians as a cheap fantasy show....

The Man Who Fell to Earth Episode 8 The Man Who Fell to Earth is the latest reboot, complete with a literal mystery box and some intriguing ideas. The main story revolves around an alien who arrives on Earth with a mission – find the one woman who can help save his species. Adopting the name of Faraday, he teams up with Justin Falls to try and save his planet. Only, in order to do so they need to save Earth first....

A high concept of class with humor served on the side Dissing the rich has become a thing in films. This new consciousness among modern filmmakers has been met with great reception. Triangle of Sadness, Parasite, and Glass Onion are some of the most successful instances of recent times. For obvious reasons of numerical superiority, none of these features have done badly. A coincidence is that all of them are great movies and Mark Mylod’s avant garde, darkly humorous, and insanely serious The Menu perhaps tops the list....

When One Becomes Two The Misfit Of Demon King Academy returns with a touching episode focusing on Misha and Sasha’s true lineage. With deeper characterisation for all involved, the early trappings of this anime look to be peeling away in favour of something far more promising. The episode begins with Sasha rushing off with the staff while Anos and Misha discuss what’s going to happen next. Misha was originally Sasha but because Sasha destroyed her Zecht, then that means the two parties can be no more....

Well-paced, peppered with explicit content and armed with an eclectic soundtrack, Netflix’s latest drama does a great job depicting the trials and tribulations of this interesting and enigmatic character....

The Naked Director Season 2 Plot Synopsis Season 2 starts in 1990. Muranishi is at the top of his game, conducting TV interviews and doing so with an unrivaled swagger that makes all the women around him swoon. However, when he learns about satellite TV and the lucrative prospects this could bring with it, Muranishi is blinded by a much larger vision. Despite Kawada and Mr Honda’s concerns, Muranishi dives head-first into this venture....

“Did you bring them?”, Dan asks. “No”, replies Harold. The two are talking about guns that Dan will provide to Afghan revolutionaries fighting for Hamzad. His conviction is ironclad and hence, he wants to provide all the help he can. Harold sounds off a warning of coming after Dan – on the government’s behest – if this transaction’s knowledge becomes public. In the present, Harold inspects the site where Dan left the bodies....

There’s No Such Thing As Vampires Last week’s episode took us on a bit of a cat and mouse chase as the authorities continued to hunt Brad and Amy on the road. After their getaway came to a grinding halt during the final few minutes of the episode, we return to The Passage for a much more contained and driven episode. With a rising tension and Fanning’s power beginning to take shape, this vampire drama feels like it’s starting to get into its stride now....

Choices & Consequences After last week’s dramatic episode, it was almost inevitable that The Passage would slow down a little to catch its breath. With more background and characterisation delivered through some slick editing and well worked flashbacks, The Passage looks set for a dramatic finish to its first season. We begin with a look at Brad and Lila who find themselves tied up and bundled in the boot of a car en-route to destination unknown....

Girl Power Episode 11 of Penthouse Season 2 begins with Secretary Jo rushing into Dan-Tae’s apartment. He has pictures of Ae-Gyo and Logan together. Just to back this up, Ae-Gyo rings and tells Dan-Tae as much, urging him to head over. Unfortunately Dan-Tae shows with his goons and immediately takes Logan to the warehouse. While he’s taken away, Ae-Gyo rings Mr Hong and announces that she is, in fact, Su-Ryeon. It turns out Su-Ryeon and Logan expected Dan-Tae would play this card all along....

But this virtual game starts to become all too real. It might just be the future itself… Expect a thrilling story packed with action, mystery and sinister looking robots. If you’re excited to start watching this show, you’re in the right place. Here is everything you need to know about The Peripheral Episode 3, including its release date, time and where you can watch it. Where Can I Watch The Peripheral Season 1?...

A horror hodgepodge of cliches The Privilege feels like a whole bunch of horror cliches and tropes thrown together and blended up into a German flick that almost resembles something serviceable. Between exorcisms, cults, malevolent spirits, seances, kooky mediums and hallucinations is a film crying out for a few more rewrites. Unfortunately the result we end up with is an underwhelming run-of-the-mill story with under-cooked characters and a distinct lack of horror....

Adjournment Episode 6 of The Queen’s Gambit begins with another lesson for Beth as Alice tells her how to survive in the future. This inevitably sees us cut forward to Beth and Benny driving together, playing mental chess and practicing their Russian on their way up to New York. Eventually they make it to their run-down accommodation but it’s certainly far cry from what Beth has been used to at the Wheatley household....

Episode Guide New Breed of Killer Killing Grounds The Hammer Comes Down In 2003, South Korea was rocked to its core, courtesy of a gruesome and violent serial murderer. Targeting wealthy victims around the city, this murderer bludgeoned his victims with a hammer and staged the scene to make it look like a homicide/robbery. If that wasn’t bad enough, in 2004 he turned his attention to sex workers and went on a big killing spree until his subsequent arrest....

The fundamental philosophy of their intentions is disclosed: they want to show everything, and let the viewers decide what’s the truth. An awkward family Christmas dinner two weeks after Kathleen’s death in December 2001 reveals two things. First, a phone call about an “incident” in Germany by Auntie Blair. Secondly, Michael’s tension over Candace and Lori’s loyalties. We then jump to two months before her death to an event planned for Michael’s campaign....

Washed Up Survivors The Stranded gets off to a mediocre start here and with little characterisation, begins by throwing us right into the deep end with the tsunami. From there, we jump forward with little explanation as to how these kids survived, which ultimately ends up as a recurring theme in this series. Despite some nice visuals, The Stranded’s first episode is surprisingly slow paced too, ending with a big cliffhanger to keep you coming back for more....

The Cave Episode 6 of The Stranded begins and apparently a week has passed, according to Kraam, while Nahm experiences some flashes to her past. Desperate for help, she visits Lin who simply shuts the door on her and refuses to engage. In the jungle, Arisa is told she’s been missing for two weeks although for her it’s only been one day. However, it also brings up a very real question about just how she survived without food or water for a whole day in that ravine....

The Strange House Plot Synopsis The story begins like many other haunted house horrors. A family move to a quaint little village in the South of Austria. The house they’ve moved into is unfortunately cursed, at least if the locals are to be believed. Forced into packing up his old life and starting anew, 16 year old Hendrik and his brother Eddi have a tough time of it. Things take a turn for the worst though when Eddi starts acting strangely and begins sleepwalking....
