Wuthering Heights (2026) review

 

The latest movie from Director Emerald Fennell comes in the form of Wuthering Heights a movie that has been adapted from it's well known book on countless occasions with many more in the future no doubt. This version of Wuthering Heights however feels like Fennell's very own with her signature flair for visuals that are both other wordly and striking all present throughout. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi star as once best friends before becoming strangers to ultimately becoming estranged lovers. It's a simple story of lust, love and tragedy but it is elevated here not just by it's visuals but by the performances by the two leads who ooze sexual chemistry and passion each moment they're on screen together. 

Having been a fan of Emerald Fennell ever since Promising Young Woman in 2020 I wasn't too fond of Saltburn which was her last movie but I really did love pretty much everything about Wuthering Heights. Now whether it's true to the book I'm not sure as I've never actually read through it but I could feel the pain of the characters, I could feel their suffering and love for one another all culminating in a final act that is just heartbreaking and emotional. 


Wuthering Heights is pretty much the ideal Valentines Day movie as it's full of huge proclaims of love, stunning costumes and visuals and a storyline that while been done before somehow feels real and authentic enough to make this version of the story stand on it's own two feet. Big fields of mist surrounded by moors fill the screen time after time a stark contrast to what lays inside the hearts of the characters. Wuthering Heights is a near flawless experience elevated by exceptional performances throughout. 

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
