In the Realm of the Senses: Pretentious Pornography? Or Something More

Overall it may fall short, but In the Realm of the Senses is a beautiful-looking film with a calming yet haunting score that touches on some urgent themes.

MY EROTIC BODY: Breaking The Stigma Around Pole Dancing

My Erotic Body shows that a woman’s true erotic self is not defined by a specific body type, age, or what society deems as attractive.

BOOK CLUB: Gather The Ladies, There's (Some) Fun To Be Had
BOOK CLUB: Gather The Ladies, There’s (Some) Fun To Be Had

Uniting four legends of the screen for a shot of summer silver screen cinema, Book Club is every bit as formulaic, disposable and harmless as you would expect.

FIFTY SHADES FREED: Third Time's the Charm
FIFTY SHADES FREED: Third Time’s The Charm

While nowhere near the best picture of 2018, Fifty Shades Freed does prove itself to be a tantalizing, sultry, and seductive conclusion to the saga of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey that is sure to satisfy fans.

A BIGGER SPLASH: Trouble in Paradise

A remake of the 1969 Italian-French film La Piscine and partly inspired by David Hockney’s ‘Swimming Pool’ painting, A Bigger Splash is the fourth feature film from Luca Guadagnino, and has already made significant waves with critics and audiences alike (sorry for the absolutely appropriate pun).

No phones, no work, no interruptions.
