    Canary Black
    Prime Video, 24 October

    Kate Beckinsale stars as a fierce CIA agent in ‘Canary Black’, whose life takes a turn when her husband is kidnapped. To save him, she must steal a secret document from the CIA’s hard drive, putting her career and morals on the line. The film promises action-packed thrills with a stellar supporting cast, including Rupert Friend, Saffron Burrows, Goran Kostić, and one of Ray Stevenson’s final performances. Directed by Pierre Morel (Taken) and shot by renowned French cinematographer Thierry Arbogast, ‘Canary Black’ looks like an intense, stylish ride. If you’re missing Atomic Blonde, this one’s worth the watch!

    Don’t Move
    Netflix, 25 October

    ‘Don’t Move’ tells the chilling story of Iris (Kelsey Asbille), a grieving woman who retreats to a remote forest, only to be injected with a paralytic agent by a relentless killer. As the toxin gradually takes control of her body, Iris must fight to survive, running, hiding, and battling her attacker before her entire nervous system shuts down. Directed by Brian Netto and Adam Schindler, and produced by horror legend Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead), ‘Don’t Move’ delivers both edge-of-your-seat thrills and surprising emotional depth. The film also stars Finn Wittrock, Moray Treadwell, and Daniel Francis, making it a must-watch for horror fans.

    Territory
    Netflix, 24 October

    ‘Territory’ is an explosive drama set in the harsh, unforgiving Australian outback. When the world’s largest cattle station, Marianne Station, is left without a clear successor, a fierce power struggle ensues. The Lawson family, once rulers of this vast empire, are on the brink of being torn apart by generational clashes and betrayal. As their dynasty weakens, rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, Indigenous elders, and billionaire miners swoop in, each vying for control of the billion-dollar industry. ‘Territory’ promises high-stakes drama with its mix of family turmoil, power struggles, and the perilous beauty of the outback, making it a juicy, must-watch series.

    HBO hasn’t revealed much about the plot of the third and final season of ‘Somebody Somewhere,’ but honestly, it doesn’t need to. This charming dramedy is all about the vibes, not the storyline. Star and creator Bridget Everett, along with co-star Jeff Hiller, could read the terms and conditions of the Max app and we’d still be here for it. If you haven’t watched it yet, bless your heart—start bingeing immediately. It’s a heartwarming and hilarious blend that’ll make you laugh, cry, and feel like somebody somewhere just gave you a big, comforting hug.

    SETTLE IN WITH A CUP OF TEA AND READ THIS:

    Absolution: A Southern Reach Novel
    Jeff VanderMeer

    The surprise fourth volume in Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach series, titled ‘Absolution,’ offers the final word on one of the most provocative and celebrated speculative fiction series of our time. The original Southern Reach trilogy, published a decade ago, became an instant sensation, praised by critics and readers alike, and adapted into the cult classic film Annihilation. Yet for VanderMeer, there was always unfinished business with Area X.

    ‘Absolution’ promises to explore unanswered mysteries, delving into the origins of Area X and the world beyond Acceptance. Structured in three parts, each detailing a new expedition, the novel brings long-awaited answers alongside more profound questions and surprises. It’s a brilliant, unsettling conclusion to a series that has sold over a million copies and earned its place in twenty-first-century literary canon.

    CRANK UP THE VOLUME FOR THIS:

    The Great Impersonator
    Halsey

    ‘The Great Impersonator’ is Halsey’s fifth album, and marks their first record with Columbia Records after departing Capitol in 2023. The album focuses on exploring Halsey’s authenticity and relationships and her interpretation of their resonance with various contexts.

    Halsey said, ‘Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Behold the marvel of a century! Witness the uncanny ability of a woman who can become anyone, anything your heart desires. Friend, lover, foe. She transforms before your very eyes, her voice and visage a reflection of your deepest dreams and darkest fears but beware, for she is not just a master of disguise but a spirit of transformation, slipping between the cracks of reality. One moment a beloved friend, the next a shadowy nightmare. She is the queen of the uncanny, the mistress of metamorphosis. Beware of the great impersonator!’

    The single rollout began with ‘The End,’ an acoustic ballad about their personal struggles. This was followed by their rendition of Britney Spears’ ‘Lucky,’ and other singles like ‘Lonely is the Muse,’ ‘Ego,’ and ‘I Never Loved You’ in the lead-up to the full album release.
