Each week Yahoo Canada will break down newly released TV shows and movies, recommending what to watch next, and what you may want to skip: Sinners — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sinners is a product of the incredible collaboration between Ryan Coogler, who wrote and directed the movie, and the film's star Michael B. Jordan, but Autumn Durald Arkapaw's impressive cinematography is something to certainly celebrate. She has also made history as the first woman to shoot in 15-perf IMAX 65mm.
But aside from the history-making nature of the work, Durald Arkapaw creates so much texture to the Mississippi landscape of this film, alongside brilliant use of light and depth, to really amp up the thrill for the horror elements of the story. There are a lot of vampire films, but none quite like Sinners . It does feel particularly unique, and it's a movie that will be enjoyed by horror fans and those less interested in the genre, because of the captivating story and the brilliant music.
Where to watch Sinners: Now in theatres Boarders, Season 2 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After the first season of Boarders was met with rave reviews from both critics and audiences, the big questions was whether the show's creator, Daniel Lawrence Taylor, could sustain that momentum. And Season 2 doesn't disappoint. With our main characters Jaheim (Josh Tedeku), Leah (Jodie Campbell), Omar (Myles Kamwendo) Femi (Aruna Jalloh) and Toby (Sekou Diaby) now having experienced the world of St.
Gilbert’s, we're able to dive deeper into their lives, both at school and with their families at home, particularly for Jaheim. While we've upped the emotional stakes in Season 2, Lawrence Taylor also taps into a lot of fun with Omar's exploration of the secret society, the Raisinettes. And that's where the strength of the series really lies.
Blending tones brilliantly to make this world feel authentic, and not shying away from also making it playful. Where to watch Boarders: Tubi The Narrow Road to the Deep North — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Featuring Jacob Elordi at his best, in The Narrow Road to the Deep North the actor gives us his most intense and moving performance to date. Adapted from Richard Flanagan's novel, the difficulty with many war-related shows or movies is how to tell a story about war that feels different from everything else we've seen before.
In this case, The Narrow Road to the Deep North attempts to do so through the complexity in the relationships and focusing on the psychological impact on soldiers. The five-part series doesn't shy away from the more gruesome elements of warfare, all leading to a gripping story to watch unfold. Where to watch The Narrow Road to the Deep North: Prime Video Ransom Canyon — ⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're a fan of Virgin River or Sullivan's Crossing , the new show Ransom Canyon should be right up your alley.
Think of it as the Yellowstone for people who are specifically fans of romance dramas. Ransom Canyon packs an emotional punch at the beginning of the season for Josh Duhamel's character Staten Kirkland, with him still grieving the death of his wife when he loses his son just one year later. But much of the rest of the season is about this intriguing love triangle with Minka Kelly's Quinn O'Grady.
The show also leans into its multi-generational elements, from teens to seniors there is more than enough drama to go around, which means it will be a hit for multiple members of your family. Is it the most revolutionary show you're going to watch? No. But it's one of those easy to watch shows you can put, get cozy under a blanket, take out a pint of ice cream and just chill.
Where to watch Ransom Canyon: Netflix.
