Netflix has quietly gone from being an affordable alternative to cable to one of the most expensive streaming subscriptions around, rising from about $8 in 2014 to $25 a month now for the Premium plan. Added to that, its crackdown on password sharing has made the platform feel even more restrictive, given that I can’t exactly save by splitting the cost of the plan with family and friends living elsewhere in the country. So, like a lot of other subscribers, I found myself wondering if Netflix is still worth it. I mean, there are so many cheaper alternatives to Netflix…

While real life is often stranger than fiction, sometimes fiction can be a window into the real world. I’m not just talking about themes or stories that pull from reality and hold up a sobering mirror to society. Sometimes an older movie can have its own ideas of what the future might look like, and let’s face it, it’s often much sillier or boring than reality would prove to be. Sometimes, though, fiction can get it right in the most eye-raising of ways. At times, it feels like certain movies and shows from the past had an oracle right out…

You don’t need a massive budget to make a compelling film. I would argue that sometimes a larger budget can actually be a hindrance to the creative process, because it can lead to more studio meddling in the end product. It’s probably why I prefer short horror films to most mainstream feature-length films in the same genre, because you can really see what directors are capable of with limited time and often a shoestring budget. With that logic in mind, I dove into the low-budget side of science fiction, and I found some truly genre-defining gems. Some of them were…

Our pick of the best gifts for travellers for Christmas 2025 Yaber T1 Pro Mini Portable Cinema Projector Looking sleeker than any portable projector should, the T1 Pro Mini can project up to a 120in screen, in an instant. The 180-degree swivelling mechanism unlocks the wondrous world of hassle-free ceiling projection too – perfect for lazy movie nights and/or nursing a post-travel hangover in bed. TurboSonic acoustic tech also transforms what should be tinny portable audio into impressive 8W sound, courtesy of a clever vented duct design that synchronises forward and rear sound waves. And at a paltry 1.25kg, it’s…

In case you missed it, Amazon Prime Big Deals Days took place this week. Yes, another sale. It’s really just Amazon’s own version of Black Friday but a month early and follows up on the summer’s Prime Day. It started earlier on Tuesday and finished last night. Didn’t manage to snag the devices you wanted? Don’t worry! I’ve been looking at Amazon deals all week long, and have found that some incredible offers are still live. As the name suggests, you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals. You can score money off items including electronics, video…

I’ll admit that I’m rather picky when it comes to anime, because it’s not really a medium I enjoy on a regular basis. Not that it’s inherently bad, by any means, but I find it difficult to stay engaged with the stories that anime tends to gravitate toward. Which is precisely why I go for anime that has a bit of a shorter lifespan than your typical One Piece-like show. This strategy has worked out pretty well, too, as I’ve discovered some truly outstanding, high-concept anime that surprised me in ways I didn’t think possible. I doubt that would be…

When it comes to wireless earbuds, it often feels like you have to choose between great sound, reliable noise cancellation, or long battery life. The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 aim to end that debate by offering all three—wrapped up in a stylish, comfortable design that’s built for everyday use. I mean, I don’t really go anywhere without earbuds these days. I’m always amazed when I see people on the bus, train, or a flight without some sort of earbuds. But the cost can often deter people from picking up a quality pair, which is why you should move swiftly to…

We present a varied selection,…

TAG Heuer has been making some of the best smartwatches for almost a decade now, but the new Connected Calibre E5 feels like the moment it’s finally found its own rhythm. I briefly tried both versions at a TAG Heuer event in London, the larger 45mm model and the new 40mm version, and within minutes, it was clear: this isn’t just another Wear OS smartwatch in a luxury suit. It’s TAG Heuer taking full control of its destiny. And that’s because, for the first time, the Connected has dropped Google’s Wear OS in favour of the brand’s own software –…

Sometimes I watch an episode of television and can’t help but think, “That really would have made a great stand-alone movie.” It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened. The original Final Destination was originally a spec script for The X-Files that never ended up being made, and look how that franchise is currently thriving. And since we’re in the midst of Halloween season, I’ve been watching a lot of scary television and horror movies that just get scarier the longer I think about them. What I’ve discovered is that there are a lot of condensed episodes of…
