There’s been a lot of good found-footage films coming out recently, such as Tahoe Joe 2 and Woods Witch. Now there’s The Glenarma Tapes, an Irish film that begins by telling us that seven people went missing in the woods around Glenarma one night in 2020. One was later found near death and in a coma. Two years later, the police found the footage we’re about to see…
The footage starts innocently enough, as we watch Gordy (Warren McCook; Hope Street) go through his day as a student at Mid Ulster College of Art. His friend Jimmy is making a day-in-the-life type film for his class project. He’s certainly an interesting subject, going from making insightful comments about Romeo and Juliet to...

A group of teens wander into the woods, never to be found again in Irish found footage freakout The Glenarma Tapes. A new trailer teases some of the horrors ahead for the ill-fated bunch.
Dark Sky Films releases The Glenarma Tapes on VOD and Digital on April 2, 2024.
Watch the new trailer below.
The film’s official synopsis: “In Spring 2020 five students and two faculty members from the Mid Ulster College of Art went missing in a forest on the north coast of Ireland. What happened on the day they disappeared has remained a mystery – until now. Over two years after the disappearance, a police operation on a house outside Belfast uncovered footage of the students’ final movements, as their journey into the forest saw them bear witness to something they should never have seen. The Glenarma Tapes present that footage to the public for the first time.”

To combat the ominous atmosphere of the Ides of March, Netflix has another Lindsay Lohan film, “Irish Wish,” which is now streaming. The follow-up to “Falling for Christmas” in Lohan’s deal with the streamer to make two films, “Irish Wish” focuses on love, luck and a little bit of magic in the rom-com that arrives right before Saint Patrick’s Day.
Lohan portrays a smart book editor, except when it comes to matters of her heart. It takes a wish granted by a mystical woman out in the beautiful Irish countryside to get Maddie to realize that what she hopes and dreams for might not be what she wants or should want in life.
Featuring music from Lohan’s younger sister, Aliana, and a guest appearance from her brother, Dokota, the cast is stacked with other familiar faces as well. We’ve rounded up the “Irish Wish” cast and...

An Irish coffee is made with whisky and cream. An Irish goodbye is when someone leaves a gathering unnoticed. The Irish stew mixes root vegetables with either lamb or mutton. With her latest Netflix romance, director Janeen Damian aims to add yet another concept to popular notions of Irishness: the Irish wish. Now, will it catch? Unlikely.
The titular wish in Irish Wish is made by Maddie (Lindsay Lohan), an American book editor besotted with Paul Kennedy (Alexander Vlahos), a pompous Irish writer whose latest book became a worldwide success, thanks to Maddie’s uncredited penmanship. Because such love stories rarely go to plan, just as Maddie is about to profess her feelings, Paul locks eyes with the editor’s bubbly childhood best friend Emma (Elizabeth Tan), and sparks fly.

Irish Wish marks Lindsay Lohan’s second romantic comedy with Netflix. Signed to a multi-picture deal, she’ll have at least one more, Our Little Secret, expected later this year. The first film, Falling For Christmas, had some charm simply for being set during Christmas. But it played it so safe. It didn’t take any chances, and seemed hesitant to go for anything fun. Unfortunately, Irish Wish closely follows suit.
Irish Wish Plot
Lohan plays Maddie, an book editor. She has recently finished working on a book with charming author Paul Kennedy (Alexander Vlahos). Over their time working together, Maddie has fallen in love with Paul, but has not been able to muster the courage to tell him. On the night of the book release, she decides to go for it. But before she can, Paul meets and hits it off with Maddie’s friend Emma (Elizabeth Tan). It...

Lindsay Lohan is back, this time with a lukewarm romantic drama that is reminiscent of many films of the genre from thirty years ago. Irish Wish is yet another film about a man who meets a woman, this time set in the scenic country of Ireland. Irish Wish is an hour and a half long and takes the audience through the cliched route every romantic film follows, and this article will attempt to navigate the story of Maddie and James and how they find their way back to each other.

What Was The Maddie-Paul Relationship Like?

Maddie not only edited his book but practically wrote it for him without expecting anything in return. Maddie was in love with him, information she had shared only with her mother.

The season of love and romance has gone, and the summer has kicked in in full form. It is time for summer blockbusters to hit the theaters as audiences gear up for holidays and vacations. It does not make sense to release a cliched romantic comedy at this point when no one is interested in watching another story of a man and woman meeting and falling in love. Irish Wish, directed by Janeen Damian, is a Netflix original film that was released on March 15, 2024.
This one-hour and thirty-minute film is about Madeline ‘Maddy’ Kelly, who works as a book editor and is in love with her friend and author Paul Kennedy. Unbeknownst to anyone, Maddy is the ghostwriter who has written, molded, and polished Paul’s latest book, and Paul is the one taking credit for its success.
Maddy couldn’t see anything wrong in this arrangement because of her undying love for him.

Be careful what you wish for, especially when you’re in Ireland.
Lindsay Lohan’s new Netflix rom-com suggests what could happen in the official trailer released Tuesday. Set to “Breathless” by The Corrs, the Netflix feature promises a love triangle and switcheroo along the lines of “Freaky Friday” without the body-swapping.
Lohan’s Maddie reveals to a stranger on the bus that she’s in Ireland for a wedding — not her own, but her best friend’s. The thing is, her best friend Emma (Elizabeth Tan) is engaged to Maddie’s longtime love Paul Kennedy (Alexander Vlahos).
“I can’t help but think that things would be different if I had told Paul how I felt,” Maddie tells her mom over FaceTime while sitting on a beautiful Irish hillside. When her mom (Jane Seymour) tells her she needs to start speaking up for herself, she remarks, “It’s too late now.

Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells’s debut feature Aftersun leads the nominations for this year’s British Independent Film Awards with a sweeping 16 nods, including Best Director and Best film.
The film’s impressive nominations haul includes Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Debut Director (the Douglas Hickox Award) and Best Debut Screenwriter nods for Wells and a Best Joint Lead Performance nomination for stars Paul Mescal and newcomer Frankie Corio, who received a Breakthrough Performance nomination. The Barry Jenkins-produced pic is also up for Best British Independent Film and racked up a further nine craft nominations, including Best Casting and Cinematography.
Inspired by, but not based on, Wells’s experiences as the child of young parents, the poignant ’90s-set film explores a father and daughter’s complex relationship against the backdrop of a simmering holiday the pair have taken to a resort in Turkey.
Georgia Oakley’s debut film Blue Jean trails behind with 13 nominations.

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episode 10.
A civil war fought mostly between members of the same family can get confusing rather quickly. Such is the case on House of the Dragon where members of the titular house of the dragon frequently share not only surnames but first names as well.
The Dance of the Dragons, which officially kicked off in the season 1 finale, pits Daemon against Aemond, Erryk against Arryk, and even Aegon against Aegon. Thankfully, House of the Dragon comes with a built in color system to help keep things straight.
Ever since the events of episode 5, when a young Alicent Hightower arrived late to Rhaenyra’s wedding wearing a bold dress with the brilliant green of House Hightower, her “faction” at court has been known as “The Greens.” Given that Rhaenyra is almost always clad in her house’s primary black color, her side...

She’s been called “the Indiana Jones of food,” “the Mick Jagger of Mexico,” and “the grand dame of Mexican cooking.” Observing the fervor with which chef Diana Kennedy barrels down the dirt roads of Michoacán in her white Nissan pickup truck, it’s not hard to see why the sprightly 95-year-old has earned such esteemed admirers, from the likes of Alice Waters, José Andrés, and Craig Claiborne. Kennedy’s no-nonsense attitude, passionate takes on everything from sex to sustainability, and encyclopedic knowledge of regional Mexican cuisine make her a perfect documentary subject. With director Elizabeth Carroll as skilled sous-chef, “Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy”
Borrowing its title from one of her nine classic cookbooks, “Nothing Fancy” presents Kennedy’s life at an engaging but thorough pace. Born in England in 1923, Kennedy moved to Mexico in 1957 after meeting her late husband, New York Times Latin America correspondent Paul Kennedy, during a military coup in Port-au-Prince.
