  • Alicia Silverstone Makes Her Sexy Thriller Comeback with ‘Pretty Thing’

    Alicia Silverstone Makes Her Sexy Thriller Comeback with ‘Pretty Thing’

    Every love story has risks — but some are more dangerous than others. In Pretty Thing, Alicia Silverstone steps into a role that twists desire into something deadly. Coming soon to Lionsgate Play, the film is a slow-burn erotic thriller that shows how quickly passion can spiral into obsession.

    Pretty Thing 2

    Silverstone plays Sophie, a high-level pharmaceutical executive who has built her life on discipline and control. Her marriage is muted, her work consumes her time, and she rarely lets people in. When she begins an affair with Elliot (Karl Glusman), a younger man who seems eager to please, it feels like a decision she can manage. 

    But what starts as an indulgence soon unravels into something darker, and her lover’s fascination morphs into a dangerous obsession. Soon, Sophie finds herself fighting to reclaim her life, her freedom, and her very sense of control.

    Written by Jack Donnelly and directed by Justin Kelly, Pretty Thing doesn’t lean on explosive twists or genre clichés. Instead, it builds an atmosphere that keeps viewers on edge, slowly tightening its grip until every glance and gesture feels like a threat.

    For Silverstone, the film also marks a full-circle moment. Her very first movie, The Crush (1993), also told a story of obsession, but with the roles reversed. Back then, she played the teenage stalker; in Pretty Thing, she is the one being stalked. The contrast highlights both how far she’s come and the new weight she brings to this kind of story.

    On returning to the stalker thriller genre, Alicia Silverstone told UPI, “It’s fun to revisit it. They’re both in some kind of addictive game. She wants this to stop and he wants it to keep going. They’re both equally determined… It’s an erotic thriller and it starts like a romance. You think, ‘Oh, this is like this really beautiful, romantic story’ and then it takes a turn. I love that about it.”

    Experience the tension, the passion, and the danger when Pretty Thing starts streaming exclusively on Lionsgate Play on September 5 via PLDT Home, Smart and Cignal.

  • Son of a Critch: A Heartfelt & Hilarious Coming-of-Age Comedy on Lionsgate Play

    Son of a Critch: A Heartfelt & Hilarious Coming-of-Age Comedy on Lionsgate Play

    Ever wondered what happens when a young boy with an old soul takes on the wild ride of junior high in the 1980s? That’s the heart of Son of a Critch, the warm yet sharply comedic series that drops you right into the quirky world of growing up in Newfoundland. Coming to Lionsgate Play on 7th March, this semi-autobiographical gem, created by comedian Mark Critch and Tim McAuliffe, is packed with nostalgia, sharp wit and plenty of laughs. Critch narrates his own coming-of-age story, while also playing his father, giving you a hilarious, bittersweet look at his unforgettable childhood.

    Lionsgate Play Son of a Critch

    Adapted from Critch’s award-winning memoir, the show begins with young Mark (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) reluctantly stepping into junior high, a place brimming with challenges for an unconventional kid with a clever comedic mind. His mother Mary (Claire Rankin) tries to reassure him with her tough-love approach, while his older brother Mike Jr. (Colton Gobbo) and his no-nonsense grandfather (Malcolm McDowell) offer their own support.

    But Son of a Critch is not just about the trials and tribulations of growing up in a small town. It’s also about the universal themes of family, acceptance, and finding your place in the world with a comedy twist. The show beautifully captures the heartwarming moments between Mark and his family, as well as addressing more serious issues such as bullying and discrimination.

    With its clever writing, charming cast, and relatable coming-of-age story, Son of a Critch is sure to leave you feeling nostalgic for simpler times while providing plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. 

    On what it was like to create a semi-autobiographical show and playing his own father, Mark Critch told The Mary Sue, “It’s interesting because and fascinating to relive my own life from a new perspective. Like you’re writing it, then you’re in pre-production, then you’re actually filming it, and then a couple of times you kind of forget it’s about you in a way. I remember I was filming a scene once and they’re doing it and I thought, ‘Huh, something like this happened to me once.’ And I’m thinking, ‘What am I doing? No, this happened to me and that’s why this is happening.’ So that can be strange, but playing my dad on the show is interesting because it kind of forces me. I have these memories that I put in the show that are important enough that I put them in a show. And memory is a very personal thing. It can be a selfish thing.”

    Classic Detective, Modern Twists: Find All Seasons of ‘Sherlock’ on Lionsgate Play

    The game is afoot, and Sherlock has a new address! This February 21st, Lionsgate Play rolls out the red carpet for the world’s greatest detective – and trust us, you won’t want to miss it! 

    Join Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), and his steadfast partner, Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman), as they crack impossible cases and go head-to-head with London’s most formidable criminal masterminds. From decoding intricate puzzles to outwitting the dangerously unpredictable Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott), every episode delivers intrigue, suspense, and razor-sharp wit. 

    Lionsgate Play Sherlock

    Sharing his first memory of working on the series, lead actor, Benedict Cumberbatch said “Learning the lines for the audition, really. That was the first bit of work I ever did on it. And this is hard, but a lot of fun.”

    In an interview with Vogue, Benedict Cumberbatch opened up about his thoughts about Sherlock’s personality,“I thought he should be more – not stiff but like a guy who does a lot of yoga. It’s that strength where people look weak but their core is strong. He’s incredibly poised. Back straight. His head leans to the side.” He further added, “There’s this thing about him being very reserved and austere. I wanted him to be a bit more rock star. There is something almost boyish – a joy about him. I wanted him to smile. “

    Created by Doctor Who masterminds Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock reimagines the classic detective tales into 90-minute episodes that will keep you guessing until the end. From the chilling murder spree in “A Study in Pink” to the eerie mysteries of “The Hounds of Baskerville”, each case is a puzzle you won’t be able to resist.

    Sherlock’s modern reinvention of the classic detective series has earned multiple accolades, including Primetime Emmy Awards for Cumberbatch, Freeman, and Moffat, a BAFTA for Best Television Drama, and a Peabody Award, cementing its status as a TV phenomenon.

    Completing a well-loved legacy of 15 years filled with mind bending twists and captivating cases since its 2010 debut, all 4 seasons will now be available exclusively on Lionsgate Play for Philippines audiences. Get ready to dive back into the world of mystery, and genius – because you’re about to be Sher-locked!

    Don’t miss this chance to experience the brilliance of Sherlock! Catch all four seasons on Lionsgate Play on February 21.

  • Women Run the World in Globe-trotting Spy Action Flick ‘The 355’, premiering soon on Lionsgate Play

    Women Run the World in Globe-trotting Spy Action Flick ‘The 355’, premiering soon on Lionsgate Play

    What happens when four powerhouse actresses team up in an action-packed spy movie? You get The 355 – a star-studded thriller that delivers high-stakes suspense and heart-pounding action. The film follows a group of international agents who must put aside their rivalries to keep a top-secret weapon from falling into the wrong hands and triggering World War III.

    The 355 Stills 02

    CIA operative Mace (Jessica Chastain) is tasked to retrieve a top-secret weapon – a flash drive that can hack into any computer with a few keystrokes – and recruits the help of her colleague, retired British MI6 operative Khadijah Adiyeme (Lupita Nyong’o). The mission gets messier when DNI agent and psychologist Graciela Rivera (Penelope Cruz) and rival German BND agent Marie Schmidt (Diane Kruger) join the hunt, each wanting to claim the program drive for their respective agencies. But a group of four head-strong heroines clashing heads isn’t the end of their problems, they must work together to make sure the weapon doesn’t fall into the hands of international crime entrepreneurs. 

    The 355

    The 355 is an original action thriller conceptualized by Jessica Chastain herself and written by Simon Kinberg and Theresa Rebeck. Featuring some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, The 355 is sure to be an exhilarating ride for fans of high-octane espionage. In an interview with Screenrant, Jessica Chastain, who plays Mace and is also one of the film’s producers, talks about what excited her most in creating the movie, “Well, I like the idea that the actresses are all the bosses of the film. They’re the owners of the film. We raised the money on our own. We developed the script together, the characters together, we are the owners. It was made outside of a studio system, independently. We made it for a fraction of the cost of what a normal movie like this is made for. So, it’s exciting to me that the artists are now the owners of the work, and especially women. It’s exciting to me that the actresses are the ones in charge of the film.”

    The 355 2

    Director Simon Kinberg shared with CBR what drew him into directing the film, “I’m a huge James Bond fan and I love the spy genre in general. The first script I ever wrote was Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The 355 is a different kind of spy movie, but it is a love letter to spy movies. So, I was intrigued by the fact that it was a spy movie. I loved the idea of a female-ensemble spy movie. There are two things in there that are novel. One, there’s not a lot of female spy movies. But two, there are even fewer ensemble spy movies.”

    Buckle up for a thrilling ride when The 355 comes to Lionsgate Play on January 31, 2025.

  • Lionsgate Play Kicks Off the Year with Spies, Power, and Excitement

    Lionsgate Play Kicks Off the Year with Spies, Power, and Excitement

Whether you’re craving high-stakes action or gripping drama, this month’s second half lineup has it all – promising an unforgettable January.

    Lionsgate Play The 355

    The 355 

    When a top-secret weapon falls into the wrong hands, CIA wild card Mason “Mace” Brown (Jessica Chastain) teams up with three unlikely allies to save the world from chaos. Alongside the relentless German agent Marie (Diane Kruger), tech-savvy MI6 specialist Khadijah (Lupita Nyong’o), and the level-headed Colombian psychologist Graciela (Penélope Cruz), she engages in a pulse-pounding race across the globe — from the elegant streets of Paris to the bustling markets of Morocco and the high-stakes auction houses of Shanghai. But there’s a twist at every turn as a shadowy figure, Lin Mi Sheng (Fan Bingbing), seems always one step ahead, forcing the team to build a shaky trust that might secure the weapon or destroy them all.

    Lionsgate Play The Young Pope

    The Young Pope

    After a shocking rise to power, Lenny Belardo (Jude Law) becomes the first American pope, adopting the name Pius XIII. His unexpected election is seen as a calculated gamble by the College of Cardinals, but Lenny quickly proves to be anything but predictable. Aloof and enigmatic, he defies Vatican traditions, relying solely on Sister Mary (Diane Keaton), as his trusted confidante. While Sister Mary encourages him to connect with his billion-strong flock, the young pope remains distant, stirring tension and intrigue within the Holy See.

    Lionsgate Play The New Pope

    The New Pope 

    Looking for a follow-up? “The New Pope” picks up where “The Young Pope” left off, blending biting satire with gripping drama to peel back the gilded facade of the Vatican. When Sir John Brannox (John Malkovich), a refined and charismatic English aristocrat, rises to the papal throne as John Paul III, the Vatican is thrust into a new chapter of leadership.

    Lionsgate Play Madam

    Madam 

    When Mack Leigh (Rachel Griffiths) discovers her husband’s infidelity and is drowning in debt, she takes an unexpected and bold step to secure her family’s future — launching an ethical brothel. Madam follows Mack’s daring attempt to challenge societal norms, redefine the meaning of sex work, and tackle the stigma surrounding her unconventional business.

    With Lionsgate Play’s stellar January lineup, your screen time is about to skyrocket (in the best way possible). Don’t miss out on these fresh releases and subscribe today!

  • Fashion Trailblazers who Stole the Spotlight on the 2025 Golden Globes Red Carpet 

    Fashion Trailblazers who Stole the Spotlight on the 2025 Golden Globes Red Carpet 

    The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet was everything we hoped it would be and more. From debuting daring hairdos to serving old Hollywood glam, the red carpet made sure our jaws stayed glued to the floor. Whether you were team sparkles or dramatic silhouettes, the first event of 2025’s awards season did not disappoint.

    Golden Globes The cast and crew of Emilia Perez

    The cast and crew of Emilia Perez, which won four Golden Globe awards: Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy; Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language; Best Original Song – Motion Picture for “El Mal”; and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for Zoe Saldaña
    Image source: Golden Globes (Instagram)

    Here are just some of the standout moments we’re obsessing over: 

    Zendaya owns the night (again) 

    It’s official — Zendaya is in a league of her own. Styled by the legendary Law Roach, Zendaya graced the carpet in a monochromatic orange custom Louis Vuitton ensemble that left no detail unchecked. From the gown to the heels and even her rusty-hued locks, she was a literal goddess. Iconic. Thank you, Z, for delivering yet again.

    Golden Globes Miley Cyrus 01

    Image source: Golden Globes (Instagram)

    Miley Cyrus turns cool-girl chic into an art form 

    Fresh off her first Grammy win last year, Miley Cyrus knows a thing or two about making moves — on the stage and the red carpet. She showed up in a shimmering Celine gown with bold cut-outs, a ’00s updo (complete with chunky highlights), and topped it off with the ultimate power move: sunglasses. Take notes, people: that’s how you do effortlessly cool. 

    Cynthia Erivo defies gravity with drama 

    Cynthia Erivo’s structured peplum commanded everyone’s attention.  With a deep v-neckline and silver embellishments, the Louis Vuitton ensemble exuded drama and confidence, perfectly complementing her jaw-dropping performance in Wicked.

    Cate Blanchett’s golden comeback

    Cate Blanchett joined Viola Davis in proving that red carpet magic can happen twice in the same dress. Blanchett returned to the Golden Globes in a gold Louis Vuitton gown that had already made waves at Cannes less than a year ago. Its cape-style bodice, metallic shoulder detailing, sleek column skirt, and dramatic train were pure elegance. She paired the show-stopping gown with minimal accessories and a sharp side-parted blonde bob.

    Viola Davis re-wears Gucci like royalty 

    Viola Davis understood the assignment and flipped the sustainability script. When Gucci creates a masterpiece, why not wear it more than once? The 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree brought back her stunning black sequined dress from the 2024 LACMA Gala, this time wearing it with a rainbow cape. Bravo to Davis and her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, for making rewearing just as fabulous as a red carpet debut. 

    Elle Fanning perfects print play 

    Need proof that fashion risks pay off? Look no further than Elle Fanning. Her leopard-print Balmain gown featuring a corseted champagne waist and sequined bust might sound chaotic on paper, but on her? Pure harmony. She paired it with gold Cartier for that extra oomph, reminding us why she’s the queen of combining elegance with edge. 

    Golden Globes Emma Stone 01
    Image source: Golden Globes (Instagram)

    Emma Stone’s new pixie cut 

    Emma Stone unveiled a brand-new pixie cut that wowed fans on the red carpet. Rumored to be for her upcoming film, Bugonia, the haircut was paired with a radiant red Louis Vuitton gown that served straight-up Hollywood sophistication. If her new look is any indication, 2025 is the year of Emma making serious moves. 

    Angelina Jolie sparkles alongside her daughter

    Angelina Jolie knows how to make a statement, and the stunning diva made an unforgettable entrance in a bedazzled long-sleeved dress with sheer panels and streaks of black and silver sequins. Jolie wasn’t alone — walking beside her was her daughter, Zahara Jolie, rocking a custom white Alexander McQueen dress adorned with a sequined cherry tree-inspired pattern. 

    Ariana Grande goes full Audrey Hepburn 

    Speaking of hair revamps, Ariana Grande ditched her platinum locks for a more honey-brown ‘do. The talented star arrived in a 1966 yellow haute couture Givenchy gown, paired with white gloves, and Swarovski crystal accents, she was serving “Good Witch”, but make it fashion.

    Timothée Chalamet saves the men’s fashion scene (Again) 

    Timothée Chalamet didn’t just suit up last night. Still paying homage to Bob Dylan, he paired a simple black suit with a delightfully quirky polka-dot skinny scarf, he gave us just enough edge to keep things interesting.

    Hollywood’s biggest nights, streaming exclusively on Lionsgate Play 

    This year, Lionsgate Play brought the glitz and glamour of the Golden Globes directly to fans in the Philippines with an exclusive live stream of the star-studded event. Missed the live show?
