‘The Life List' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Movie
The Life List Netflix The Life List has been a hit with Netflix audiences, including, anecdotally, my wife, who has watched it twice already. The Life List has stayed at #1 almost since its release on March 28, but after a week, it has finally been knocked down by a new movie. That would be something I recommended this past week, One of Them Days, the comedy starring SZA and Keke Palmer, which is the best comedy of 2025 so far, boasting a 93% and 90% critic and audience score respectively. That's very hard to do. Here's the synopsis: Top 10 Netflix The film was added to Netflix a little while ago, but has been climbing up the charts the last few days to hit #1. This is not a Netflix original, this is a film that was out in January of this year and Netflix nabbed it through licensing, which I would argue is the best in the business with the kind of things it's managed to grab. The Life List, which stars Carry-On and Purple Hearts' Sofia Carson, has a less good 47% critic score, but a solid 73% audience score, that gap explaining why it's done so well on the service. This was adapted from a novel by Lori Nelson Spielman. I do not believe that there are other books in this series specifically, but Spielman has a number of other titles that may not be ripe for adaptation. As for the rest of the list, it's more about what is not on it, which would be The Electric State, now dropped out of the top 10 entirely, and it does not seem like it is going to come close to cracking the all-time top 10 list, despite its massive $320 million cost, Netflix's most-expensive ever. This week, it barely had a third of the views of The Life List. Like I've said before, I highly recommend One of Them Days to everyone, as it's a hilarious movie no matter your background, and I'm glad to see it doing well here. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Georgina Rodriguez dazzles front row at Elie Saab's Paris Fashion Week show
DUBAI: Lebanese haute couture label Elie Saab's Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection transported Paris Fashion Week to the world's most exclusive mountain retreats, where relaxed glamour meets alpine allure. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ With Georgina Rodriguez, Sofia Carson and Leighton Meester gracing the front row, the show unfolded as a celebration of opulent textures, burnished hues, and striking silhouettes — seamlessly transitioning from the polished salons of the city to the snow-dusted slopes. A post shared by ELIE SAAB (@eliesaabworld) Saudi-based Argentinian model Rodriguez wore a pristine white outfit that took inspiration from Elie Saab's alpine theme. The ensemble featured a luxurious, textured top adorned with delicate feather-like details, adding a touch of avant-garde flair. This was paired with tailored white trousers that complemented her silhouette. Carson — the US actress and singer known for films such as 'Purple Hearts' and 'Descendants' — graced the event in a sophisticated black and white checked tweed dress by Elie Saab. The ensemble was cinched at the waist with a black belt, complemented by black leather gloves and a matching bag. She completed her elegant look with a veiled black hat. A post shared by Sofia Carson (@sofiacarson) Meester debuted a fiery new look at the show, sporting a ginger hair transformation. At the show, Meester was seated directly next to former 'Gossip Girl' co-star Kelly Rutherford, who played Lily van der Woodsen. Her dress featured a dynamic pattern, blending rich colors that complemented her fresh hair transformation. On the runway, a rich palette of midnight black, powder white, pine green, deep burgundy, and chocolate brown enveloped the collection in warmth and sophistication. Voluminous fur coats draped effortlessly over butter-soft leggings, while embroidered and sleek tube midi-skirts found harmony with monochrome knits. The classic tuxedo took on freshness with cropped trousers, pairing flawlessly with an embellished sixties-style jacket, a statement piece equally at home with fitted midi-skirts. A post shared by ELIE SAAB (@eliesaabworld) The snow-capped skyline reimagined itself as a recurring motif — stitched into cashmere sweaters, sequinned across layered dresses, and woven through sport-luxe essentials like a figure-hugging zipped jumpsuit and a striking yellow parka. Structured silk corsets cascaded into mermaid lace, while scalloped tiers of beaded floor-length gowns shimmered like moonlit glacial waves. Accessories completed the apres-ski look: Alaskan hats, visor sunshades, and chunky fur-trimmed snow boots enhanced the alpine spirit, while closed-toe leather and satin pumps offered effortless elegance. Sumptuous fur bags in various sizes added a final touch of indulgence, alongside the latest additions to the Wave handbag collection.
