Muslim Matchmaker

Omni Loop (2024)

The sci-fi movie stars Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri as scientists looking to crack the secret time travel.
How Disney Built America

The documentary was a notable Sundance 2025 movie, where it earned strong reviews (currently 90% “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes), making it a must watch for any music fan.
The Fault in Our Stars (2014)
- Get the tissues ready for this teen tear-jerker when it becomes available on February 14
While it is highly recommended that you don’t watch The Fault in Our Stars without tissues nearby, this movie is also a lovely romance featuring good performances from Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as teens who are trying to make the most of their lives as they deal with life threatening illnesses. It might not be the most conventional Valentine’s Day watch, but you’ll be hard-pressed not to fall for these two characters.
