“LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DIDN’T DO, ITS ABOUT WHAT WE DID DO” When getting the tickets for this production I was really intrigued. First, because I have never seen a one man show and second because of the plot and its promise of being a poignant original comedy. To tell you the truth the main reason for me was Asa Butterfield’s (you would recognise him from Hugo, Sex Education, Enders Game and many more) theatre debut and the hint of Hogwarts. Sometimes you…

“I have been playing a role my whole life” one of the inmates says when musing on his participation in the prison theatrical society. Thinking about this line, it seems a very powerful metaphor for the movie. We all have personas that we project to others, and this becomes heightened in uncompromising prison life, where how others perceive us is important for survival. I am probably late to the party speaking about this production, but this film needs to be talked about more. It is…
Cameron Diaz is back with her first film since she took a break to become a mum 10 years ago. It’s a safe return to the big screen, which can be seen with her choice of co-star, her old friend Jamie Foxx. Cameron’s last film before she retired was ANNIE, again with Jamie Foxx. I thought she did a great job as the baddie turned good Miss Hannigan. The best friends are back with Netflix’s BACK IN ACTION, a spy film whose title is a…
Over the Shoulder was delighted and lucky to sit down with the multitalented actress turned director Julia Ford to discuss her experience at the helm of BBC’s hit courtroom drama SHOWTRIAL. Julia began a successful stage and screen career in the 1980’s before moving to her real love, directing. Julia offered great insight into the directing craft and the processes involved in making a blockbuster series and much more too…here we go Season 2 of SHOWTRIAL has been a massive success. How did the opportunity…
You know when you watch a series, quite often you say that the second season isn’t as good as the first, in this case however, I disagree. XO KITTY mark 2 is even better, and I don’t normally say that! XO KITTY is an American/Korean teen drama for all ages. You get to see the development of the characters and they shine more in this series but what I really love is that it wears its heart on its sleeve, which is exactly what you…
Today my choices for exciting TV shows that are returning in 2025 are mainly for the Gen Z audience. These shows have captivated me, and I am really looking forward to Gen Z heaven. Here are 5 of my most anticipated TV shows of 2025 STRANGER THINGS – This is the final season of the most successful supernatural franchise in recent years and hopefully it will be the best one yet. I was a bit disappointed with the fourth season as it dragged on too…
A quick shoutout to a Netflix show that I watched last night. MISSING YOU, is one of my favourite Harlan Coben’s adaptations, so cleverly done although sometimes a bit predictable. I guess that’s to be expected with so much murder mystery content around. MISSING YOU was better than most. Harlan Coben has agreed a fourteen series deal with Netflix and after this one there is only four more to go. It has five 45-minute episodes that are easy to watch and has got enough action…
The year ahead is going to be filled with movies that are wicked, comedic, romantic and action packed. All the genres will get a look in and even some new ones may be created. I feel that animated classics being turned into live action versions could be the surprise package that everyone will be talking about. Whether they will be flops or massive successes only time will tell. Here are 10 of my most anticipated movies of 2025. BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY. This…
