NETFLIX’S ADOLESENCE IS A FRESH, HARROWING AND GRIPPING DRAMA MINISERIES. BEST IN A DECADE

Posted on March 16, 2025March 24, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Imagine this, the police have just knocked down your door and bursts into your house and your 13-year-old child gets arrested as he has been accused of murdering his classmate Katie the night before. This is the harrowing story of Jamie Miller.  The first two episodes immerse us in the procedural details, both detectives DI…

TWO STAND OUT MOVIES FROM THE GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL 

Posted on March 7, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Going to Glasgow film Festival has been an unbelievable experience. For someone who hasn’t been to a red carpet or festival before everyone was really welcoming and very helpful.   The first film that I watched was REINAS and here is my review of it.  REINAS (QUEENS) –  I have never been a huge fan of…

WHITE ROSE: A STORY THAT SHOUTS TO BE HEARD AND DESERVES A WEST END RUN.

Posted on March 1, 2025March 1, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

“We will not be Silent”. ” Stand Up and Resist”.  “Truth, Freedom and Honour”.  These words are the bedrock of this morality tale that is also a true story of speaking truth to power. I didn’t know the true story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, but it can’t be repeated enough so that…

Over the Shoulder was delighted and lucky to sit down with film actor, theatre performer and business entrepreneur Charlie Hamblett to discuss his experience in Harlan Coben’s, MISSING YOU Netflix series. We also discussed Charlie’s formative years growing up in the home of Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon and how this led to his career debut, performing on…

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Hollywood toxic masculinity or the manipulation exerted by star power on set. (Part 1)

Posted on February 3, 2025February 3, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Every day there is new information and footage being released as the claim and counter claim continue in the fallout between these two Hollywood players. With the Me-Too movement rightly adjusting the male biased power dynamic existing behind the scenes of tinsel town, this at first glance seemed just another sad case of a woman…

SING SING IS GENIUS, BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE IN SO MANY WAYS 

Posted on January 22, 2025January 26, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

“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…

BACK IN ACTION IS TERRIBLE, BUT NOT THAT TERRIBLE  

Posted on January 21, 2025January 26, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

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…

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…

ENTERTAINING AND CHARMING: XO KITTY IS MORE THAN JUST ROMANCE

Posted on January 17, 2025January 17, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

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…

MISSING YOU; A HARLAN COBEN MASTERCLASS  

Posted on January 4, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

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…
