I was lucky enough to catch the first two episodes of Hit Point a couple of weeks ago at a special screening hosted by DDA at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, and I’ve been looking forward to sharing my thoughts ever since. The series follows two thirty-something detectives, Leo (Nick Blood) and Bella (Saffron Hocking) , whose latest investigation…
Just a quick warning before we begin – this review contains spoilers throughout. After watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day, I can honestly say this is the strongest entry in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man saga so far. The film delivers everything I want from a Spider-Man story the emotion, the humour, the action, and most importantly, it remembers…
The Odyssey is one of the oldest stories in history. You could say it’s the origin of the hero, quest and adventure genre, mysteriously written or perhaps handed down orally in the 9th or 8th century BC. Christopher Nolan gives us a version equal to its iconic status. The story tells the tale of Odysseus and…
I recently asked people a question: if you’re in a sad mood, is there a film that makes you feel instantly better? Chef came up again and again, and it made me wonder how on earth I’d never watched it before. I love shows and films about food, but here’s the thing this film isn’t…
“It is not as sad as you think though. It’s not like we don’t love each other and whatever happens, whether we are together or not… the exact relationships may change and people may fall in and out of touch, but the love that connects us all will never break. We built it and it…
While audiences remember the performances they see on screen, there’s an entire team working behind the scenes to help bring those moments to life. Among them are stand-ins and doubles, whose work ensures everything from lighting and camera positions to continuity is ready before the cameras roll. Actor Caitlin Florence Rose experienced that first-hand while…
One of the best romance films of the last five years, and without question the best romantic movie I’ve seen this year. Romance has become a genre where we’ve had more quantity than quality over the past decade. So many films come and go without leaving much of an impression. Voicemails for Isabelle is different. This is…
Not every Harlan Coben adaptation hooks me from the very first episode, but I always give them a chance because I know there is usually a twist around the corner that changes everything. I Will Find You takes its time getting there, but if you stick with it, you’re rewarded with an intriguing mystery, strong performances and…
Your Fault London wastes no time pulling you back into chaos, chemistry, and emotional tension delivering a sequel that feels bigger, hotter, and far more addictive than expected. Thanks to Amazon Prime Video and DDA Global, I was invited to attend the global premiere, going in completely blind having not seen the original Spanish series. For…
In this conversation, actor Darin Toonder reflects on his role in Obsession, a low-budget horror-thriller directed by Curry Barker that has been gaining attention for its unusual blend of improvisational performance and suspense-driven storytelling. Toonder plays Harry, a laid-back, slightly eccentric character who works in a shop filled with crystals, incense, and spiritual trinkets an unexpected departure from the more…
