Originals have to stay originals. You can’t touch the classics. As someone who grew up with Camp Rock, I really wanted to like this. I went into it thinking, “Okay, this could actually be good.” Unfortunately, I was wrong. I felt rushed watching it, and there was basically no character development. To be honest, I didn’t…
Watching the new season of Ted Lasso is like visiting an old friend. You get that same feeling of warmth, excitement and nostalgia as these familiar characters return. It’s a bit like waiting all summer for the football season to start. You know roughly what you’re going to get, but that doesn’t make the return any less…
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…
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…
“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…
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…
Few shows manage to improve on a strong first season, but A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder somehow does exactly that. Season 2 is darker, smarter and far more emotionally gripping than what came before. What began as a compelling teen mystery has evolved into something much more intense, delivering a story that feels mature, unsettling and…
There’s something really exciting about stumbling across a production that completely surprises you, and that’s exactly what happened with An Ideal Husband at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. Oscar Wilde’s classic already has all the ingredients for brilliant theatre scandal, wit, messy relationships and sharp social commentary but director Nicholas Hytner La Barrie gives it a fresh contemporary twist that makes…
