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…

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…
Earlier this week, Over The Shoulder was invited by Paramount (Substance Global) to attend a special media screening of Scary Movie 6 in Leicester Square. Bringing back original stars Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans should have been a recipe for a triumphant return. Instead, what audiences get is a film that occasionally recaptures…
‘Have you ever used anal beads while playing chess?’ This ridiculous question was asked by Piers Morgan to chess wonder kid Hans Niemann who found himself caught up in a cheating scandal. So begins the fascinating documentary ‘Chess Mates’ out now on Netflix. For many, chess was seen as a game reserved for intellectuals and…
When I first heard that there was a Michael Jackson film coming out, I was sceptical. A lot of that came down to the fact it was being produced by the Michael Jackson Estate, and that his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, was going to play him. It felt like it might be a bit too controlled, and not…
