The Gentlemen (2024)
10/10
Funny, brilliant and wild
7 March 2024
I couldn't stop binging this! It's a funny and wild ride with an ensemble cast. Theo James was born to play this role and I couldn't help thinking he would make a great Bond, especially after episode 2. Kaya Scodelario is brilliant as the steely Susie Glass. The comic timing of the whole cast is pivotal in making this so watchable.

It's typical British dark humour and I can't wait to discover more jokes on repeat viewing. The locations are fantastic and are characters in themselves. I hope there are more seasons as I want to see how Eddie and Susie continue along with the characters who have survived this season!

The White Lotus: That's Amore (2022)
Season 2, Episode 5
10/10
Theo James is brilliant
24 August 2023
This is the episode where you realise the motive behind Cameron's actions so far, most notably in that undressing scene in episode 1. Theo James is brilliant as the scheming Cameron that one loves to hate but still charismatic enough for Harper to be attracted to. Will Sharpe, Aubrey Plaza and Meghan Fahy are also fantastic and for me it was their storylines which were the most compelling this season. The tone is noticeably not as funny as season 1, it's leaning more towards dramatic tone but still a very compelling watch. The mystery of the dead body ties in well with the story and keeps you guessing.

Gripping
26 January 2022
Interesting drama with a great pace and excellent acting which ended well for a change! It was gripping right from the start and the outback setting added to the eeriness.

Unexpectedly good
10 February 2021
Watched season 1 only not expecting much from a low-budget old British TV show but was pleasantly surprised! The stories are quite gripping, Theo James is fantastic as is the rest of the starry cast. It certainly would be much better with big production values of sky made it now! Not many horror TV shows worth a watch but this was definitely good!

Why the negative reviews?
23 January 2021
Great fun watch with terrific action. The chemistry between the two leads is fantastic. Don't understand the negative reviews! My only complaint is that season 3 was too short!

Venom (2018)
8/10
Good fun
10 January 2021
Never understand why the critics love some superhero movies and hate others. This was surprisingly good, the interaction between Eddie and Venom is funny. In a different tone than marvel movies which could be the reason some are disappointed. Riz Ahmed and Tom Hardy are both great.

What a debut from Theo James!
2 January 2021
I looked it up to see the earlier works of Theo James and didn't realise it was his debut. Perfect Sunday night drama from BBC based on a true story. I loved both parts, great story brought to life by the great cast. Theo James had great screen presence right from the start of his career!

Under-rated
2 January 2021
I didn't expect much but it was a really good movie and great performances from the ensemble cast and a bitter sweet ending. Hope more people find it as it's the whole movie is free to watch on YouTube

Better than expected
29 December 2020
Good watch, the interactions between Whittaker and James are particularly good. Not sure why so many are so annoyed by the open ending!

Disappointing
29 November 2020
The trailer gives too much away! Nothing much extra other than the big twist! Both Henry and Emilia are excellent and make it watchable.

Masterpiece

One of the best Hindi movies ever made. Aamir Khan is brilliant along with the rest of the cast. Songs carry the movie forward.

Great performances make the movie better
3 September 2020
Great to watch Ben Kingsley and Theo James together who elevate the movie. Could've been more thrilling in parts but still a great watch.

Thought provoking
31 August 2020
Not the usual type of action packed sci-fi. Slow build up but thought-provoking and interesting with brilliant performances and a great finale.
