There's something about Matt Smith where he just seems like yeah he could be a nice guy or he could be completely sinister it's a character toss up. It's actually something I think Anya Taylor-Joy shares with him... Could be an angel? Might be a demon? And they help make Last Night in Soho a... Continue Reading →
Black Water Sister
