Reviews

Kill Your Friends is finally released in US cinemas today by Well Go USA. While the reviews so far have been as mixed as those following the UK release last November, the LA Times gave a deservedly nice mention for Tom as Parker-Hall, as did the NY Times!

Da Vinci's Demons season 3 was released on DVD and Blu-ray yesterday in the US, and a few new reviews for it have beem shared online. One review from Inside Pulse, clearly written without ever actually watching the show on DVD or Blu-ray - they awarded 3 out of 5 for included extras, where there are none - can be discounted. I hope no-one actually got paid for writing that piece. 

A new behind the scenes video from filming Da Vinci's Demons season 3 has been shared by Den of Geek, to promote their website giveaway of the entire series of Da Vinci's Demons. Den of Geek also included some kind words about Tom as Leonardo.

Q: I studied Da Vinci in college, but I didn't know most of the things that I've learned from the show. What's the most surprising thing about him that you've learned from doing this?

FOX TV in UK will air The Serpent, episode 2 at 10pm, which will also be available on UK iTunes for those with a series pass.

Metro recommends this weeks Da Vinci's Demons, while Heat Magazine awards 4 stars

"Tom Riley continues to dazzle as da Vinci..."

Another brilliant interview with Tom from yesterday's Da Vinci's Demons premiere in Neath has been uploaded to You Tube and the first of the UK online reviews have appeared...

Theatre: Really Really

I saw this play just off Broadway at the MC theatre club. It's directed by David Cromer and written by Paul Downs Colaizzo and stars Zosia Mamet, who is Shoshanna in Girls. It's a beautiful, brutal little play. It deals with the fallout of an accusation that may or may not be true at an American college. It's a sad, savage exploration of this generation that has been conditioned to expect that whatever they want, they deserve. It's fascinating.

Another great interview with Tom for Collider.com, discussing Da Vinci's Demons has been shared online. As always, read it in full on the website. 

What can you say about the antagonistic relationship that Leonardo has with Girolamo Riario (Blake Ritson)?

An amazing review for Da Vinci's Demons from IGN has been posted. 

David S. Goyer’s stab at recreating the history of da Vinci, Da Vinci’s Demons, is an exciting, sexy and enticing recreation of the socio-political struggle of Florence Italy...

...Tom Riley is strong in the role with room to grow as we discover more about da Vinci and those demons of his.
