  • Snitch

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 17th June 2013

    I've watched a few WWE 'shoot' documentaries recently. They feature men whom I spent hours of my childhood watching get greased up and pretend to ram their elbows into one another's kidneys, now older and with faces like meat, talking candidly about the roles they were playing. It's striking how different they all are from their in-ring characters: remarkably good actors, in a way. The move from ring to action movies is a natural one, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has always been the one most qualified to make it. But on the evidence of Snitch, he's forgotten one key piece of The Rock's credo: know your damn role.

  • The Kennedys

    TV Review | Ed Williamson | 20th June 2011

    SPOILER ALERT: I'm pretty sure the main guy dies at the end.

  • True Grit

    Movie Review | Anna | 11th February 2011

    From time to time a film comes along that marries the perfect story, perfect script, perfect director and perfect cast. Chinatown had it, The Godfather had it and True Grit's got it. Sit back and wallow in its sweet perfection.
