  • Nine things you need to know about Hannibal

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 18th February 2013

    Obviously, "need to know" is a bit of a stretch. You don't need to know them in the sense that you'll be at risk of losing your job or home if you don't, nor will your children be taken into care because of the danger in which you've placed them through your ignorance. But this is how you write features on the internet: put everything in a list.

  • Shadow Dancer

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 22nd August 2012

    Unlike its namesake, a game for the Megadrive in which a ninja and his dog beat up a lot of other ninjas, James Marsh's Shadow Dancer is about the Troubles. This puts me in the awkward position of having little background knowledge of the Troubles to contribute, largely because I spent too much of my youth not doing my history homework so I could play Shadow Dancer on the Megadrive. You can see the bind I'm in.

  • Facepalm: Third X-Files movie coming, the reboot is out there

    Movie News | Ali | 24th August 2009

    Even the box-office flop of I Want To Believe hasn't convinced the powers that be that the X Files need to be shredded. Not only is a third movie imminent, a young and sexy reboot is planned.

  • How To Lose Friends And Alienate People

    Movie Review | Ali | 4th October 2008

    Toby Young is an asshole. His memoir, How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, is a self-penned documentation of the Brit writer's total lack of class and charm, following his disastrous stint at hoity-toity society magazine Vanity Fair in the late '90s. While overseas, Young systematically managed to insult, repel and repulse t...

  • The X Files: I Want To Believe

    Movie Review | Ali | 2nd August 2008

    Aliens. Victor Tooms. Government cover-ups and black goo. That fish-faced sewer mutant thing. All reasons to tune in to The X Files TV show every week, and all conspicuous by their absence in this disappointing second big-screen X Files outing. For Mulder and Scully's movie reunion, the story is more in line with the singular 'm...

  • Straightheads

    Movie Review | Ali | 24th April 2007

    Before the opening credits of Straightheads roll, a National Lottery logo appears and fittingly flicks two fingers up at you. Funded by the National Lottery Film Council, this is a horrible waste of British money that would have been better spent building public toilets or car parks. When I buy my Lucky Dip every week, I trust...

  • The Last King Of Scotland

    Movie Review | Ali | 17th January 2007

    James McAvoy? So hot right now. There are quite literally a hundred female casting agents out there with damp crotches and dollar signs where their pupils should be. Having lit up the small screen in Channel 4's Shameless, fought poorly costumed evil in the Chronicles of Narnia as the cloven-hooved Mr. Tumnus and been univers...
