Top 10 films of our lifetime #2: Children Of Men
Movie Feature | Ali Gray | 25th September 2014
I bloody love a good apocalypse. I think if I were a director, being given the chance to ruin the world and set up camp at ground zero would be like being a kid in a sweet shop: so much potential for iconic imagery, so many stories to tell, so many angles. In Children Of Men, Alfonso Cuaron tells the biggest story - the imminent extinction of mankind - yet manages to make it small and personal at the same time. And, true to form, he captures some unforgettable imagery along the way. I hope the real apocalypse looks this good - Ali.

My favourite arguments on Wikipedia TV show talk pages
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 16th April 2013
Wikipedia talk pages are a rare kind of douchebag magnet, in that they offer a platform of legitimacy for some of the very worst people on the internet.

Hopes for The Snowman And The Snowdog
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 14th December 2012
A sequel to Christmas classic The Snowman hits our screens on Christmas Eve. I don't know about you, but I'm hoping it desecrates the original and sullies the memories of my childhood forever. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Knightmare contestant grew up to be Italian cruise ship captain
TV Video | Ed Williamson | 1st October 2012
Yes, I know that joke was only topical about nine months ago. YOU try and write a justification for posting a clip from Knightmare where some kid can't tell left from right. This stuff's not easy, you know. -

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot linked to anarchist group
TV News | Ed Williamson | 12th July 2012
The subjects of a soon-to-be-revived multi-million-dollar merchandising franchise are, it turns out, fervent anti-capitalists looking to bring down society from within. And eat pizza.

DVD weekly: won't anybody think of the children?!
TV Feature | Kirsty Harrison | 19th March 2012
It's time we got something straight: our site attracts tens of pre-school kids and it's time we stopped talking about boobs and gangsters and got to the meat of what really matters to our readers. Poorly rendered CGI anthropomorphic cartoons.

Very nearly a clean sweep of things I've actually seen in this week's DVDs round-up. Two out of three, anyway. Come on, that's pretty good for us.

Sorry, we've got no Sorry I've Got No Head
TV Feature | Kirsty Harrison | 24th November 2011
The wonderful "Sorry, I've Got No Head", CBBC's premier children's sketch show, has been retired from the screen after three very successful years. Click through to see some of the best sketches and read some random grumbling about Horne and Corden or youth being wasted on the youth or somesuch. Screw Shooting Stars, this is a travesty.
