Ray Donovan acting class: how to demonstrate range by standing
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 30th July 2014
You've got it all here: Eddie Marsan's threatening sideways lean, Jon Voight's insouciant turn askance, Liev Schrieber's straightahead hands-in-pockets furrowed look, Pooch Hall's lean with added gangsta hands, and Dash Mihok's unaccountable leg-spreading. There's not a male character archetype in the entire acting gamut that isn't covered by one of these stances. (I managed five episodes.)

Helix: Season One DVD
TV Review | Iain Robertson | 28th June 2014
Helix's first season, out on DVD and Blu-ray on Monday, suffered for Channel 5's capricious scheduling, but has a lot to enjoy. A lot more than most things on Channel 5, anyway.

Happy Absent, Unreliable Father's Day
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 15th June 2014
This picture was shared by the official Mad Men Facebook page earlier today. Some of Don Draper's achievements as a father include:
- marrying his children's mother and parenting them through their formative years under a false identity
- sleeping with his daughter's teacher
- getting caught by his daughter in bed with his neighbour
- growing so bored at his daughter's birthday party that he gets drunk, goes out to pick up her cake and drives around with it for hours rather than going home.
Still, he did buy Sally some Beatles tickets. Happy Draper Day! -
King of Spain abdicates after Game of Thrones marathon
TV News | Ed Williamson | 2nd June 2014
"Have you bloody seen what happens to the king when he's hung about a bit too long?" King Juan Carlos remarked to a servant after smashing two seasons of Game of Thrones in a long weekend. "A sword sandwich without the chorizo, that's what. Fuck that noise, I'm Audi." His son Prince Felipe will succeed him, even though everyone likes his brother the badass dwarf much better.

The Two Faces Of January
Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 15th May 2014
Now I don't want you to be alarmed or make any sudden movements, but I've read the book on which this film is based. Like, all the way through. I sort of remember it, too. Which is why I told the guys they could keep their X-Men and their Godzillas, because this week I be Highsmithin'. No, I wasn't invited to the other screenings, but I don't see how that's relevant.

Eight assumptions I'm making about 24: Live Another Day
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 24th April 2014
I never quite managed to get along with 24. After three episodes of the first season I was just about done. Then I tried them again about a week ago. Same result: booooooring. It doesn't half move slow for something with a built-in device for urgency. So with 24: Live Another Day coming up on Sky 1 I have no choice but to base this article on a series of ill-informed assumptions. Or, you know, just write nothing at all.

TV News | Ed Williamson | 15th April 2014
Game of Thrones fans have criticised the publishers of Wedding magazine for ruining the latest episode by introducing into their minds the idea that things sometimes happen at weddings.

19 people who are FURIOUS that everyone keeps calling her "Khaleesi"
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 10th April 2014
Something about it being her title not her name, from what I can gather? Mainly in capital letters.

Mad Men season seven spoiler: Don marries napkin
TV News | Ed Williamson | 8th April 2014
"I grew up in a knocking shop and I poison everything I love, but you're the only one who understands me, Natalie Napkin," says Don in the first episode's cold opening. Twenty minutes in, he starts cheating on it with a balloon whisk.
