A homicidal red-headed tyrant, a killer robot, a sadistic witch, a purveyor of cannibal pies and a corpse bride… This is what Helena Bonham Carter has been getting up to recently: unleashing her inner freak. As your mother would say, she seemed like such a nice girl… She was still a teenager when she starred as Lucy Honeychurch in Merchant-Ivory’s production of EM Forster’s A Room With A View back in 1985. To all intents and purposes she was the perfect English rose:... Read more
Gandhi (1982) In 1982 a barely recognisable Daniel Day-Lewis landed a small part in Richard Attenborough’s Ghandi. Rumour has it that Day-Lewis approached the Brit director directly about the role, which served as a platform for later projects. In his small scene, Day-Lewis plays a street thug who is chastised by his mother for bullying peaceful religious activist, Ghandi.

Great performances come in all shapes and sizes, but there is nothing as thrilling as an actor bigging it up, striving for the epic, and pulling it off. The risks are obvious: larger-than-life can easily translate as ham, and the one can be mistaken for the other. Some of the most acclaimed performances from the past - by Laurence Oliver, or Charles Laughton, for example - now look so theatrical it's difficult to take them entirely seriously. Even so, we appreciate the effort. Al Pacino has... Read more
Now that school's out for summer, and Harry Potter and chums are growing up, we thought it was about time to turn the tables and file a report card on the teaching staff at Hogwarts. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are beginning to branch out for themselves into the Muggles' world. If they're serious about making the grade in movies, how do the esteemed British thespians they've been studying with these past few years measure up as role models?
