  • 25 Oct 2011

  Here at LOVEFiLM we’ve been banging on about our admiration for Ryan Gosling ever since Half Nelson back in 2006.

No. 'Very well then, Willy' Hopkins teases out every ounce of absurdity in the name. A boy's name, not a name for a high-powered attorney, surely?

  • 10 Jan 2011

  This week, in Conviction, Hilary Swank plays Betty Anne Wheeler, a working class mum who put herself through law school to get her brother out of jail. It sounds far-fetched, but it’s a true story and a tribute to the determination and faith of a remarkable woman. They say that in America, everybody discovers his or her vocation on TV – which may account for the sheer volume of lawyers in that most litigious of nations.
