Going to Extremes
- 27 Jan 2011
Some actors do their job between ‘action’ and ‘cut’. Some plunge into an ocean of research with only infrequent gasps of air. And some go to such all-out, full-on, balls-to-the-wall extremes in pursuit of their art, you wonder if they’ll ever come down again. Witness Christian Bale as Exhibit A (and Exhibits B, C and D, for that matter), in The Fighter. As Dicky Eklund, half-brother to Mark Wahlberg’s light welterweight wannabe Micky Ward, he sheds the beef... Read more

It's got to be the odds-on favourite. There Will Be Blood... Read more
Daniel Day-Lewis: The Essential Performances
- 01 Feb 2008
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
