  Lawrence (a bearded and tweedy Dennis Quaid) is a professor of literature and a pompous ass. Maybe the death of his wife made him that way - maybe he always had it in him, but he's organized his life in such a way that no one else gets much of a look in. Not his pissed off teenage son, James (Ashton Holmes); not his colleagues on the faculty; certainly not his poor students; and least of all his own ne'er do well brother Chuck (Thomas Haden Church). The only one who genuinely likes Lawrence is Read more

  

  2010 Top 20 Actresses Under 30

  • 03 Jun 2010

  We’ve been running this list for six years now – originally it was top ten under 25, a definition we realised was too narrow as our favourite stars got older. Funnily enough this year the youngsters are back in force – only three of our top ten, and one of the top five, are over 25. What does that mean? Well, obviously we’re not claiming that Mia Wasikowska (ranked 3 in our chart) is as big a movie star as Natalie Portman (ranked 14). And frankly I would be surprised if Read more

  

  The Top 20 Actresses Under 30

  • 04 Aug 2009

  This is the fourth time we’ve put together the Girl Power list, and we’ve made some changes this year. Crucially, we’ve followed the pattern established by our similar list of up–and-coming actors and pushed the age limit up from 25 to 30. That way, we reckon, we’re not boosting starlets and discriminating against actresses just when they’ve found a foothold and put together a solid body of work. Inevitably, the cut-off means we miss out on several important Read more

  

  Prom Night is king at US box office

  • 14 Apr 2008

  High school slasher remake Prom Night has slain the competition to take the number one spot at the US box office, new figures from Nielsen show. The horror flick, which stars Hairspray's Brittany Snow, Dana Davis of Heroes and Reaper's Jessica Stroup, raked in $22.7 million (£11.4 million) on its opening weekend to beat fellow new release Street Kings - with Keanu Reeves and Forest Whittaker - to the top spot. Casino caper 21 dropped to number three, while family fantasy Nim's Island was... Read more

  

  LOVEFiLM Girl Power List 2008

  • 16 Jun 2008

  We took a break from our Girl Power list last year to focus on the guys - so who knows? Maybe this will become a bi-annual feature. It says something about the movie biz that when it came to up-and-coming male actors we felt we had to raise the age range to 30 to get in the likes of Ryan Gosling, Ben Foster and James McAvoy. Initially we wondered if we might have to do the same this year for the girls. Some high profile names have fallen out of the 25 or younger bracket, among them Natalie... Read more
