Matthew Graham interview: the Ashes To Ashes finale

We clearly mark where these are, so theyre easily avoidable. Without further ado… Firstly, many congratulations on the current run! How closely have you been following the online reaction to series three so far? I do follow it a bit. Its also sort of not really what the show creators and writers and producers should do. The fan sites are there for the fans, and they should be there to debate and express themselves....

Richard Herring interview: Hitler Moustache, How Not To Grow Up and much, much more

Thanks for meeting us for the interview. You have a book out. A book calledHow Not To Grow Up. Ad content continues below You know all about it. I dont need to be here. Ive been reading the book and I think its fantastic. How did it come to be that youre writing a book? It had been quite a turbulent year for me. I realised in the course of that show that there was this idea of kidults....

Doctor Who: Bring back the Valeyard!

And whos that?! For those whove only been with the show since the word Run! or thereafter, heres a quick catch-up. He hates the Doctor, probably more than any other enemy hes ever encountered. This throws up the idea that were simply over-thinking it. It would have been a left-field choice before the brief return of the Time Lords inThe End Of Time. If he ever defeats the Doctor, he would have access to all of his experiences and lives....

MR 73 DVD review

Well, it was never going to be a romantic comedy, was it? WatchingMR 73, its pretty clear where Marchals sensibilities lie. Yet, like36before it,MR 73offers more than it first seems. Ad content continues below Auteuils Schneider is a man plagued by tragedy and gone to ruin. After the action-heavy and densely plotted36,MR 73may disappoint those looking for more of the same. It also leaves an impression that lasts much longer than36s too-clever-for-its-own-good one....

Russell Mulcahy interview: Give ‘Em Hell Malone, Teen Wolf, Highlander and 3D sharks

Why do think there hasnt been much of resurgence in that genre? Its probably closest, in terms of your own work, toThe Shadow. What inspired you to go back to that genre? I thought that the opening shootout was great, especially as it tried to do something a little different. It came from just exploring… and then I saw the 25th anniversary release and thought, Ooh my god it was so tame....

Ju-on White Ghost/Black Ghost DVD review

Dave checks out a pair of Ju-On titles on one disc: White Ghost and Black Ghost… Things are looking up for the first film on the disc. Were treated to a series of short chapters filling out the sixty minute run time. How many stories can we fit into sixty minutes? I make that eight stories in sixty minutes! Thats one story, on average, every seven and a half minutes....

Alex McDowell interview: designing Minority Report

Alex McDowell is one of Hollywoods most acclaimed production designers. Heres what he had to say… Lets start with perhaps an obvious question. Looking back atMinority Reportnow, what are your thoughts on the project? Theres a few things, really. It was a very important film for me because it really changed the way we worked. An accidental collision of time and technology and opportunity. Plus Spielberg was directing it, which empowered us....

Elvira Mistress Of The Dark DVD review

Elvira is waiting to see you on DVD. Anthony took up her invitation… If theres one thing American TV should be proud of spawning, its the B-movie horror host. The OTT ribald wit was making myAre You Being Served!alarm scream in, well, alarm. Then it clicked: the key to understanding the film that is, not the alarm. Pretend its aCarry On… And so I did. And I enjoyed it. Now take Kenneth Williams and divide him into the prude, reactionary townsfolk of Fallwell, Massachusetts....

How we got a Channel 4 Comedy Lab show made

Here’s how they did it… (Because, luckily, we also had the experience and the equipment to make a show.) Ad content continues below Also, we hired a soundman. And we started to say beats more than we ever did before. Were not bad people, but all of our first reactions were Are the rushes safe? Thankfully, they were. Classic burglars, thinking too short-term. Theyll take a laptop but not a hard drive…...

Morena Baccarin interview: V, Firefly, Serenity and Shakespeare

Presumably it all happened very suddenly for you? I auditioned on the same day I had the role, essentially. And I heard they were seeing a lot of girls. The casting director told me that. Im about to walk into the room and audition and you tell me that! And I got on a plane and went, and now Im here! Its generally the case, anyway. You go on a million auditions anyway as an actor, and one out of a hundred you get....

The Rookie Blu-ray review

Puvolski and Ackerman set out to bring down Strom. Lets cut to the chase here, then. None of the actors come out of this well. Its impossible to discuss this film on any level and not discuss the rape scene. The film also outstays its welcome considerably. Theres really no need for it to clock in at just over two hours. Sadly, this isnt enough to recommend this film thats so full of problems....

Furry Vengeance review

There are a few questions in life to which there are no real answers. Why is the sky blue? Why is Justin Bieber always a trending topic on Twitter? And what on earth has happened to Brendan Frasers career? He makes and produces movies likeFurry Vengeance, which is about to hit your local multiplex. A very intelligent racoon is about to thwart the plan and make his life and living hell....
