Lighting The Shadows

BASED on one of television’s longest-running fantasy series, Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows takes a very different - and very funny - look at one of pop culture’s best-known vampires.

Starring Johnny Depp, this is a bloody laugh-fest filled with great one-liners and standout performances, but is that enough to win over the hardcore fans?

Scott Ellis, Beth Wilson and Marc Fenell take a look at what is sure to be a controversial (excuse me for this) revamp.

The Real Deal

The newest gung-ho action flick Act Of Valour is here, with real US Navy Seals acting and real bullets flying, but does it really work?

Like other movies where ordinary people have taken the place of professional actors, there are moments here where it all looks incredibly true to life and others where… well these guys are trained killers so lets just stop there.

Scott Ellis, Marc Fenell and Beth Wilson ask whether being the real deal is enough when it comes to acting a role.
