Legend Movie Review

No twin brothers could be more different than Reggie and Ronald Kray and Hardy plays them both so effectively with only small make up tricks and big acting chops. Browning plays Frances Shea a girl from around the neighbourhood who falls in love with and eventually marries brother Reggie. The story told through her eyes gives the proceedings a more human tone and gives the tale a feel of authenticity that is tinged with great sadness. This approach helps raise the film above being a mere ...

Crimson Peak Movie Review

It must be said that the film looks fantastic and features visuals never before seen but the plot and action staging is so predictable, it drains all the energy out of the experience. In some genres this would not drive the knife into the heart but with the horror/thriller genre nothing is worse than predictability.

Your performance was very well nuanced and your comic timing was excellent, how comfortable does comedy come to you? “Thank you. Acting in comedy is fairly new to me.

I had to represent a normal point of view for the audience to relate to and for the other characters to bounce off. ...
