In a show brimming with death-conquering ice demons, moody-teen dragons, and numerous squabbling kings, the Game of Thrones actors must rise to the occasion and produce phenomenally over-the-top performances to be noticed above the chaos.
The vast majority of stars in the show were unknown before they were swept along on the Thrones ride, so this is their big chance to make a lasting impression, and they’d be mad not to take it. Over-actors aren’t necessarily bad actors, not at all. It’s just all about taking the role far beyond what anybody could’ve expected.
Thrones is full of intense characters and the actors hired to play them often don’t hold back when it comes to making sure every second of screen time is a second spent living and breathing as the character. Here are the 10 actors and actresses who take (or took) their roles to the extreme…...

★★★★☆ A prime example of the complications faced by Russian films attempting to find UK support, Aleksei Balabanov's The Stoker (Kochegar, 2010) is released after three years in distribution limbo. Best known domestically for Brother (1997) and Brother 2 (2000), Balabanov is an eccentric and unpredictable director whose work, up until now, has seldom managed to escape the festival circuit. Set in 1995 in post-Soviet Saint Petersburg, The Stoker's eponymous, elderly boiler worker (the late Mikhail Skryabin) spends his days locked away in a cramped recess of an apartment block shovelling coal to keep its three furnaces burning.
In his spare time he tells stories to local children about the war, continues writing his manuscript about Russian persecution of the Yakuts and engages in small talk with his former army comrades (now local gangsters) who use his furnace as an opportune way to discard inconvenient corpses. However, just like in the story he's composing about oppression and enforced 'Russiafication',...

Claire Foy stars as 18 year old Erin Matthews in Peter Kosminsky's new four-part drama serial The Promise, a powerful tale of love, war and betrayal, telling the stories of Erin and Len - two young people caught up in the same struggle more than 60 years apart.
Just as 18-year-old Londoner Erin sets off to spend summer in Israel with her best friend, Eliza, she unearths an old diary belonging to her seriously ill grandfather, Len. Intrigued by the life of this old man she barely knows, she takes the diary with her, and is stunned to learn of his part in the post-wwii British peace-keeping force in what was then Palestine.
Left to her own devices when Eliza begins National Service in the Israeli army, Erin witnesses the complexities of life - for both Jews and Arabs - in this troubled land. And as Len's story comes to life...

Review by Alan Kelly
Dweller is the first book I’ve read by Jeff Strand & an extremely satisfying introduction it is to this authors work. Try and imagine Clive King’s Stig of the Dump – about a little boy who meets a caveman behind his house - scripted by Daniel Clowes and optioned for adaptation by Lucky McGee (May) and your already halfway into the blood-soaked woods of Dweller.
Toby is a solitary child, prone to wandering off and dreaming up outlandish fantasies. The boy is mercilessly bullied in school by two older boys, has a father who would prefer to take a belt to him than sit down and talk to the boy and doesn’t even have a single friend – until he meets a cave dwelling Troglodyte in the woods surrounding his house. At first the petrified child flees and forgets the encounter...
