For a long time it seemed the only mainstream movies Britain ever made were rom-coms and gangster movies. In the last couple of years we’ve added urban thrillers to the mix, which have increasingly tended towards the horror end of the spectrum.

Comedown fits squarely in that bracket. Lloyd (Jacob Anderson) is fresh out of prison and his determination to go straight doesn’t last too long when he teams up with a group of other young people to set up a pirate radio station aerial on a deserted tower block. However the block isn’t as deserted as it appears. [Read more…]

BAFTA Orange Rising Star Nominees Announced

By Leave a Comment

The full nominations for the BAFTAs aren’t out until next week, but this morning the nominees for the Orange Rising Star Award were announced, so that the public can vote for the winner. So who’s up for the gong? Take a look below to find out…


Adam Deacon (Anuvahood, Kidulthood)


Chris Hemsworth (Thor)


Eddie Redmayne (My Week With Marilyn)


Tom Hiddleston (Thor)


Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids)

The nominees were whittled down from a longlist that also included Jessica Chastain, Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence. It’s already been noted that it’s an all male list this year, and it does seem slightly odd that the three people on the longlist who aren’t in the final nominees are the women, especially in the case of Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence, who’ve had incredible years.

What’s less noted is that for the first time, there are absolutely no Americans amongst the nominees.

The winner is picked by the public, so once you’ve decided who you want to walk away with the award, click here to vote. The winner will be announced on February 12th.

Orange BAFTA Rising Star Longlist Announced – Vote For Your Sexiest!

By Leave a Comment

Ok, ok, we know, the Orange BAFTA Rising Star Award isn’t about who’s the sexiest, it’s about honouring an up and coming young actor whose somewhat broken through in the last 12 months. Let’s face it though, they’re all hotties, and as this award is open to the public vote, you can pretty much guarantee that most of the votes won’t be given on pure acting merit (hence the impressive wooden Kristen Stewart winning a couple of years ago).

Of course, if you do decide to head over to the Orange Wednesday’s Rising Star Award site to say who you want to win, we recommend going for talent, but if you end up ticking Chris Hemsworth’s box just because he’s cute, nobody is going to know (I’m thinking of going fo Jessica Chastain, who put in remarkable performances in the likes of The Help and The Tree Of Life).

The longlist has been announced, and you can see all the entrants in our gallery below (click the pics to make them bigger). The first round of voting is now open, which will be used to whittle it down to a final five, who’ll be announced on January 11th. Orange customers will then be able to vote, and the winner will get their gong at the BAFTA Film Awards in February.

Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award Longlist:
Adam Deacon – Anuvahood, 4.3.2.1., Kidulthood
Chris Hemsworth – Thor, Star Trek
Felicity Jones – Like Crazy, Chalet Girl, The Tempest
Tom HIddleston – Thor, Midnight In Paris, The Deep Blue Sea
Jennifer Lawrence – X-Men: First Class, Like Crazy, The Beaver, Winter’s Bone
Chris O’Dowd – Bridesmaids, Gulliver’s Travel, Dinner For Schmucks
Jessica Chastain – The Help, The Debt, The Tree Of Life, Take Shelter
