LIAM NEESON IS A PROPER ACTOR, aint he? We know it, we know it in our heart of hearts. And yet, if we’re honest, it’s been a long road since the jolly old days of Schindler’s List. Can we forgive an Irish scamp The Next Three Days? Wrath Of The Titans? Attack Of The Clones? And more importantly, d’ya think Helen Mirren ever got over him dumping her? Oh that’s right, we’re getting to the proper stuff, it must be CHEAT SHEET O’CLOCK.

Oh sure, everybody knows that James Cameron loves going crazy with his special effects. And, sure, everyone knows that he had something to do with Titanic… but what ELSE do you know about tempestuous Captain Jim, eh? Exactly. Prepare for an iceberg of knowledge to sink (and destroy) your preconceptions on one of the most influential men in Hollywood…

He’s only just gone and directed universally foamed-about The Hunger Games, hasn’t he? But did you know he also wrote Big? And Pleasantville? And LASSIE (sort of)? And that he only got his break because he won a pot-load of cash on a game-show? JEEPERS you’ve got a lot to learn about man of the moment Gary Ross. CHEAT-SHEET, I choose YOU.

How much do you really know about one time Funky Bunch leader and current star of Contraband Mark Wahlberg? Eh? Eh? Well prepare to know a whole lot less with this week’s Cheat Sheet, detailing all the things you never wanted to know about Marky Mark….

He’s got another mediocre action film out – in this one he plays the grizzled vet to Ryan Reynolds’ wet-behind-the-ears n00b, so THAT’s new and exciting! – and more in the pipeline – has Denzel Washington forgotten the power and flair which won him two Oscars? No, actually, he hasn’t. Hang on, what do you mean you didn’t know about the two Oscars? Nurse – give this patient a Cheat Sheet, stat.

It’s hard not to like Woody Harrelson, isn’t it? Until the recently-released Rampart, he’d never blown us away with his performances, but has maintained a amiable screen presence for the last 20 years. We take a glimpse into the life of the self-proclaimed ‘Hollywood hippie.’

What do The Muppets, Ali G and Flight Of The Conchords all have in common? Apart from the occasional bit of humourous racism, we mean? Why the STICKY TOUCH of James Bobin, of course! Co-creator of Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous character, creative brain behind the Conchords’ TV success and director of The Muppets – how on earth has this bloke stayed under our radar for so long? Probably the racist stuff, to be honest. CHEAT SHEET!

He’s got an Oscar nomination, a fantastic new film in cinemas and a talent for playing creatively terrifying characters. So why have you barely heard of him? This week the Cheat Sheet celebrates John Hawkes, an actor who has finally come in from the cold to the reception he deserves.

She was in Monster! She was in those J’Adore adverts! She’s… she’s… wait, she’s South African? You don’t know nearly enough about Charlize Theron, and frankly its getting on our nerves. With the release of Young Adult just around the corner, it’s time you stopped hopefully googling disgusting words about her and got to grips with some cold, hard facts.

Coriolanus is out! It hasn’t been nominated for any Oscars (because it was released too late, but let’s not split hairs)! Ralph Fiennes is on the warpath (probably)! And just think what a man who takes Auschwitz in his stride would do to you if you bumped into him and mispronounced his name? READ THIS CHEAT SHEET QUICKLY, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
