    Yeah yeah yeah, she wrote Juno. But what about her stripper years, eh? We present you with this Tuesday’s nutritional info-nugget: a cheat sheet dedicated to blogger-turned-award-winning-screen-writer, Diablo Cody. And it turns out Diablo isn’t her actual name. TIP OF THE ICEBERG, MY IGNORANT FRIENDS.


  • Cheat Sheet: John Lasseter

    Over the years we have sat back with our families, with various sugary goods, and have indulged ourselves in some quality CGI filled entertainment courtesy of Pixar. But who do we rave about when they’re over? Well it certainly isn’t the man who made it all possible. Let us appreciate this unsung hero by looking over his years of achievement in the world of family entertainment. Ladies and gentlemen, this is John Lasseter’s Cheat Sheet.


  • Cheat Sheet: David Yates

    It must be a right pain in the proverbial to be one of those directors who is only known for one project. Sure, that project may be the last four films in the Harry Potter franchise and has made him very rich and very famous – but let’s spare a thought for those nineteen years prior to Hogwarts with this week’s David Yates Cheat Sheet shall we?


  • Cheat Sheet: Brendan Gleeson

    One of those “Isn’t he the one from…” actors, Brendan Gleeson has been consistently delivering great performances for nearly twenty years, without ever really getting major recognition outside of industry circles. Perhaps with his current release The Guard getting glowing reviews, and with his directorial debut At Swim-Two-Birds in pre-production, he’ll finally be rooted in the public consciousness. Lord knows he deserves it.

  • Cheat Sheet: Brad Bird

    He’s been the driving force behind some of the most elegant and successful animated films of all time, he’s won two Oscars in four years, and now he’s taking over the Mission: Impossible franchise from J.J. Abrams. Who is this miracle man (don’t be misled by his surname, sexist 1970s chaps, he is indeed a man)? Read on!


  • Cheat Sheet: Bradley Cooper

    This week our faithful cheat sheet looks at the ever rising star that is Bradley Cooper. Between his love of cooking, helping inner-city children, being fluent in French, his adorable pet dogs and his general talent at ACTING we cannot say a bad word about him. Disgusting, isn’t it?


  • Cheat Sheet: Michael Fassbender

    This week we’ve decided to give the much under-appreciated Michael Fassbender a little cheat sheet of his own. The multi-accented, bi-lingual, self-starving (only for a role) actor is having a pretty good time of it at the moment, so it’s time to see how he’s got there, and where he’s going.



  • Cheat Sheet: Shane Black

    Shane Black. Does this name mean something to you? If it doesn’t, then make it your business to brush up on this witty American writer, director, producer and all round king of blockbuster action movies. Come closer children and sample our lovely Cheat Sheet….
