But for me, I can’t look past her role in The King’s Speech.įor those who haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend that you do. The characters she plays in The Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Fight Club (and countless others) are always well thought out and command attention. I have even more respect for how she can so effortlessly play characters. I have a deep love for Helena as she plays my favourite character, Bellatrix Lestrange, in Harry Potter. Helena Bonham-Carter The King’s Speech (2010) Image: IMBD If you need an explainer on what that means, read this. Like most of Coppola’s films, it is also super camp. Overall, I think this film is worth a revisit. The exploration of young people being turned into sinister masterminds is thrilling and steeped in reality. The unnecessary lavishness, the obsession with celebrity status and the iconic branding of early 2000s celebrities (see: Paris Hilton). The film, in my opinion, captures everything about the social media world. It shows off her versatility as an actress. Her portrayal of the character Nicki is very strong and rather impressive. But, like Guns Akimbo, it was amazing to see Emma in a different role I think would actually sicken Hermione. Now listen, reviews to The Bling Ring were not kind at all. They sought after shoes, jewellery and clothes, hence the bling in the ring. This gang is comprised of high-school students who start breaking into celebrities homes to rob them. The Sofia Coppola film is based on the real-life gang known as The Bling Ring. That is certainly the truth with Emma Watson and her leading role in The Bling Ring. There is understandably a desire for actors to break away from characters they are most notable for playing. Emma Watson The Bling Ring (2013) Image: IMBD I also loved the whirlwind it takes you on. I know that Rotten Tomatoes would not be happy with my positive review but I think I just enjoyed watching Daniel play a completely different character from Harry. Guns Akimbo can be quite jarring and extremely cynical but I think that’s why I like it. This all happens at the start of the film too. As you can imagine, things start to get a bit complicated after that. Just because it can’t end there, his ex-girlfriend has been kidnapped. Once Miles awakes he finds himself with guns bolted to his hands. Riktor ain’t happy with Miles so he sends his home-boys to Miles’ apartment and knocks him out. In doing so, he catches the attention of Skizm ring-leader Riktor. The name still makes me laugh.īecause Miles is a troll, he has the genius idea to start trolling (very out of character for him). Miles finds himself in a bit of a sticky situation one night when he stumbles across a rather brutal online game called Skizm. Miles (Radcliff) is a video game developer who works for a video game company and basically spends all of his time on social media and enjoys trolling the trolls. In an intense satirical take on the internet world, particularly those who are addicted to it, Guns Akimbo is an intense (yep, double intense) roller-coaster of a film. Guns Akimbo could not have been a more different film from Harry Potter for Daniel to star in. There’s no need to feel ancient on a Friday afternoon.ĭaniel Radcliff Guns Akimbo (2019) Image: Guns Akimbo trailer Side note: ignore the fact that Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone came out 20 years ago. I know, crazy to think they aren’t just one character for their whole careers.
