Your votes were counted, totted up, and in the magazine – on sale Thursday 22 December, and available to order online here – we take a deep dive into the resulting list, speaking to the stars themselves, gathering tributes from the directors that worked with them, and much more. And on top of that, you have to have that thing that can’t really be learned, or taught – a charisma, a command of the camera, an energy that enlivens even the most stellar script, and makes audiences flock to the multiplex in their droves.įor Empire’s February 2023 issue, we asked readers to vote for the best actors of all time – the silver-screen stars that always deliver, that have changed the game, and whose distinctive talents can never be replicated. Plus, you have to be able to take that technical mastery and apply it across multiple genres, from quiet character dramas to epic action-packed blockbusters. For one, you have to be able to act – to really inhabit a character’s deepest emotions, to step into their skin so that the words on the page come across as lived and felt. Ever since there have been movies, there have been movie stars – and becoming one of the world’s greatest actors involves being able to be many things at once.

We follow Peretur as she grows and follows her destiny. Man, Spear is slim, gorgeous retelling of Arthurian lore, breathing new life not only into the leading character of Sir Percival-here named Peretur-but to others as well. (Thank you to NetGalley and Tor for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review!) – You need need some knowledge of King Arthur legends to really appreciate what Griffith has done here – Sometimes Peretur is a little too talented, and this isn’t balanced until later on – If you need your books to constantly entertain you, you won’t like this – Retelling with effort to represent underrepresented groups – Compact and concise without ever feeling too short – Genuinely feels like reading a legend or myth – Thoughtful, seamless blending of numerous King Arthur legends Implied rape of a supporting character (historical.)

Published by Macmillan Publishers | Tor.com Imprint Griffith’s genderbent/swapped retelling of Sir Percival from the legends of King Arthur is a breath of fresh air wrought in lyrical prose-but it won’t impress every reader. Ducks is an account of the two years Beaton spent (beginning in 2005) working in the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, a far-off planet to which she travelled from her beloved home in Nova Scotia for the sole purpose of paying off her student loans (in these booming wildernesses, the money is too good for a humanities student from a small rural community to refuse). How do men behave when women are (mostly) not around? Alas, the answer is: not terribly well. Her story, which runs to more than 400 pages, encompasses not only such thorny matters as social class and environmental destruction it may be the best book I have ever read about sexual harassment. But its mood overall is deeply melancholic. Yes, it’s funny at moments Beaton’s low-key wryness is present and correct, and her drawings of people are as charming and as expressive as ever. K ate Beaton’s new graphic memoir, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, is, I think, going to come as something of a surprise to her fans, for it could hardly be more different in tone from her popular larky strip Hark! A Vagrant, in which she gently sends up historical figures such as Napoleon and Ada Lovelace. Additionally, the family owned paintings by Picasso and Matisse, which burn during the fire. McClellan used to listen to poetry on a regular basis, as is evidenced by the scene with the voice reading poetry in the study. The family also had artistic preferences regarded as cultivated or fine by contemporary standards. For example, the fact that the house serves a lot of hearty, standard American foods (such as pancakes, bacon, eggs, and toast) suggests that the McClellans’ were, at least in some ways, a typical middle or upper class family. Readers never meet the McClellans, but they learn more about them based on how the house caters to their needs. The white silhouettes of the McClellan father, mother, son, and daughter appear on the side of the house as a reminder of happier times. This is the family that lived in the house before the nuclear explosion (they are dead before the story begins but referenced throughout). |
