R.I.P. Heath
When I opened my email and found a message with the header "Heath Ledger found dead in New York" lurking in my Inbox, I hoped it was all a sick joke. But it's not and I feel far sadder than I've done with many celebrity deaths. Ledger was one of the very few twenty-something actors I cared about, and I was looking forward to him having a long and interesting career. Alas that it's not to be.
Brokeback Mountain aside, the Ledger movies I adore most are A Knight's Tale, with it's crazy anachronisms and splendid swashbuckling, and The Four Feathers, which takes a dated tale of English colonialism and makes of it something much more interesting.

As Harry Faversham in The Four Feathers
