New Red-Band Trailer for The Kings of Summer
Previously titled Toy’s House, The Kings of Summer premiered at Sundance at the start of the year, and earned brilliant reviews as a wonderful coming-of-age comedy, powered by terrific performances from its young leading cast.

The HeyUGuys Interview: Aziz Ansari & Chris O’Dowd on Epic, Animated Films and…Short Circuit?!
Aziz Ansari and Chris O’Dowd are arguably two of the most talked about comedic actors working today. They star in two of TV’s most critically-acclaimed shows (PARKS AND RECREATION, GIRLS) and they each have very devoted fan bases. In EPIC, the two actors star as Mub and Grub – a slug and snail who are [...]

Cannes 2013: Monsoon Shootout Review
Adi (Vijay Varma) arrives full of idealistic enthusiasm for his first day as a cop, but he quickly learns that the police force may not be the honest guardians of justice that he thought they were. He’s quickly embroiled in the deep rooted corruption of the police department when he’s instructed to cover up the [...]
Something in the Air Review
In a similar vein to his most recent project Carlos, renowned French filmmaker Olivier Assayas returns with Something in the Air, yet again proving his distinct talent for placing the viewer in a particular period, and immersing us within this world unbeknown to our own, as a director who has a real knack for finding [...]
Cannes 2013: Inside Llewyn Davis Review
The Greenwich Village Folk scene of the early sixties provides the setting for the Coen Brothers’ wonderfully meandering portrait of a struggling folk musician. The folk setting does not define Inside Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) though, Llewyn is in many ways more a representative of artists in general and in particular one struggling to have [...]
The Hangover Part III Review
If you speak to just about anyone over the age of 30, they’ll tell you that hangovers get worse with age. Well, on this evidence, they’re right, as we get ready to step back into Todd Phillips’ The Hangover franchise, with the third and – thankfully – final addition to the celebrated comedy. Having survived [...]
Cannes 2013: Behind the Candelabra Review
Whilst Side Effects has received a lot of publicity for potentially being Steven Soderbergh’s last film, the HBO produced Behind the Candelabra is currently playing in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and will receive a theatrical release throughout Europe next month. ‘TV Movies’ have played Cannes before and they will no doubt play here [...]
Cannes 2013: Takashi Miike’s Wara No Tate Review
Takashi Miike returns to Cannes with perhaps his most conventional film yet, an overblown but highly entertaining thriller about five cops transporting a despicable child murderer across Japan. Tatsuya Fujiwara, who is perhaps best know in the West for his portrayal of the naive and sweet Nanahara in Kinji Fukasaku’s Battle Royale, plays Kiyomaru, the [...]
Epic Review
Rivalling DreamWorks and Pixar animation studios is certainly no easy task, but Blue Sky Studios are triumphantly getting along with things, consistently making a profit on their reasonable back catalogue. Boasting the likes of Rio and the popular Ice Age franchise, they now return with Chris Wedge’s Epic, an adventure in the Honey, I Shrunk [...]
Cannes 2013: La Danza de la Realidad Review
Jodorowsky returns with his first feature film in over twenty years – his last being the rather disappointing and atypical The Rainbow Thief – the bewitching La Danza de la Realidad (The Dance of Reality). An adaptation of his autobiographical book of the same name La Danza de la Realidad is obviously a deeply personal [...]

Star Trek Into Darkness: Mediocrity Gets A Familiar Face
The blockbuster season has started. It might not be summer quite yet, but already we have seen some of this year’s biggest movies released into theatres.
