2 New Posters for Edgar Wright’s The World’s End with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
The world’s ending in a number of films this summer, and thankfully one of those films is the long-awaited conclusion to the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy that began with Shaun of the Dead and continued with Hot Fuzz. We’ve had a good few years for the anticipation to rise on this one, and naturally we’re incredibly [...]
Epic New Character Posters for Superman, Jor-El & Zod in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel
Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel is undeniably one of the year’s most anticipated films, and you’d better believe that it’s going to live up to the brilliant hype that Warner Bros. have been building around it. With less than a month before it hits theatres, the studio has started to release the first character posters [...]
New TV Spot for Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg & Mark Ruffalo – ‘The Debunker’
Louis Leterrier’s magician-based blockbuster thriller Now You See Me will be hitting theatres in the US next Friday, and I’m incredibly excited about its arrival. The film boasts one of the year’s best casts, and all that we’ve seen so far suggests that it’s going to be of the year’s best movies as well. Summit [...]
Awesome New Trailer Hits for The Wolverine
The Wolverine is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The summer blockbuster sees Hugh Jackman reprising one of his best-known roles, and with less than three months to go before it hits the big screen, the anticipation is running on high. We saw an epic first teaser trailer earlier in the year, [...]
Haunting Trailer and New Poster for Ben Wheatley’s A Field in England
Ben Wheatley’s films are always worth looking out for and his forthcoming A Field in England looks no different. The trailer we have for you today paints a dour and frantic picture of the effects of war with some intriguing surrealism shining through the cracks. The film has made headlines across the world for its [...]
New Clip from The Internship with Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson – Google Says No to Love
There are a number of brilliant comedies coming out this summer, and Shawn Levy’s The Internship is definitely one of the ones I’m looking forward to most. The film sees Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reuniting for the first time since Wedding Crashers. And, needless to say, I can’t wait to see the comedy duo [...]
The HeyUGuys Interview: Colin Farrell Talks Epic, Saving Mr. Banks and Martin McDonagh
Anytime you get a chance to talk to Colin Farrell, you take it. So that’s exactly what we did. The actor appears in EPIC, a new animated film from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios. Farrell plays Ronin, the leader of an army of rather small soldiers called the Leafmen, who are tasked with [...]
The HeyUGuys Interview: Saoirse Ronan talks blood, guts and vampires for new movie Byzantium
When predicting the future of some of the brightest young stars in world cinema, there are few who have the genuine potential to go on to achieve as much success as Saoirse Ronan, and the already Oscar nominated Irish actress (Atonement) now stars alongside Gemma Arteton, in Neil Jordan’s dark and supernatural thriller Byzantium. Ronan, [...]

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 [...]
Cannes 2013: Jeune & Jolie Review
François Ozon, the former enfant terrible of French Cinema, returns after his career best In the House with a rather sedate, even if it is occasionally mildly provocative, character study into the sexual awakening of a seventeen year-old girl. Isabelle, the girl in question, is played by Marine Vacth, an actress for who this will [...]
Cannes 2013: Heli Review
A depressing insight into a poor family in Mexico makes for uneasy if occasionally powerful viewing in Heli, Amat Escalante’s third feature following Sangre in 2005 and Los bastardos in 2008. Heli is named after its central character, a poor young man who works at a local Japanese Automobile factory and lives with his partner, [...]
Cannes 2013: The Bling Ring Review
Based on real events and inspired by an article in Vanity Fair, Sofia Coppola’s latest directorial turn concerns itself with those that emulate the kind of characters she has previously devoted whole films to; Dorff’s Johnny Marco in Somewhere, Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette and to a lesser extent Bill Murray’s Bob Harris in Lost [...]

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. Iron Man Three, Oblivion, and Fast and Furious 6 have all entertained and frustrated audiences in equal measure. The biggest success so far, critically at least, is Star Trek [...]
Six of the Best Tarantino Scenes
The films of Quentin Tarantino offer many potential choices when you’re compiling a collection with the title you see above. The obvious choices spring gleefully to mind: the countless bodies falling at the sword of The Bride in the slaughter of The Crazy 88, the final stand off between Mr White, Nice Guy Eddie and [...]
Six Of The Best: Clint Eastwood Acting Performances
Having already looked at Clint Eastwood’s prodigious output as a director, with genuinely top drawer work spread across the past forty years, it seems like a good time to look at his work as an actor too as his latest film, Trouble with the Curve, is out on DVD now. After his first significant big [...]
Film Geeks at the Theatre: The Hot House by Harold Pinter
Earlier this week we launched our Film Geeks at the Theatre strand on the site. As the title suggests, it’s a(n irregular) series of articles that look at theatre through the eyes of those of us who only, really know movies. It seems only appropriate to follow this up with a review of The Hot [...]
Rear View Mirror: A Journey Through The Fast and the Furious Series So Far…
Truth be told, up until very recently, not only had I not seen a single The Fast and the Furious movie, I wasn’t really in any great rush to do so either. I’d heard from various sources that the first outing was an over the top piece of guilty fun, but after that they all [...]

The HeyUGuys Interview: Amanda Seyfried talks Epic, Seth MacFarlane and Her Dream Role
Amanda Seyfried is clearly a standout in the realm of young leading ladies with huge roles in films like LES MISERABLES, MAMMA MIA!, and JENNIFER’S BODY. We got a chance to sit down with her as part of our coverage of Fox’s new animated film, EPIC. Seyfried plays MK, a young girl who goes off [...]
Cannes 2013: Donnie Yen Interview – Iceman Cometh, A Sequel and Turning Down The Expendables
With thirty years working in film and a number of highly successful martial arts movies under his belt Donnie Yen has been at various times an actor, director, producer, action choreographer and even medal winning martial artist. Yen was in Cannes to promote his upcoming film Iceman Cometh 3D and I was lucky enough to [...]
The HeyUGuys Interview: Composer Lucas Vidal Talks Fast and Furious 6

Interviews from the Arrested Development Season 4 Netflix Premiere
This evening London’s Leicester Square played host to the premiere of a TV show that has been off-air for 7 years but one that we and many others have wanted to see return. That show is of course Arrested Development. Many of the shows favourites including Alia Shawkat, Michael Cera, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and [...]
