Clearly the only way to really promote Green Zone was to use the word Bourne in as many places possible, in the trailer, on posters in interviews and of course it’s the best way to promote Green Zone because the lead character looks him and according to the trailer acts like him but it’s just the [...]
This evening is the biggest night of the year when it comes to movies! Yes, that’s right, if you didn’t know already, tonight is the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony or The Oscars as they’re more affectionately known.Later on this evening we’ll find out of James Cameron’s Avatar, Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker or a ranked [...]

This evening we get to see all the stars turn out to the biggest night in the Hollywood calendar, that night is indeed the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony. As we gear up to cover the evening with the glitz and glamour that it deserves, we must realise how important it is to keep our feet [...]
Tonight’s the night. The 82nd Academy Awards are only hours away and despite the increase in number to ten Best Picture nominees, most of the hype and speculation has been around two films, James Cameron’s 3D spectacular Avatar, and Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker. So, to jump on a particularly crowded bandwagon, we’re asking you [...]
Future X-Cops is the new film directed by Wong Jing and starring Andy Lau. For those fans of Hong Kong cinema you will probably already be familiar with Andy Lau and Wong Jing but for those that are not I can recommend God of Gamblers (Wong Jing) and Infernal Affairs (starring Andy Lau and Tony [...]
Embedded below is a deleted scene from the Blu-Ray/DVD of Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air, released in the US on March 9th. The deleted scene is a montage that focuses on the period in the film when Ryan (George Clooney) is grounded in Omaha following the implementation of Natalie’s (Anna Kendrick) new system which [...]
To coincide with their Kick Ass themed Issue 28, our friends at Little White Lies had a competition asking it’s readers to create a six panel comic of their favourite film. The entries are really great and the eventual winner is David Rigby who created a comic based on Zombieland. The winning strip will appear [...]
With only hours to go before Hollywood’s great and good are presented with small, shiny statues, it seems fitting that I provide some predictions as to who will win. Over the course of the last few weeks, I have assembled an astonishingly large excel table. It details not only the winners of each Oscar over [...]
It is probably best to state up front for any fans of Banksy that the main subject of Exit Through The Gift Shop is not really Banksy. Although he appears on screen his face and voice are both masked and he is definitely not the true star of the film. The central character is a [...]
The early word of mouth on Disney’s latest, the live action Tim Burton directed Alice in Wonderland, was not overwhelmingly positive, and the curious news cycle of a possible cinema boycott in the UK and the US may have kept Alice in the news in the weeks running up to the film’s release yesterday, but [...]
This week I think we’ve OD’d on images from Prince of Persia: The Sands of time but this is a movie I’m really looking forward to so I hope you’ll bear with me! Wet Dark and Wild sent us some new images from the movie which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton and Ben Kingsley. This [...]
It’s that time of the week again when you can put your feet up and let the aural experience of a HeyUGuys Mouth Off podcast brighten your day.

13 years ago, Matt Damon managed to shoot himself into the A-list thanks to writing partner Ben Affleck, and collaboration Good Will Hunting. Or so he thought. Despite critical acclaim, and an Academy Award for the screenplay, Damon’s door wasn’t exactly being beaten down. He picked up some big parts here or there, but was [...]
So, this Sunday is probably the biggest movie night of the year when all the stars come out in force to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles to see if their movie has won an Academy Award. This year, we’ve got an unprecedented 10 movies up for best picture and you can [...]
Here’s an interesting short video that I wasn’t really sure which category to put it under on HeyUGuys. The title of the short documentary is ‘How Far Would You Go?’ and it features short interviews with directors, producers and actors and is inspired by Sony Playstation 3′s new game, Heavy Rain. The game focuses around [...]
Movies over the years have become standard in the way that they’re filmed and it takes a movie like CUT to come along with a simple idea that changes that and tries something completely new. The basic premise of the movie is that rather than cutting between shots from one camera to another, like you’d [...]
On the eve of the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, with Avatar’s Oscar hopes either to be realised or dashed this Sunday night, 3D technology is finding its feet with cinema and critical audiences right now. It has become part of the discussion on the future of cinema, and opinions are raging on [...]
We all love a bit of Police Academy…. don’t we?! 7 films was a bit too much but the first couple were genius. It was new, riske and exciting. The cast which included Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall, G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith, George Gaynes, David Graf and Leslie Easterbrook as Sgt. Callahan, was excellent and the [...]
Got some conflicting news reported this morning from Entertainment Weekly who have caught up with Rome creator Bruno Heller.
