If the title doesn’t get you first, the promise of ‘a comedy set in a brothel’ ought to. Think ‘Scottish Four Lions’ for deadpan underdog calamities, and you get the idea. Writer-director Wayne Thallon’s 2011 Edinburgh Film Festival closer, A Spanking In Paradise, is a spankin’, swind screamer of pure shant lunacy, right from the [...]
Following a borderline extermination in a nameless small town, wannabe cowboy Mortimer (David A. Lockhart) ups sticks to another identikit Western village – via the unapologetically named Whiskeytown – in order to trap a supposed rapist Indian (Rick Mora) and collect the substantial bounty in return. Purchasing a young woman (Camille Montgomery) to use as [...]
We got a scorcher of a first trailer for the upcoming Bunraku last month that showed Josh Hartnett absolutely on top of his game in this little-known, but highly anticipated, film. We then got a poster that looks simply awesome at the start of the month, and now we have a great new clip, entitled [...]

Honestly, no one does it better than Pixar. However, over the last few years I’ve found myself slipping out of love with the studio. I just chalked it up to me getting older and out of touch. The fact is I think the films the studio has been focusing on have been mediocre at best. [...]
When I wrote about this film back in February of 2010 it was to announce the casting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, then fresh from his Watchmen duties. I hadn’t seen anything other than the general synopsis for the film and drew a comparison with Zodiac, something that this new trailer appears to compound. Morgan teams [...]
Zoe Saldana is Luc Besson’s latest leading lady and this tale of revenge and gunplay comes to us on the 9th of September from the hands of Olivier Megaton. We’ve seen the film and reviewed it here and it’s unlikely you’ll see this poster in the wild so it’s interesting to bring this to you [...]
I recently caught up with what I had assumed would be the final instalment of John Rambo’s adventures, the imaginatively titled “Rambo”. Like pretty much everyone else that has seen it, I was profoundly disappointed and hoped it would be a final nail in the coffin rather than a set of jump-leads for an attempted [...]
We seem to find ourselves further and further off into the distance when it comes to discussing comic book properties these days.

Following on from the trailer released a week or so ago, we get the first poster for the new Harold & Kumar movie, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas. The movie stars John Cho, and Kal Penn in their roles as Harold and Kumar. A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas will be hitting in 3d [...]
One of the reasons I assume most people waited hours in line at todays Walt Disney Studios panel was to see “The Avengers.” Once we sat down in the D23 Arena, they made us wait for 2 ½ hours before giving us anything. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Kevin Feige came [...]

Earlier this week I caught up with John Michael McDonagh, writer and director of the critically worshipped comedy of the year The Guard. He let HeyUGuys pick his brains about what makes him tick as a writer, how he feels about his prolific playwright brother Martin and how he managed to really capture the subtly [...]
With filming now underway on Zack Synder’s Superman reboot, The Man of Steel, it’s little surprise that set photos are beginning to leak out showing some of the film’s locations. OK, so they’re not quite as thrilling as that first shot of Henry Cavill in character, but they still give us a glimpse at what [...]
We’ve had a few bits and bobs for Colombiana already, which looks like a pretty excellent action-lead for the once and future Uhuru (Zoe Saldana), you can read our review here. We’ve also shared what we know so far of Rod Lurie’s upcoming remake of Sam Peckinpah’s notorious Straw Dogs, which may or may not [...]
Summit have treated us to some nice new images from the fourth movie in the Twilight franchise, which has the title, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1. These new pics are all from pre-wedding and the honeymoon where Bella and Edward head off to Brazil, ride a speedboat and make a baby. It’s all fun in [...]
