Mak wrote the screenplay for the original movie, Infernal [...]
Sky Movies have had the honour of debuting the first UK poster for new Dreamworks movie, Puss in Boots. By all accounts we thought this movie was going to be a flop when it was first announced but after seeing about 10 or 15 minutes of it at the Big Screen event a few weeks [...]

It seems to be the way things are going now but to be honest, I can’t really blame the studios for re-releasing classic movies back into cinemas. After seeing Back to the Future earlier in the year, and it becoming one of my all-time best cinematic experiences, I am well up for them putting movies [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted a trailer for the new Martin Scorsese documentary based on the life of George Harrison.

This had me in hysterics so much so that it needed to go up in its own post!

Here we go again people! It’s Hollywood yet again admitting defeat when it comes to original ideas as we hear news that Alcon is to remake 1991 movie Point Break directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. I guess there is no way you can go wrong with an FBI agent [...]
Asian cinema is probably best known, at least internationally, for being especially good at making three types of films: cute cuddly animated films, nightmare-worthy horror films, and brutally physical action films. The latest film coming out of Indonesia is The Raid, debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend to a very impressed [...]
When you have a director going by the name ‘Bobcat’, you instantly get the sense that there’s something pretty excellent about the man, and undoubtedly the same can be said for his work. The first poster for Bobcat Goldthwait’s next film, God Bless America, has landed courtesy of HitFix, and the film has just had [...]
Better late than never I suppose… Recently I had the chance to sit down with two of the stars of Fright Night, Gary Gillespie’s remake of the 1985 Tom Holland horror comedy in which a retired ghost hunter is recruited by two local teens to rid their town of the local vamp. Anton Yelchin is [...]

It’s July and it’s raining. Welcome to Edinburgh, where the city’s 65th annual International Film Festival is well underway. HeyUGuys is at Teviot House to talk Norwegian folklore with André Øvredal, director of Troll Hunter. Inspired one day to write a story featuring his native trolls, Øvredal was struck by the narrative possibilities inherent in structuring [...]
It seems the pattern is NOT full Ghostrider! I was six when Top Gun came out back in 1986 (my age spoiler right there) and unfortunately for me, neither my mum nor dad saw fit to take me along to my local cinema in Sutton to watch one of the all time classic Simpson / [...]
Warner Bros. have released this new ‘Special Content Trailer’ which seems to be a cross between a trailer and a featurette.
