UK Movie / Film Blog for News / Reviews
It has been an excellent year for British film, with the big screen playing host to some intriguing debuts from new directors and writers as well as giving some of the country’s finest new actors a chance to shine. Just over a year since the disbanding of the UK Film Council it is gratifying that [...]
Quentin Dupieux is back! No, I’m not sure who he is either but nevertheless I’m intrigued. His previous effort called Rubber – a film reported as being an exercise in ‘intellectual w**kery’ and B-movie tackyness – was well received and concerning as it did a murderous car tyre with homicidal intent how could it not [...]
Spare us a thought. We pitiful writers (do please pity us) subsist on a meagre diet of set images, teaser images, trailers, teaser trailers and recently teaser images for the teaser trailer for the trailer (see here and here for a hearty dose of overkill). Yes, it seems that we are doomed to a life [...]
The sound of those rapid-fire, squeaky voices are enough to send some grown-ups running for the hills. Others will take a deep breath and prepare for the super-cute onslaught at the cinema – there has been a two-year respite after all. But once you’ve tuned into the inane Chipmunk banter, film three in the series, [...]
Without a doubt, Sir David Attenborough is one of the many reasons we are proud to call ourselves British. Odd as that may sound, we all know it’s true. He has an instantly recognisable voice, and when the latest of his documentaries begins, we flock to our television screens and cannot get enough. This year [...]
A little over two years ago, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel graced the screen together in what became one of the best indie sleeper hits in years, (500) Days of Summer. The two were already rising stars at the time, and the brilliance of the film boosted their careers even further, with Gordon-Levitt going on [...]
When done well, zombies entertain us cinemagoers and TV viewers alike to no end, and sometimes for very different reasons. In Shaun of the Dead, we got a brilliant horror-comedy from the likes of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright, that was by far the best film of its kind I’ve ever seen, before [...]
Always more content when punching dreadlocked aliens, physical manifestations of the antichrist and pretty much everyone to death than when using ‘ideas’, ‘rhetoric’ and ‘any semblance of intelligence’ to get things done, it did indeed seem strange when Arnie was elected Governor of California in 2003. After slowly departing into his tenure in politics through [...]
Back in April the trailer for Spanish language comedy Casa De Mi Padre promised us a whole cavalcade of Español inflected film fun including more Pasión, Aventura, Parcela, Traición, Sexo, Peligro, Romance, Pistolas, Cigarrillos, Efectos Especiales, Relajeses and Will Ferrell-o than one would wish to shake a Palo at. It all looked very stylish and [...]
In recent years we have seen Hollywood tap a variety of different resources in its ongoing search for new ideas. Stopping just short of sticking its hand down the side of the sofa and rummaging for loose inspiration, Tinseltown has instead chosen to adapt everything from the usual books, video games and television shows, to [...]
As someone who thinks that 2008’s In Bruges was the best thing ever ever. Ever. The release of the first set of images from the set of Martin McDonagh’s follow up effort Seven Psychopaths fills me with unspeakable excitement. That they constitute mostly shots of Colin Farrell getting boozed up whilst renowned oddball Christopher Walken [...]
In the past month, we’ve seen some terrific things from Disney’s upcoming John Carter. At the very end of last month, we saw the film’s first full-length trailer, and it gave us such an impressive new look at the film. Since then, we’ve seen a great set of posters, two brilliant TV spots, a new image [...]
Danny Trejo has a credits list longer than probably any well-known actor I can remember seeing, making a name for himself as being tougher than a coffin nail on screen. Best known for his frequent collaborations with Robert Rodriguez, the actor also has leading and smaller roles in much lesser-known films, and the upcoming Bad [...]
Ever since the heady days of ‘the lean’ rom-com posters have been suitably low on inspiration. Not a day went by where you didn’t see Matthew McConaughey leaning toward some hire-a-face actress who in turn was leaning toward him. Oh how they leaned! The only thing stopping them from collapsing into a self satisfied heap [...]
*Spoiler Warning* If you want to stay spoiler-free for the Nolan brothers’ epic conclusion to their Batman trilogy, you may want to look away now. This month, we’ve seen some terrific new things from next year’s The Dark Knight Rises, one of the most highly anticipated films of 2012, including the awesome first character poster [...]
With 2011 preparing to live happily ever after, Walt Disney Pictures has turned its attention to its current slate of upcoming releases, according to Coming Soon. As the notoriously slow animation process pushes new projects to the farthest reaches of 2013, the studio’s next conceivable release will now likely be Frozen, a long-gestating adaptation of [...]
Already pencilled in as an Oscar contender with a release at the end of next year, news surrounding Tom Hooper’s follow-up to The King’s Speech with Les Misérables has just been getting better and better. Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman will be taking the roles of the male co-leads Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert respectively, [...]
Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers is without a doubt one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, and in the past few months, we’ve been treated to plenty of brilliant images, posters, and that all-important first trailer that took the Internet by storm back in October. Truly, it made the film look even [...]
Lee Daniels began lining up a terrific cast for his follow-up to the Oscar-winning Precious earlier this year, when Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey, Tobey Maguire, and Sofía Vergara were announced as coming on board The Paperboy. After a bit of a cast change-up, switching Maguire for John Cusack and Vergara for Nicole Kidman, and adding [...]
Christmas Day may have been and gone but we’re still feeling very festive here at HeyUGuys and since we’re still in the twelve days of Christmas, we thought it would be a lovely idea to show off five different clips from five of the Harry Potter movies that celebrate this festive time of year! All [...]
