    nightmare before christmas video vault logo

    As the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington spends his entire year planning for the next Halloween.  As a matter of fact, his entire town of Halloweentown does the same thing.  His latest stint as king has Jack questioning his place in life and after the events of Halloween are over, a somber Jack heads out for [...]

    Video Vault: Bullitt

    video vault bullitt thumb

    Our Video Vault column is normally devoted to those films that we love and that we’ve seen dozens and dozens of times.  I personally haven’t written one on what is considered to be a classic that I’ve only just watched for the first time recently.  Until now that is. Recently it occurred to me that [...]

    Beginners Review

    Beginners Poster

    Back on April 21st, HeyUGuys was able to attend opening night of the 54th annual San Francisco Film Festival.  We also got a chance to see the film that kicked off the two week event, Mike Mills’ Beginners. Written and directed by Mills, the film follows Oliver (Ewan McGregor) as he navigates life right after [...]

    SFIFF

    As a follow up to our post regarding opening night of the San Francisco Film Festival we’ve been given a couple of videos from the even to share with you. The first is taken from the red carpet and speaks with SFFS Executive Director Graham Leggat and Programming Director Rachel Rosen as well as Mike [...]

    San Francisco International Film Festival Opening Night

    SFIFF

    April 21, 2011 was a special date for two reasons.  Firstly, that date marked the opening night of the 54th annual San Francisco International Film Festival.  Secondly, it marked the first appearance for HeyUGuys at this particular festival.  We were lucky enough to be invited to this prestigious event and jumped at the chance to [...]

    Remembering John Hughes

    John Hughes

    I was thinking recently about how long it’s been since we lost John Hughes.  It’s been roughly a year and half, but at times it feels like a lot longer than that, and at others it doesn’t.  Strange thing, time.  The film industry lost a real legend that day and even though he had stepped [...]

    An Open Letter to All Moviegoers

    movie-theater

    Dear Moviegoers, After going to the movies not once, not twice, but three times last weekend, I felt it was time that we had a chat.  I had a few experiences last weekend that I thought I would bring to your attention so maybe we could come to some sort of understanding on what to [...]

    The 2011 Oscars – Another Year, Another Snoozer

    Last night was, once again, the biggest night in the movie industry.  It was Oscar’s 83rd year and it was once again a bit of a snooze-fest.  Every year I sit down to watch this thing hoping and praying it’ll be better than the previous year.  Every year I’m left with the same feeling.  Maybe [...]

    Bid on an Authentic Captain America Military Uniform

    Captain America Prop

    This one is for the hardcore serious collector.  Marvel announced yesterday that they are putting the military uniform worn by Chris Evans up for auction.  I guess they don’t need it anymore, or they have loads of them.  Whatever the reason this little nugget of what is sure to be cinematic history can be yours. [...]

    Michael Bay and Taylor Lautner Double Team on New Project

    Taylor Lautner Michael Bay

    It seems that all those Team Jacob fans are going to get their fill of young Taylor Lautner over the course of the next couple of years. Deadline reported yesterday that Lautner has teamed up with Michael Bay on a script that just went out to the studios. The werewolf and the King of Explosions [...]

    Jeri Ryan Confirmed for Mortal Kombat Rebirth

    Mortal Kombat

    When the fan made short of the Mortal Kombat reboot hit the web last summer, it spread like wildfire.  The question everyone wanted to know was “Is this for real?”  Well good news MK fans, the short is being turned into a 10 part web series.  BloodyDisgusting got word that Jeri Ryan, who played Sonya [...]

    True Grit Review

    If I’m being honest here, I’ll start this by saying that I went into True Grit with absolutely no bias to the original film.  Full Disclosure: I’ve never read the book, I’ve never seen the original film, and really, I’m not a fan of the Coen Bros. films.  I know, that last part can be [...]

    The Fighter Review

    As I was walking into the theater to see The Fighter, I was under the impression that it was going to be your basic sports film.  I had heard all of the praise and talk about how this film is a sure fire award winner, but in the end, thought to myself, it’s still a [...]

    Video Vault: Aliens

    Hicks

    With the Blu-ray release of the Alien Anthology on the 25th of October HeyUGuys are taking a look at the entire Alien and Predator series. From Facehuggers to trophy hunting Predators, from the iconic and classic to the dubious crossovers – this is your ultimate retrospective. So remember, even if you ain’t got time to bleed, [...]

    Remembering James Dean

    James Dean

    The current losses that the film industry has had to endure, it got me thinking about those actors, lost so long ago, whose spirit and influence can still be felt.  Most notably for me is James Dean.  Today marks the 55th anniversary of his sudden and tragic death in a horrific car accident along a [...]

    Back to the Future: The Music

    "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud"

    Editors Intro: Back to the Future returns to the big screen this coming Friday, 1st October. Since this opportunity won’t be coming around again any time soon, we want to make the most of of it. Many of the writers on HeyUGuys.co.uk love Back to the Future and we wanted to bring you some of [...]

    Machete Review

    I dare say, it’s been quite a blood fest at the cinema lately.  The Expendables and Piranha 3D had quite enough, but if you go and throw Machete in there too, it’s an all out blood fest extravaganza! The newest film by Robert Rodriguez opened this past weekend here in the States.  Originally filmed as [...]

    Wishful Thinking: Celebrity Storytellers

    James Earl Jones

    I was having a discussion with a friend of mine recently about actors and how some of them have the greatest voices ever.  Certain actors could probably stop traffic with their booming baritones or instantly silence crying babies with their soothing speech.  It’s a true superhero power. This then led to discussion on how I [...]

    The Last Exorcism Review

    At the time of writing this review it’s been almost 24 hours since I watched The Last Exorcism.  I’ve spent that time thinking about the film and trying to figure out what exactly my thoughts are on it, and how I really feel about it.  For a film to have that affect, you could say [...]

    Wishful Thinking: Action Con

    Action Con

    After waxing poetic about my love for The Expendables, and quite frankly, all things action yesterday I got to thinking about all of the different conventions that take place.  After searching the Internet I found loads of different cons.  Anime, Sci-Fi, Comic, Horror and more specifically, Star Trek and Twilight related conventions.  I’ve been to [...]
