    London Boulevard Review

    When London Boulevard’s Mitchel is released from a three year stretch at Pentonville he fully intends to do the right thing.  To turn his back on his underworld past and shake off the ties that bind him to the tower blocks and petty crime of a London he left behind. Reclusive movie star Charlotte is [...]

    Colin Farrell Interview – London Boulevard

    CF LB

    HeyUGuys consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to while away our days watching, thinking, eat, sleep-and-dreaming film.  We recognise that the things we get to do on a daily basis are extraordinary.  Topping our list of the extra extraordinary this month was the opportunity to sit down and talk with Colin Farrell. We have [...]

    Predators Triple Bill

    Predator Triple at PCC

    Keener eyed readers among you may have observed that HeyUGuys have gone the extra (terrestrial) mile in recent weeks to bring you heaving piles of Predatory goodness.  Dave crossed the globe to meet the talent at Troublemaker Studios. The mighty HUG Video Vault swung open for Dave Roper’s take on Predator and Predator 2. Jon [...]

    The Amityville Horror: Jameson Chills 2010

    Jameson Cult Film Club

    Yesterday HeyUGuys kicked off our Halloween celebrations in style by watching a family fall apart in the home of their dreams. The Union Chapel Islington was the setting for our disquieting entertainment, as once again, Jameson Cult Film Club threw open the creaking double doors for a night of Chills in the Chapel.  The all-star [...]

    Burke & Hare Interview: Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis

    Simon Pegg & Andy Serkis - Burke and Hare Junket

    On Friday 29th October the John Landis directed Ealing dramedy Burke & Hare has its UK release.  You may read our review of the film here.  The slightly true story of Edinburgh’s most notorious killers has, in this case, been retold as a comedy of errors with a pair of romantic leads engaging in wrongness [...]

    Burke & Hare Review

    In 1820 Edinburgh stood at the centre of the modern medical world.  It was a pioneering city in which anatomical demonstrations were the theatre of choice for any discerning academic.  In a world where medical innovation bestowed immediate renowned and prosperity, competition was rife to attract the attention of the King with ever more dramatic [...]

    RED: Bruce Willis Press Conference and Mary-Louise Parker Interview

    Mary-Louise Parker

    Ahead of the Friday release of Bruce Willis’s brand new action comedy RED (a film in which the first foe he fights is the tedium of retirement) HeyUGuys went along to the London press conference to bring you the behind-the-scenes story on the unusually star-packed set.  We wondered what a stand out day would be [...]

    RED Review

    HeyUGuys, along with the entire UK population, spent the first half of this week awaiting word of the latest governmental spending review.  Word went out on Wednesday afternoon that, among the many controversial reforms our coalition government intended to enforce, the state pension age was set to rise to 66 by the year 2018.  On [...]

    video-vault-alien

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, [...]

    Restrepo Review

    From May 2007 to July 2008 Battle Company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade was stationed deep in the remote Korengal Valley of Eastern Afghanistan.  The soldiers of Second Platoon established and peopled a fifteen man outpost at this, one of the most treacherous postings of the war.  To date close to fifty American soldiers have [...]

    Restrepo Interview: Tim Hetherington

    Restrepo

    The war in Afghanistan has become highly politicised, but soldiers rarely take part in that discussion.  Our intention was to capture the experience of combat, boredom and fear through the eyes of the soldiers themselves.  Their lives were our lives: we did not sit down with their families, we did not interview Afghans, we did [...]

    Noel Clarke 4.3.2.1 Interview

    Before HeyUGuys sets you free to read our rollercoaster interview with Noel Clarke we need to set the conversation below in a little context. On 21st of May one of our team, reviewed 4.3.2.1 for its cinema release. It would be fair to say the film wasn’t his cup of tea. Incensed at some of [...]

    Made in Dagenham Review

    I am ashamed to say that I was entirely unfamiliar with the true life story behind Made in Dagenham.  Though the 1968 strike by female machinists at the Dagenham Ford plant went on to change history it appears to have made little significant impact upon our history books.  Veteran producers Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen [...]

    Made in Dagenham Interviews

    In 1968 a unique strike by 187 female machinists at the Ford Dagenham plant changed the course of history for working women worldwide.  The stand made by those women led to the advent of the equal pay act, an unprecedented piece of legislation that finally offered women the opportunity for some financial parity. Director Nigel [...]

    Taxi Driver at Jameson Cult Film Club

    Travis Bickle at Jameson Cult Film Club - Taxi Driver

    HeyUGuys bumped into an old friend on our journey home tonight.  We exchanged civilities and they asked the inevitable question “what have you been up to?”  “Well,” we replied “actually we’ve been watching a film in a Soho car park”.  And do you know what faithful readers – we spoke the truth.  This evening our [...]

    The Town Q&A with Ben Affleck & Rebecca Hall

    Ben Affleck & Rebecca Hall

    On Sunday night HeyUGuys had a big night out at The Town – Ben Affleck’s Town to be precise.  London’s Odeon Leicester Square hosted a very special screening of the US box office smash followed by a Q&A with the talented director/lead and his beautiful co-star Rebecca Hall.  You may read Gary’s thoughts on the [...]

    I’m Still Here Review

    Picture 6

    In autumn 2008 the entertainment channels were abuzz with the strange story of Joaquin Phoenix’s retirement from acting.  In the tradition of all good movie plots there was a twist – this Hollywood star had set his heart on a new life as a musician and nothing was going to stand in his way.  There [...]
