Emily Breen began writing for HeyUGuys in 2009. She favours pretzels over popcorn and rarely watches trailers as she is working hard to overcome a compulsion to ‘solve’ plots. Her trusty top five films are: Betty Blue, The Red Shoes, The Princess Bride, The Age of Innocence and The Philadelphia Story. She is troubled by people who think Tom Hanks was in The Philadelphia Story and by other human beings existing when she is at the cinema.

There are too few hirsute funny men in the world. The smooth, or pretentiously stubble’d, of chin still dominate at making us chortle. Fortunately charismatic comedian Craig Campbell will continue to right that wrong when he debuts his eccentric live show on iTunes this week. Already well established on the circuit and still touring his [...]
In childhood the monster that lived under my bed was a shadowy, shape-shifting fear of the unknown. By adulthood that monster had morphed into a more specific beast: insecurity. Will my relationship survive? Is my life, my job, my future, a joke? Who am I, how did I get here? Does anybody care?? Charlie Brooker’s [...]
When director/producer Mark Linfield talks about the process of making Disneynature’s Chimpanzee he speaks of filmmaking by evolution. He would like the film’s audience to understand that, counter-intuitively, for animals to behave naturally before the eyes of the world they must first be used to having the eyes of men trained upon them. The idea [...]
The phrase alpha male conjures pictures of manly men and beastly beasts doing masculine things in a masculine way. One does not expect an alpha male to nurture, to caretake, or to love. Disneynature’s stunning new feature Chimpanzee tells the story of the exception to that rule. The exhilarating family adventure transports its audience to [...]

Person of Interest ought to be good. It ought to be tight, compelling television that defies you not to tune in again. It is not. The roster of talent involved is impressive with Batman alum Jonathan Nolan as writer/creator, JJ Abrams executive producing and Jim Caviezel taking the lead. The plot is a little preposterous [...]
Room on the Broom is destined to become a children’s classic. The magical feature you and your kids return to time and again. The one they remember when they are grown and enjoy sharing with children of their own. The beloved book, by author and Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson and her longtime collaborator illustrator Axel [...]
A deliciously brutal and demented new series comes to DVD and Blu-ray this week. Though not for those of a nervous disposition, Utopia is a fine example of the twisted things that can be done on British television given sufficient talent and balls. Graphic novel The Utopia Experiments is an esoteric tale. The picture it [...]
The Pope’s funny hat finds itself between Popes at present. It seems rather an appropriate time to celebrate the three greatest gifts the Catholic Church have given mankind: Father Jack, Father Dougal and Father Ted. This week all three delightful series of Father Ted have been released individually – face-lifted with charming illustrations by renowned [...]
There is a tangible moment in every teenage life when possession of an intact hymen becomes a blushing V-shaped brand of immaturity seared into your consciousness. For Rae that moment is now. Her virginity has become as much of a burden as her sixteen stone frame and her cumbersome insecurity. In the summer of 1996 [...]

True crime writer Ellison Oswalt needs his next book to be a best seller. In the decade since his authorial debut endowed him with instant fame and success, his credibility has been muddied by a series of critical missteps. Ellison’s family have long tolerated the whisky-fuelled rollercoaster of his working life, riding the crest of [...]
The Romantics finally gets its UK DVD release this week. The Gen Y dramedy chronicling the enmeshed lives of seven college friends was filmed in late 2009 and in the intervening years the supporting cast have gone on to become headline names themselves. But back in 2009 Katie Holmes was the biggest star on the [...]

House of Lies makes its DVD debut this week. The darkly humorous series details the bawdy adventures of management consultant, and horrible-person extraordinaire, Marty Kaan and his crack team of misfits as they banter, flirt and offend their way through the boardrooms of America. The release is the perfect opportunity for Golden Globe viewers to [...]
In 1962 England’s foremost director, Alfred Hitchcock, began the search for a leading lady to headline his most ambitious project to date – The Birds. The anticipated follow-up to Psycho demanded a cool blonde centre-screen but Hitchcock-muse Grace Kelly had already traded her ice queen crown for the real thing. The Girl recounts the unbelievable [...]
Jason Becker inspires something akin to awe in his army of fans. So much so that one, producer/director Jesse Vile, aspired for fifteen years to make a film about him. And, when the time came, several hundred more came forward with the cash to make it happen. Their devotion could be attributed to any one [...]

His latest project, Hunted, brings the Spotnitz style to UK shores [...]
