Cyrus Review
September 10, 2010 By 1 Comment
Cyrus is a “Romantic” Comedy film from the Duplass brothers starring Jonah Hill, John C Reilly and Marisa Tomei. It’s a film I had been looking forward to seeing after enjoying the trailer (found here) and being intrigued by what appeared to be a brilliant cast in an original idea. But does it deliver? Still [...]

Certified Copy Review
August 31, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Certified Copy is a remarkable film from Iranian Director Abbas Kiarostami. It’s also a unusual film that allows you the viewer to guess at the true nature of the relationship of the couple in the film that never really gives you the true answer. Is it real or is it a reproduction of a real [...]
The Switch Review
August 31, 2010 By 1 Comment
The Switch is another romantic comedy to follow the abysmal Leap Year, the grotesque Back Up Plan, the overly clichéd The Bounty Hunter and the horrendous Valentine’s Day. Four films I wouldn’t encourage anyone to see, no matter who the big names in the cast are. The Switch, on the other hand, is completely the opposite. [...]

Overused Movie Lines
August 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
As it’s a Bank Holiday, we have another bunch of funnies for you to help you through another slow day of news. I’ve found some brilliant movie clips showing the overuse of certain key phrases in movies, these have been doing the rounds separately for some time but I’ve never found them all in one [...]

Saw 3D 8 Minute Preview Screening – Our Thoughts
August 26, 2010 By 3 Comments
HeyUGuys were given the chance to see eight minutes of the upcoming Saw 3D, intending to showcase more gory killings, but this time in 3D, for the final movie of the franchise. What I saw was barely worth getting that excited about except for the opening scene which I will go into later. The set [...]
The Girl Who Played With Fire Review
August 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The Girl Who Played With Fire is the second film to be released of the Millennium trilogy of movies that are based on the incredibly popular Stieg Larsson books. The first film of the trilogy was the excellent ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’, which was a world wide success and one of my favourite [...]
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Review
August 23, 2010 By 1 Comment
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a movie adaptation of the Jeff Kinney series of books of the same name from director Thor Freudenthal. I’ve never read them or heard anything about them so I had feelings I was about to watch a patronizing and childish movie about a brat and his time at school. [...]
Inception Simplified
August 22, 2010 By 7 Comments
Something funny for a Sunday. Inception is a film that has really split the opinions of movie journalists. I’m a big big fan of Nolan’s intelligent, highly original and entertaining film and I definitely haven’t agreed with a lot of the negatives thrown at my favourite film of the year so far. However, I recently found [...]

I was lucky enough to visit Warner Bros today to get a sneak peak preview of the upcoming animated feature ‘Legend of the Guardians’.

August 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Many things can make a great opening scene. A film can open with a shock, a fast paced action sequence, a gripping voice-over, a moment of comedy or so many other possibilities. Opening scenes can help define your experience with a film and the best opening scenes can pin you to your seat excited about [...]

August 4, 2010 By 4 Comments
The Expendables has been on my radar for months and like many other excited fans it’s a film I’ve been itching to see since Stallone announced that he would be bringing us ‘the ultimate action movie’ . This is a film which unites some of the greatest action stars from the last two decades including [...]
