Community DVD Review

Community DVD

Setting back society by demonizing the working classes all over again is writer/director Jason Ford and his film Community, which is definitely not to be confused with the feel good US series now in its fourth season. Ford’s film is another attack on a country where the gulf between the haves and have not’s has never [...]




Before Dawn Review

Before Dawn

Two things I am sick of in horror: 1. Found footage films and 2. Zombies. The shambling corpse of the zombie film has been milked to death over the last ten years starting with 28 Days Later and up to now where we somehow have romantic zombies in Warm Bodies. Every couple of years though [...]




Pusher Blu-Ray Review

Pusher Poster

Remakes usually strike whilst the iron is hot when it comes to popular foreign films. The Ring for example came out within four years of the release of the Japanese original and the same with The Grudge. So it’s curious that a British remake of a low-key 1996 Danish thriller should only now be making its [...]




The I Give it a Year Premiere Report – Rose Byrne Waiting on X-Men and Merchant on Movie 43

Rose-Byrne-I-Give-it-a-Year-Premiere

This evening, at the premiere of I Give it a Year, we found out that Rose Byrne is still waiting to hear whether she’s in the X-Men: First Class sequel, that Stephen Merchant agreed to take part in the forthcoming Movie 43 after being asked by the director if he “wanted to be on a [...]




When The Lights Went Out DVD Review

When The Lights Went Out

True stories adapted into film are seemingly everywhere nowadays. For every Paranormal Activity clone that there is, it’s easy to slap a ‘Based on True Events’ label on the film and give it extra weight. All of the events in these types of films are so familiar and so similar to what many claim actually [...]




Passport to Pimlico Blu-ray Review

Passport to Pimlico Blu-ray cover

A typically quaint and light-hearted comedy from the masterly Ealing Studios, Passport to Pimlico has endured as one of their best loved capers. The film is set in post-war London in 1949, an era of British history that arguably tends to be ignored slightly by the movies. Obviously the great triumphs and struggles of the [...]




Peppa Pig: The Queen Royal Compilation Review

81O8D56dqSL._AA1500_

With the Queen’s Jubilee just around the corner, the creators of Peppa Pig have made and released a special compilation DVD featuring some of the most popular episodes from the hit television series, as well as the exclusive episode featuring the Queen (that also has a book released based on this episode). Despite the lack [...]




The Trailer For Outpost 11 Is Here

Outpost 11-108

At the tail end of last year I visited the set of a tiny little British movie, shot mostly in an old office building in Surrey. What I saw left me curious – a steampunk thriller, shot for less than the marketing budget of most movies. The trailer for the film has just been released [...]

4321 Poster

4.3.2.1 is the latest film from Noel Clarke, whose career has been a runaway success these past few years. Last year Clarke was the winner of the Orange Rising Star award following a host of acting roles and also his work on Kidulthood (which he wrote) and Adulthood (which he wrote and directed) and 4.3.2.1 [...]




DVD Review: Harry Brown

harry brown dvd

Harry Brown is an unassuming name for what may become an iconic character in Michael Caine’s career. That Caine is able to embody a man of frustration and sadness whose inaction turns to violent action with fluidity and pathos is a testament to the talent of the man and the capability of the film’s director [...]




Bazmann’s Christmas Address

Christmas

It’s been a great year for the British film industry. It kicked off with the British invasion of the Oscars, with notable wins for Kate Winslet, and Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. The huge amount of British Actors plying their trade successfully in Hollywood continued to grow, with Scot Gerard Butler particularly in demand with parts [...]
