Monsters Infects UK Cinemas

We enjoyed Gareth Edwards’ Monsters in Edinburgh this year and soon UK audiences will get the chance to check out this road movie with a difference. If you can’t wait to get your Monsters fix then there’s a new initiative to whip you into a frenzy and it’s a pretty neat idea. Using Foursquare Vertigo [...]




Brand New Poster for Gareth Edwards’ Monsters

Monsters

A brand new poster for Gareth Edwards’ low-budget alien invasion flick Monsters, has made it’s way online, via IMPA. This new poster is certainly more artistic than the others we’ve seen, and maintains the high level of intrigue surrounding the film. Monsters stars Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able. It will be released on November 12. Alien life [...]




Red Hill Poster Appears

This revenge thriller starring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten is generating a great deal of buzz at London’s Frightfest, Craig’s report can be read here and Martyn reviewed Red Hill when it played at Edinburgh earlier in the year, now there’s a new poster out to get you in the mood. A recent trailer gives a [...]




Red Hill Trailer Appears

We were lucky enough to see writer/director Patrick Hughes’ latest, Red Hill, at the Edinburgh Film Festival this year and we were impressed by what we saw. There’s a new trailer out in the wild today and it gives a good impression, certainly buzz from its debut at Sydney and then at Edinburgh suggests that [...]




New Poster for Gareth Edwards’ Monsters

Monsters Poster

Arriving via IMDB you can check out the new poster for Gareth Edwards’ Monsters embedded below. Perhaps less visually interesting than the previous posters this one is still very cool, I particularly like the way the designers have incorporated the release date. You can find all our coverage of Monsters by clicking here, including a the trailer [...]

cherry-tree-lane-006

New Trailer for Monsters Lands

Monsters-Poster

So, bypassing the obligatory ‘new District 9′ nonsense, let’s get down to business. There’s a new trailer for Gareth Edwards’ alien invasion film Monsters roaming around the internet this evening and we’ve managed to cage it for you good people to see. We were at the Edinburgh Film Festival when this film was shown, our [...]




Top Ten Films – Edinburgh Film Festival 2010

With the Edinburgh Film Festival finished for this year, I thought that it would be a great opportunity to list my personal top ten films at the festival. Although I loved all of these films, there has to be a winner out of the bunch and so I will count from my tenth favourite film [...]




Au Revoir Taipei Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

au revoir taipei

Director Arvin Chen has two well received short films in the bag, one a straight comedy and the other a romantic story, and with Au Revoir Taipei Chen has blended the two genres with great results. The film is a great multi-stranded romantic comedy that follows numerous characters that are caught up in the story [...]




Edinburgh Film Festival – Final Round Up

Day 10 – Friday Friday has to be one of my favourite days at EIFF. It began with Superhero Me at the Cameo – a.k.a. the comfiest cinema in the universe. Enveloped in its cozy red seats, we were swept away on a magical journey of cheap spandex, a novice superhero named SOS, and a [...]




Red Hill Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

red hill

Patrick Hughes leaps into the crowded crime thriller arena with his debut feature film Red Hill, which played at the Edinburgh Film Festival this year, and is competing with a wide array of talent, not least in the thriller genre. Policeman Shane Cooper (Ryan Kwanten) has moved from the city to a quiet town in [...]




Pelican Blood Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

pelican blood

Pelican Blood, which had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival, is an interesting attempt at making a film about the life and loves of an obsessive birdwatcher and while they try to make the film as cool and sexy as it can be, I found this film to be an overall disappointment due [...]




Monsters Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

Monsters

Those attending the Edinburgh Film Festival’s Frightfest programme got the chance to take in Gareth’s Edwards Monsters and with a good deal of hype buffeting this one I’m pleased to say that it’s an entertaining science fiction film that manages to do so much special effects on the low budget that the film received. While [...]




Mr. Nice Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

mr nice

Director Bernard Rose has made a worthy attempt at reconstructing the drug fueled underbelly of society for the story of Mr. Nice and while his direction engaged, the overall storyline of the film feels very familiar to other films set around likable criminals and drug dealers. The film has the same on-stage opening and closing [...]




Edinburgh Film Festival – Round of Days 8 & 9

Day 8 Wednesday was a day of transitions – first-week guests left and second-week guests had not yet arrived, and the Filmhouse was like a ghost town as everyone took off to watch the World Cup. Feeling listless after transcribing interviews for hours (lots to come, keep an eye out!), I caught the 5pm screening [...]




Third Star Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

third star

Third Star is the official film to end the Edinburgh Film Festival and although I am sad that the festival has seemed to come to an end so quickly, this lovely film from Wales helps to soften the blow. Having directed several short films and edited some of the most recognisable British films during the [...]




Lucky Luke Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

Lucky Luke

Based on the popular Franco-Belgian comic book series created by Maurice De Bevere, Lucky Luke manages to keep the same comedic style of the source material, which works wonders in this affectionate parody of the western genre. The result is a wacky western that manages to avoid the pitfalls that films such as Barry Sonnenfeld’s [...]




Edinburgh Film Festival – Round Up of Days 6 & 7

Day 6 – Monday was a long but fairly quiet day. I went directly to the Cineworld to catch screenings of… The Kid, another one of those A Child Called “It” type tales. An abusive childhood, being moved from foster home to foster home, more family drama, a troubled transition to adulthood, and all kinds [...]




Fog (Wu) Review – Edinburgh Film Festival

fog wu trailer

Being a writer, producer and editor for her directorial debut, Kit Hui’s film Fog has finally been premiered in the UK at the Edinburgh Film Festival, after two years in the making. I am glad to say that this is one of my favourite films this year with its simple, beautifully shot character-driven approach to [...]
