‘Tis the season to wreck havoc. Joe Dante’s 1984 tale of that loveable and unique Christmas gift which turns out to be more trouble than he’s worth is now a firm festive favourite, and similar to Die Hard, it has earned a loving place on that list whilst using the holidays ostensibly as a hook [...]
Thanks so much to Whitehouse Content who made this video (with a nod of the cap to The Vulture) as it literally had be laughing out loud! It basically shows what Jaws could have been like if it was a family-friendly Disney esk movie and I’m not hoping it gets made! Prepare to laugh! Here’s how [...]
Spielberg’s been out of the director’s chair for a little while (since Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls) but is making up for lost time by putting out action-adventure spectacle (Tintin) and serious drama (War Horse) in short succession. It’s like 1993 all over again. In honour of Spielberg returning to action, here are six of [...]
Premiering at the 65th Edinburgh International Film Festival in June to – mostly – rapturous applause, Albatross is a coming-of-age comedy-drama centring on verbose, would-be writer Emilia’s incendiary effect on a struggling author, Jonathan (Sebastian Koch), and his respective family, including wife Joa (Julia Ormond) and daughter Beth (Felicity Jones. Last week, HeyUGuys had the opportunity to [...]
I first saw Apocalypse Now at Toronto’s exquisite University cinema on 17th August, 1979. The film opened on Wednesday 15th August as part of an inaugural three city run in New York, LA, and Toronto, with tickets sold in advance as they had been in the past for ‘road show’ presentations. The University was a [...]
Soul Surfer is almost a good movie, its flaws are easy to forgive in light of the fact that the story is as inspirational as anything that will be released this year. Even when the film dips into sappy melodrama and cliched sequences, its story is uplifting enough to help the audience through the running [...]
I’m sure we all have our own ideas on what the most profitable films of all time are, and reading this piece over at Moviefone I was half expecting to see the likes of Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch etc. How wrong I was. The piece references a list compiled by CNBC and it brings up [...]
You may recall the story from 2003 of female surfer Bethany Hamilton who (following a run-in with a tiger shark), lost her left arm in the attack, only to overcome that life-changing injury and return to the waves less than a month after the incident. It’s the kind of inspirational tale that screams out for [...]
Sky Movies HD have got quite a good season coming up called ‘Movies You Never Got Around To Watching But Always Wanted To See’ and this sort of thing is perfect for people who aren’t sure what movies they should watch. Their week of films starts Monday 11th Oct – Sunday 17th Oct and includes [...]
I was having a conversation with one of my HeyUGuys colleagues on Twitter recently about how I haven’t yet seen The Shawshank Redemption. After the shock of my confession subsided, he had mentioned how great it was going to be for me to experience it for the first time. We then talked about a couple [...]
The IMDb250. A list of the top 250 films as ranked by the users of the biggest Internet movie site on the web. It is based upon the ratings provided by the users of the Internet Movie Database, which number into the millions. As such, it’s a perfect representation of the opinions of the movie [...]
James Cameron’s Avatar is now certain to become the highest grossing movie of all time, both at the domestic US Box Office and internationally, well, sort of. Factor in inflation and things look a little different. Ed crunches the numbers and finds out if today’s blockbusters are really more popular than their counterparts from yesteryear.
Thanks to the fine folks over at Sky Movies HD, HeyUGuys attended a very special screening of Jaws HD at the SeaLife London Aquarium. The screening was set to take place after hours in a specially set up area right next to the shark enclosure. So to say that an atmosphere had been created was [...]
