The HeyUGuys Interview: Twenty questions with Ken Loach about The Spirit of ’45

Ken Loach

There are few British filmmakers that come with the reputation and pedigree than that of Ken Loach. In the approach of the release of his politically-minded documentary The Spirit of ’45 we were fortunate enough to sit down and speak with the notorious director. Sitting in a rather quaint office at Loach’s production company Sixteen [...]




The Spirit of ’45 Review

The Spirit of '45

The Spirit of ’45 marks accomplished director Ken Loach’s return to documentary making for the first time in almost a decade, in what proves to be an impassioned, bittersweet feature that admires a prodigious community spirit that swept the nation in the wake of World War Two, and how such a spirit has been slowly [...]

The Hey U Guys Cinema Release Round-up : 1st June

cinema-screen-220x1501

As one might have imagined, Men in Black 3 stormed to the top of the UK Box Office last week, knocking The Dictator down into second and pushing The Avengers into third. Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom came in a very credible seventh and perhaps most impressively, Iron Sky, despite only its very limited release, made [...]

Coriolanus Review

Coriolanus

Another Shakespearian text receives the contemporary treatment (albeit via one of his lesser-known plays) with Bard veteran Ralph Fiennes making his directorial debut alongside ably filling the central role of proud and defiant general, Gaius Marcius Coriolanus. The ruler of Rome (portrayed here as a faceless English city), Coriolanus is a fierce, unrepentant soldier whose [...]




Tyrannosaur Review

Tyrannosaur

In an opening scene which sees Peter Mullan’s character kick his faithful mutt to death after a night (and indeed day) on the tiles, it’s safe to say Paddy Considine’s feature-length directorial debut (he won a BAFTA in 2007 for the short which formed the basis of what’s on offer here) won’t be touted as [...]

Route Irish review

Ken Loach returns to the political arena with the taut, violent Route Irish, a cautionary tale about the privatization of modern war propelled by a riveting, intricately plotted mystery. Ex-SAS private security contractor Fergus (Mark Womack) returns to Liverpool from Iraq to attend the funeral of his friend Frankie (John Bishop) who was killed on ‘Route [...]
