2011 was such a good year for film, and the British Film Institute have released the year’s final tally at the box office that reflect just how good a year it was. The figures show an increase of 5% from 2010, taking a total of £1.04bn., marking the first time the UK box office has [...]
Well no, since you asked. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t deeply flawed. The Oscars are the high watermark of film recognition. The red carpet trampling, lovvie love-a-thon that is the motion picture awards season starts in earnest with the Golden Globes in early January and extravagantly culminates every year in late February with the [...]
We got the first UK trailer for Oranges and Sunshine, director Jim Loach’s feature debut, back in February ahead of its April release here, and it was incredibly touching. The film’s release in the US is not until next month, and so we now have a new US trailer to enjoy, courtesy of Thompson on [...]
It’s easy to become blinded by the shine from its multiple awards but the Blu-ray and DVD release of The King’s Speech is an opportunity to enjoy Tom Hooper’s excellent film again, and it’s an opportunity well worth taking. The film tells the story of the ascension of King George VI to the throne and [...]

Tom Hooper’s film has waltzed through awards season winning accolades for its stars, directors, screenwriters and the film itself, and in order to capitalise on this success the film has been re-edited in the States, taking out the more offensive language and gaining a new, box-office friendly PG-13 rating. The debate will rage on and [...]
Let me begin by saying that I do not read The Daily Mail, I do not vote BNP and I certainly do not believe in unwarranted censorship. This is not some scare-mongering piece of propaganda which illegitimately claims that Kick-Ass promotes paedophilia, Machete sponsors racism and Childs Play 3 will turn your children into knife-wielding [...]
Maybe Nigel Cole should move to America. Having expressed his dismay at the BBFC’s apparent double standards when it comes to the treatment of profanity, Cole couldn’t quite grasp how the swearing in his own Made In Dagenham had earnt it a 15 rating, while The (similarly sweary) King’s Speech escaped with a measly 12A. [...]

Last night HeyUGuys had the pleasure of attending the 31st London Critics’ Circle Film Awards. Hosted at the BFI Southbank, it was a great evening, featuring talented names aplenty all supping from complimentary miniature bottles of Moët served up classily with bendy straws. It might not have the same profile as this weekend’s BAFTA ceremony, [...]

The Weinstein Company have a forth instalment of their enormously popular horror franchise Scream on the way, so why not return to the spoof spin-off that has made them a another bucketload of cash too! For those out there who already bemoan the lack of originality in Tinseltown, and are less than excited at the [...]
The 83rd Academy Awards will take place on the 27th of February this year and the nominations have just been announced and the debate can begin.
