I was lucky enough to recently speak with Cuban director Alejandro Brugués about his new zombie movie, Juan of the Dead (Juan de los Muertos). The film is a gory fun-fest of a film (review coming soon) with some fantastic characters, brilliant zombie kills and it is extremely funny. It is currently showing at UK cinemas and I highly recommend it. One of the...

Don’t worry. Three and I’m out. Promise. I’m watching War Horse. Spielberg just showed how to kill two youngsters on-screen. And do it tastefully, and artistically – as a windmill turns, and hides the worse of it. I love that. That films can paint pictures. Like Art. Mel Gibsons new film is a brilliant work of art. Unique. Quirky. Unlike...

If we’re honest, these 300 word reviews are better for all of us. On that basis, I’m going to bash out my thoughts on Dark Shadows. The first of a triple bill today, that included Piranha 3DD(!!), didn’t start particularly well…  That it pulled some of that back in the final 20 minutes, is credit to Burton. But, on the day I...

Junaid Chundrigar put together this amazing animated short showing that even those with super powers can have really bad days. This did have me...

Directed by John Murlowski the film stars Travis Wester, Shelley Long, June Lockhart, John Amos, Emmalee Wilson and Jason Mewes (Clerks etc). It looks exactly how you would expect a film called Zombie Hamlet would look. One of those films that will not win any awards, but will be worth a watch late at nights with a crowd of friends and lots of...

Community fans can rest easy. After the show returned from the Season 3 hiatus the ratings have been strong and NBC have renewed it for Season 4. The only difference is that it will be 13 episodes instead of the usual 20+. That’s no bad thing as it means the episodes should be tighter and cleverer as they are not pushing themselves to the limit. Plus...

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost recently announced that The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (also known as the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy) would be coming to an end after Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz as they had finished the script for The World’s End. The plan is for them to begin shooting in Summer for a 2013 release. The big question is...

Ben Affleck has directed some great movies. I thought The Town was excellent and, judging by this trailer, Argo is going on my list of films to watch. Such a great idea and even better because it is based on a true story. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans...

Apparently the Akiva Schaffer directed comedy has had a name change twhich may be to move away from the Trayvon Martin case over in the US. Then again it may just not have been testing well with the public. Personally I think The Watch is a slightly better title although it does make me think of Terry Pratchett. There is no Vimes in this one, but it does...

You need balls to be seen in a pair of Y-fronts and a yellow jumper. Luckily for us Simon Pegg can do it. Ex Kula Shaker front man, Crispian Mills, is the man behind the camera and it is looking like it will be well worth a watch. Source:...
