    Sometimes, just sometimes, we all need an excuse to squeeze a few tears out.

  • Story Of London Festival

    If you’re bored, London-bound and film orientated over the next week or so, you’d do well to check out the Story Of London Festival – running until the 10th of October with events throughout the capital of our fine, vaguely depressed nation. We’ve cherry-picked the best FREE events for film lovers looking for something a little different, read on!


  • Wild Target

    A British re-make of a black French comedy, Wild Target is a film that, sadly, never quite hits the bullseye. Bill Nighy, Rupert Grint, Rupert Everett, Martin Freeman and Emily Blunt all lent their hands to this crime caper, with a script never quite lives up to the talent around it.

Director Sylvain White continues the good work with The Losers, an explosive romp based on the potty-mouthed DC Comics series written by Andy Diggle and illustrated by Jock.


  • Captain America Cast

    Hurrah! It’s official! Chris Evans has signed on the dotted line, and is now going to be playing Captain America in the upcoming Marvel flicks.

    Well done Chris, you fought off a lot of stiff competition, with other actors considered including Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Mike Vogel, John Krasinski, Chace Crawford and Ryan Phillippe. The only problem now is that we have seen Evans in a super-flick before, as Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four. Does it matter?

The film will tell the tale of happy young vampire girls, happily chewing their way through innocent men everywhere.
