    It’s a sad fact in life that, sometimes, bad trailers happen to good films. Look at 21 Jump Street for instance; a clever satire of the buddy-cop drama made to look just like… well, just like an actual buddy-cop drama.

    It’s National Priest Day 2012 everyone! Congratulations, priests of the world! You earned it! Wait, what’s that? There’s no such thing as National Priest Day?

  • TGIM! Dead By Dawn Festival

    Who needs the weekend, eh? Not when you’ve got a joyful week of work, work, inertia and intellectual paralysis ahead of you, right? Alright fine, Mondays suck, but it’s our job to seek out solace. This week it’s Edinburgh’s spectacular Dead By Dawn – a horror festival like no other. Well, maybe like other horror festivals, a bit.

  • How to win the Jameson Empire’s Done In 60 Seconds Awards: a foolproof guide

    So last night we were lucky and drunk enough to attend the finals of the Jameson Empire’s Done In 60 Second Short Film competition – where short film-makers from around the world compete to distill a Hollywood blockbuster into a 60 second gem.

  • Friday Drinking Game #44 – Dystopian Worlds

    It’s 2012. The planets are aligning; if you glance upwards into a star-filled sky, you’ll see Venus, Jupiter and Mars are all visible.

    Look, sure, any sane person is going to be saving up their film-cash for next week when they can go watch The Hunger Games , but frankly, if you’re a sane person, you’re probably not still on-board with this as a credible film website. With that it mind, it’s OFF TO THE CINEMA WE GO! TWO FOR ONE! NONSENSE FOREVER!


  • Cheat Sheet: Gary Ross

    He’s only just gone and directed universally foamed-about The Hunger Games, hasn’t he? But did you know he also wrote Big? And Pleasantville? And LASSIE (sort of)?

  • 5 More Films The Vatican Doesn’t Want You To See

    In the trailer for The Devil Inside the film rather proudly states that the Vatican did not give its endorsement. Well, neither did they endorse 21 Jump Street, but you don’t see them banging on about it do you? Anyway, perhaps they just weren’t fans of the movie. Big cinephile, The Pope, didn’t you know? Well, you will after reading his scathing critques of these other films the Vatican doesn’t want you to see.
