I know that I am a bit late in posting this week's film of the week, but I am sure that you will forgive me. I could have gone with the much more family orientated MARLEY AND ME as my Friday the 13th recommendation, but I haven't. Istead, I have opted for BRONSON, a new British film from the folks at Vertigo Films, revolving around one of the Uk's most notorious criminals, Charles Bronson.
Vertigo Films will release the movie in Spring 2009
BRONSON is the evolutionary journey of Mickey Peterso…

It has always been a dream of mine to get my name up there in bright lights. When I was a kid I always wanted to be an actor, director, or a film producer – anything, just to have my name associated with a motion picture. I aspired to be like my childhood heroes, Back to the Future star Michael J. Fox or Die Hard's Bruce Willis, director John Woo or Steven Spielberg or producer Jerry Bruckheimer or the bearded one, Joel Silver. 31 long years have gone by in my life and that moment is about to be…

You know that you're getting old when you find out that Hollywood is starting to remake films that you grew up with. News reached us today that Michael 'Boom Boom' Bay's Platinum Dunes company is kicking a remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street into production in April. There is no cast attached as yet, but music video helmer Samuel Bayer is going to direct it.
'Nightmare' was probably the first horror film that I ever saw. I remember watching it back home in my dark bedroom in Gloucester, circa t…

Kevin Smith's latest film ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO hit cinema screens in the UK this past Friday. The film has one of those titles that literally says it all. Two old high-school friends, Zack (played by Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) find themselves behind on their rent, and bills coming out of their ears in the middle of winter in cold-ass Pittsburgh. So, to get rich quick, and get their water and electricity switched back on, the duo set about making their own 'porn' film. Hilarity…

Thought that I had better weigh in with my own, very quick, personal take on the latest big-screen exploits of Mr. 007. I finally managed to see the new James Bond last Sunday, with what I can only describe as the hangover from HELL! A day on the razz with my better half on Saturday definitely got the better of me. Anyway, I was still pleased to get to the screening of possibly one of the year's most anticipated flicks, QUANTUM OF SOLACE early in the afternoon.
We all know the story by now. Dan…

A couple of weeks ago we were treated by the lovely folks at Vertigo Films to a special screening of their new horror flick THE CHILDREN, which hits British cinema screens on the 5th of December - hey, just in time for Christmas, which just happens to be when this is set.
The story is that a family of four head out into the glorious, and seasonally decorated British countryside for a quick break in the days between Christmas and New Year to visit relatives, a couple who also have happen to have…

More in fact. What we've notice is that, although a lot of people are signing up, not many are uploading a profile pic, or customising their page. You can pimp your page very much like you can on MySpace, add blogs, start discussions, upload videos and…

ROCKNROLLA (15)
Directed by: Guy Ritchie
On general release in the UK from September 5th, 2008.
Frequent visitors to the main THN website will have come to know how much I dug Guy Ritchie's first two films. I look back with fondness at the first time I caught LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, and the slightly superior (in my mind) SNATCH. I love the style and wit Ritchie employed for those two films, the excellent one-liners and his inventive use of the 'c***'. I awaited his next movie, with…
