Just one of your regular, run of the mill, disillusioned-homeless-man-with-lots-of-guns-takes-on-gang-of-street-punks type of film. If thats not you’re genre, you’re probably not gonna like this.
Oh yeah, and the video has a little bit of blood in it, so proceed with caution if you’re squeamish. • Koaste
Directed by Edgar Wright of Sean of the Dead fame, I remember hearing about this film, but to be honest didn’t know much about it. Based on the graphic novels, the film features Michael Cera and I have to admit, looks pretty amusing. Might have to check for this at some point. • Koaste
Caught this at the flicks last night, and all I can say, is GET OFF YOUR ARSE AND GO SEE THIS FILM! Probably the funniest film I’ve seen for ages. Directed by comedy mastermind Chris Morris of Brass Eye/The Day Today fame, Four Lions follows the story of a rag tag bunch of wannabe suicide bombers let by Omar (Riz Ahmed/MC Riz) as they attempt to plot the destruction of American capitalism, Western democracy, and er… Chicken Cottage. Not being the brightest of sparks, the group of would-be jihadists run into a few problems along the way, including a slightly calamitous trip to a Pakistani terrorist training camp. While not being exactly your usual basis for comedy material, it was laughs throughout, and in my opinion, Morris has created one of his best works yet. All my Brighton heads should get down to the Duke of York cinema asap and check this out. You won’t be disappointed. • Koaste
I think every Tarantino/Rodriguez fan that ever saw Grindhouse and caught the spoof trailer for Machete jizzed in their Calvin Kleins when they heard that they were actually going ahead and making the film. This new trailer has hit the interwebs now, and fuck me does it look good. Looks like there’s gonna be serious lashings of tongue-in-cheek violence, and the cast list keeps getting better and better. I mean, De Niro! Seagal! Don “Nash Bridges” Johnson! If this film really does make it to the cinema, I’m gonna be first in the queue and buying the popcorn. • Koaste
