2012: Blu-ray Review

August 5th, 2012 By David Scarborough

Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) ushers in another wave of pixel-powered doom, this time wiping out our collective brain cells with his latest movie of mass destruction.

2012 is one of those happy movies; on one hand, serving up a doom-laden prophecy of global annihilation and, on the other, making you utterly resent the characters who survived to rebuild mankind.

The plot can be summed up by an apt analogy; akin to spreading a tiny knife-edge?s worth of butter over a mile of (computer-generated) toast. When the onslaught of global obliteration begins, the plot really is a series of people avoiding cars/buildings/comets/water/dialogue to survive until the next scene.

Zombieland – Blu-ray Review

August 5th, 2012 By David Scarborough

Shuffling mindless droves, drooling, stumbling towards you with their vacuous black eyes – it's not easy going out to the cinema these days. Luckily, Zombieland is one of those films that?ll pick-up a cult following on DVD (and Blu-ray), much like its main inspiration Shaun of the Dead.

Shaun?s influence is as much admitted by the film?s creators, but this doesn't make the mistake of being a carbon copy. Firstly, it clearly has a budget that stretches past the few teabags that their UK friends had. And it also manages to supply a decent amount of zombie bludgeoning to go along with the ample helping of comedy.

Jesse Eisenberg is playing Michael Cera Columbus, whose MMORPG/wankathon lifestyle has left him with the neuroses akin to one of Woody Allen?s balls; leaving him surprisingly well-prepared for the zombie-apocalypse. It's not until he matches this intellect with the gun-toting Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), that the film finds its stride.

Wesley Snipes Gets Those Three Years In Jail After All

March 24th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

Well thanks a lot Woody Harrelson – Wesley Snipes asks you to do one bloody thing to keep him out of jail and you balls it all up.

No really, thanks. All Wesley Snipes wanted to you to do was write a heartfelt character reference to stop a judge from sending him to jail for three years on a tax evasion charge, and you ended up jabbering on about how close together your birthdays are. You really are a great big dipshit.

In fact, it’s probably all your fault that Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in jail yesterday. But you’ve only hurt yourself, you know – now that Wesley Snipes is in jail, you can kiss goodbye to any notion you had about making Money Train 2: Money Train In Space before 2011.

Wesley Snipes’ Chums Try To Keep Him Out Of Jail

March 24th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

There’s a good chance that Wesley Snipes will be sent to jail for three years today – but not if the bald bloke from Cheers has any say-so.

In a final desperate bid to wriggle out of a jail sentence after being found guilty of tax fraud, Wesley Snipes has enlisted the help of two of his most famous friends – Denzel Washington and Woody Harrleson – to write character witness statements pleading with the judge to let Snipes keep his freedom.

It might just work – the naturally-authoritative Washington appeals to the judge’s sense of leniency by referring to Snipes in his letter as ‘a mighty oak’. Harrelson, meanwhile, has just drawn a big picture of a happy cat in wax crayon on his, and then written ‘I like kitons’ underneath it. Might help.
