Woody Allens 40th feature film arrives on DVD. Despite being 75 years old, Allen is still averaging about one film every year. So far, so familiar, right? Its Woody sticking to what he knows, which gives us a much more cohesive film. Part of the films success is down to fantastic performances by the ensemble cast. There are also cameos from Freida Pinto as Roys love interest and Anna Friel as Sallys old school friend....
There are devastating times ahead for humanity! Thank the Lord for the World Health Organisation and the United Nations. Sadly, as we discover from the UN sanctioned introduction, there have been issues at The Crypt. A team was sent in to further the investigation and discover what happened to the now silent team. Ad content continues below Science, however, is obviously key to any vaccine. When the end finally comes, it seems somehow fitting....
Firstly, we caught up with him earlier in the year when the shoot came to Wales. And then, we met him again at the UK press launch, just a couple of weeks ago. There are a lot of problems that are going to stem from that. And thats what Jack, and the rest of the team, have to look at. So, hes potentially in completely the opposite place to where were used to seeing him?...
Its the fourth Harry Potter movie, and the darkest yet. Mark looks back at Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire… Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. Dumbledore So said most of the promotional material forHarry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. A grave warning from Michael Gambons Dumbledore to our young hero doesnt exactly scream family fun, does it?...
Who is this imposter? Or is he even an imposter at all, or maybe an earlier (or later?) version of the current incarnation? Both before and after the revelation of the imposter, Colin maintains his usual wonderful standards. Weve also got some new aliens, the Terravores, in this one. Theyre giant robot mosquitoes, and theyre quite well realised (as is a speed boat chase!). Of course, the Terravores have met the Doctor before, but again, hes not yet met them....
Glen highlights the tracks that tend to get aired just a little too often in modern day movies… Bodies Drowning Pool(Nominated by Den of Geek writer Harry Slater.) Is your movie of the action variety, involving numerous bodies hitting the floor? Then this is the song for you, apparently. One Week Barenaked Ladies(Nominated by Den of Geek editor Simon Brew.) Who Let the Dogs Out? Baha Men Im not entirely convinced that this is actually a song....
But should it still have been better? The guys are faced with a choice. Either suck it up and be run ragged by your bosses, or kill them. In its worst moments, theres just a lot of yelling and swearing. Make no mistake about it.Horrible Bossesis very crude throughout, though it plays that vulgarity for comedys sake. Im far from a prude, but there were a lot of curse words in this movie....
The Last King Of Scotland director Kevin Macdonald returns with sword and sandal epic, The Eagle. Suffering an injury, hes sent to a hospital, where he meets his uncle (Donald Sutherland). Ad content continues below As a Roman epic,The Eagleis an interesting film. Channing Tatum delivers yet another performance that could be seen as intense, if weve not seen it before. Perhaps, one day hell find a balance. As the brooding and dangerous slave, hes at once able to convey brutality and intelligence....
The Harry Potter saga draws to a close with Deathly Hallows Part 2. But has it been worth the wait? And more, sadly, because some of the other parts just arent that good. Putting the stopper in theHarry Potterseries was never going to be easy. This worked as something of a magic mirror for the younger actors, reflecting well on all. In small moments such as this, the film is simply stunning....
E4s witty superhero comedy series, Misfits, has a great, eclectic soundtrack. But I was pleasantly surprised bySwoon (Boys Noise Summer Remix)by The Chemical Brothers, in particular. The fact that the subject matter is so relatable makes the song timeless. Also, the track contains an irritating hiss that runs throughout the majority of the song. Overall, this is an excellent collection of material. Misfits: Original Soundtrackis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store....
We caught up with her twice to talk about the project. Well, its a year later fromChildren Of Earth. You find her in a very derelict limbo, a quiet place. The complete antithesis of what Gwen Cooper is all about. A very boring world for her. A normal world for us. Ad content continues below She gets pulled into a crazy, unnatural worldwide phenomenon. So, she gets pulled in, and my God, she cant wait to get pulled in....
In terms of story, you’re free to guess what to expect. Someones trying to destroy the world, and only a plucky young hero stands a chance of stopping them. The story is intentionally weak, in keeping with the bare-bones approachHalf-Minute Herohas built itself around. in fact, fairly simple. While this may seem like padding, the charm of the game makes up for it. Unfortunately, the charm cannot distract from the length of the overall game....
Yogi Bear, then. With a sequel planned, is the first movie worth picking up on Blu-ray? This removes some of the sympathy for his plight also, rendering the film fairly pointless from the start. Its almost cruel, yet unavoidable to compareYogi Bearto other childrens fare of recent years. The sad fact is, I cant think of a single adult who would find this film appealing. There are several chuckles to be had....
