A very quick look at this weeks UK Film Releases giving you the low down on whether the films are good as in worth seeing,average or grim and maybe worth staying at home and ordering a curry instead. A broad spectrum of films this week including Weekender, Kill List, Attenberg, Fright Night and The Art of Getting By..
This week reviews are sourced from 3 leading sources including Alex Zane of The Sun, The London Evening Standard and aFree Copy of Metro found on public transport earlier today in Central London. A mixture of down to earth and semi aloof ratings. all films have corresponding trailers to help you make your mind up with in depth description courtesy IMDB
Fright Night: A comedy Horror film with the basic plot being A teenager suspects that his new neighbour is a vampire! This is a remake of the 1985 original and of course it’s in 3D as well. Starring Colin Farrell and David Tennant as vampires the laughsare there but certainly will not have you rolling around on the floor, crude jokes are the order of the day with some mickey taking of films such as Twilight and Harry Potter thrown into the mix. There is of course plenty of blood being a vampire film, but that aside the script is very average but this film is being billed as being as good as the original and it has a shocking ending. Rating The Sun 3 stars. Metro 3 Stars The Evening Stnadard Rating 3 stars.
Kill List Genre Horror Thriller. List follows two old friends who happen to be hit men carrying out their first job together in months. It seems their last job didn’t go so well, and Jay (Neil Maskell) is properly haunted by it. Coping with a nagging wife and mounting credit card bills to maintain their semi-wealthy lifestyle is taking its toll on him too, but his pal Gal (Michael Smiley) is on hand to get him back in the saddle. After a tension-filled dinner party, the two head off to meet their new employer in a shady hotel room. The fact that their contract is signed in blood should set off alarm bells for these two. They are given a list of three that need to die, and from here they launch themselves into a dark odyssey of murder, confusion and paranoia that doesn’t let up until the credits roll. Being billed by The Sun as not for the faint hearted, it’s a heart thumping ride with terrific performances from all the stars and is an unsettling watch. Rating The Sun 4 stars. The London Evening Standard 4 stars Metro 4 stars. Undisputed Film of the Week
Weekender: Genre Drama Music 1990. The rave scene has arrived from Ibiza and warehouse parties are exploding across the UK bringing phenomenal wealth to the organisers. In Manchester, best mates Matt and Dylan are in their early 20′s and long to be more than just punters. As the government moves to outlaw the scene, it’s now or never and they quickly rise through the ranks to join the promoting elite. They are taken on a wild journey from the exclusive VIP rooms of London clubs to the outrageous parties in Ibiza super-villas and the hedonism of Amsterdam. Courtesy IMDB The Sun says Energetic performances from the young cast and a pulsating soundtrack paper over the flimsy plot.The party is great whilst it lasts but it doesn’t linger long in the mind. Rating The Sun 3 stars. The Evening Standard Differs with 2 stars Metro agrees with The Sun with 3 stars.
Attenberg. Genre Drama Details: Born and raised in an abandoned mill town, uniformly built around a single high-riseapartment building , Marina has fallen in love with a failed architectural experiment and forgotten all about the people who were supposed to live in it. Built sometime in the sixties, Attenberg was never meant to harbour human warmth in the first place. Its sole purpose was to procure obedient workers for the nearby aluminum factory, offering a colorless life to go with the regulation outfit. Hardly the stuff dreams are made of. The only romance that ever blossoms amidst the white-washed walls of this ghost town is of the fleeting variety, here now and gone tomorrow, as Marina’s promiscuous friend Bella would readily attest to.
This film is set in Greece, features plenty of nudity and focuses on Marina in this glacial environment who cares for her dying father and practices kissing and show routines with her best female friend all this is set to change when a young man hits town and Marinas barriers to human emotion start to crumble. According to the Sun the film may be too subtle for its own good and is neither weird enough to be hilarious nor dark enough to disturb. Rating The Sun 3 stars. The Evening Standard 3 stars. Metro Not reviewed.
The Art of Getting By: Genre Drama Details: George, a lonely and fatalistic teen who’s made it all the way to his senior year without ever having done a real day of work, is befriended by Sally, a popular but complicated girl who recognizes in him a kindred spirit. The Sun says about the film “This all feels lacklustre, George isn’t really a rebel , what should be angst comes across as whimsical petulance. Too safe and predictable” Rating 3 stars. The London Evening Standard says worse and Rating 2 Stars. Metro is in agreement also rating as 2 stars.
