10 quick questions with Henry Rollins about ‘He Never Died’
4 hours ago
One of my favourite films from last years Grimmfest was the stunning vampire movie come theological horror He Never Died, (review) which sees Henry Rollins play Jack, a social outcast, who is thrust out of his comfort zone when the outside world bangs on his door and he can’t contain his violent past. As it turns out, there are very few reasons to live when you can’t die…
With He Never Died coming to streaming service We Are Colony, we’ve teamed up with them (they know just how much I Love the film!) to bring you this special quickfire Q&A with Henry Rollins. And if you want to know more, you can see He Never Died, along with behind-the-scenes extras – like the one at the end of this interview – on We Are Colony at www.wearecolony.com/he-never-died

Their pasts have provoked a vengeful force to show them the errors in their ways. The home they have been summoned to becomes their court and their prison. »

‘Alienated’ Review
11 hours ago
Stars: George Katt, Jen Burry, Taylor Negron | Written and Directed by Brian Ackley
Reality check: Alienated isn’t a science fiction film. I know, I know, it’s got “alien” in the title, and yes, there are UFOs involved in the story. However, Alienated is as much a sci-fi film as two pieces of bread with jam smeared lightly on the crust is a sandwich. No, this film’s filling is very much a drama, with a light sprinkling of sci-fi on top.
I found Alienated a very interesting film to watch. It quickly became apparent that this film wasn’t going to be as alien heavy as I had initially hoped, but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The more I watched the more I realised that the writing in this film is really, really good. Basically, the film is about a married couple arguing about the issues »

‘Better Call Saul 2×04: Gloves Off’ Review
13 hours ago
“That’s a bell you don’t un-ring.”
The secret to not living in a state of perpetual regret is, of course, to make the right choice in the first place. Witness Jimmy scrambling to correct his eminently preventable error, one that saw Kim banished to document processing in the basement of Hhm, and you have all the object lesson you need in playing by the rules over taking the path of least resistance. “You’re like an alcoholic who can’t admit he has a problem,” a deeply un-self-aware Chuck, so brittle from an imagined disease that his every motion crackles and crunches thanks to the foil he wears, chides his errant brother. He’s right, though. Jimmy does what he wants and then tries to paper over the cracks. To him, life really is one big episode of Let’s Make a Deal.

Brand new trailer & poster for ‘Hardcore Henry’
8 March 2016 9:13 AM, PST
Strap in. Hardcore Henry is an original film that was shot completely from the hero’s perspective (inspired by That online sensation from a few years ago). The film comes from producers Timur Bekmambetov, Ilya Naishuller, Inga Vainshtein Smith, Ekaterina Kononenko and is written and directed by Ilya Naishuller. Hardcore Henry‘s cast includes Sharlto Copley, Danila Kozlovsky, Haley Bennett, Andrey Dementyev, Dasha Charusha, and Sveta Ustinova.
You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. Who’s got her? His name’s Akan (Danila Kozlovsky); he’s a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, »

‘Vinyl 1×04: The Racket’ Review
8 March 2016 8:53 AM, PST
“Put it into the couch, not your marriage.”
‘The Racket’ is loud, angry, and fucking hilarious. It begins with Richie taking his anger out not on his and Devon’s relationship but, at his glacially calm therapist’s suggestion, on the couch. With a tennis racket. His subsequent golden-boy claim that he’s worked out his shit is just one of the many rackets in an episode which ends with our hero seeking not catharsis but an alibi, from his estranged father no less, for Buck’s murder. Everyone’s cheating and chiseling everyone out of everything, and nobody’s in on the joke. ‘The Racket’ feels like throat-clearing from Vinyl‘s emerging voice, at once frustrated and playful, riotous and contemplative.
Lester walking into Richie’s office to burn the reel Richie put together from his old material is a good scene on its own. The man who lost »

Running in native 1080p on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Sniper Elite 4 is the first game in the series built without the constraints of older hardware and aims to deliver the definitive World War Two shooter for a generation.

Set in the immediate aftermath of its award-winning predecessor, Sniper Elite 4 continues the series’ World War Two heritage by transporting players to the beautiful and diverse environments of Italy in 1943. Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne must fight alongside »

‘The Venture Bros 6×06: It Happening One Night’ Review
8 March 2016 4:22 AM, PST
“We’ll know how cool we look.”
I think the Monarch just murdered Andy Warhol. Or Wes Warhammer, anyway. Who may or may not have been Andy Warhol. ‘It Happening One Night’ sadly repairs the hole in the floor of Venture Tower, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the season’s best entries so far. From Hank’s dorky-sweet date to the Monarch’s lunatic raid on the Doom Factory’s lair, there was plenty to recommend the episode. It even managed to whip up a little tension with a moment that looked like it was heading for a repeat on 24′s death when the Monarch, eager to do a slow-motion-jump-away-from-the-explosion deal, got his coat snagged during his heroic leap. Shying away from pulling that trigger is understandable, and the brick joke that lands at the episode’s end as a result is side-splitting.

Horse Racing Movies Based on True Events
8 March 2016 2:03 AM, PST
In 2003 Universal Pictures released Seabiscuit, an Oscar-nominated film about horse racing in Depression-era America. Based on a true story, the film had the feel good factor, and perhaps introduced many to the thrilling world of horse racing for the first time. Seabiscuit, the horse, was undersized and unfancied, yet thrilled America with wonderful victories in many races, with the film astutely capturing the atmosphere of the time. However, Seabiscuit was not the first – and perhaps not the best – movie about the sport of kings.
Champions (1984) stars John Hurt as Bob Champion the legendary English jockey who had great success in the 1970s and 1980s. The film portrays Champion’s battle against testicular cancer and how he overcame the disease to win the 1981 Grand National. John Hurt – as ever – is brilliant in the role as the star jockey, giving a nuanced performance that highlights what it takes to be at the »
