Hello!

CrimeFighters Directed by Miles Watts 2010

What the filmmakers have to say

CrimeFighters is an action comedy from the makers of the cult web series ‘Zomblogalypse’. Set in the sleepy town of York, England, CrimeFighters tells the story of three bored friends swept into vigilantism to protect their small town from a wave of inexplicable crime.

The film was shown in the 2010 Edinburgh International Film Festival, Arizona Underground Film Festival and around the UK in Picturehouses cinemas.

With sly nods to comic books and pop culture, CrimeFighters is the second feature film from MilesTone Films and the first feature film made entirely in York. Shot on a microbudget, CrimeFighters demonstrates in beautiful black & white that not only is the city Yorkshire’s answer to Gotham but that it contains a wealth of filmmaking talent within its walls.

The story: Ella, Pip and Daisy are determined to make a change from their repetitive lives, soul-crushing jobs and frequent trips to the pub when their plans are thwarted by an unexpected crimewave that sweeps them up into vigilantism to protect their once peaceful town.

What we have to say

Having seen CrimeFighters I can safely say that if your into the whole sub-genre of realism superhero films, then this is an essential viewing. Yes its not got anywhere near the budget of of other so called indie real person superhero films like Kick-Ass, or even James Gunn’s Super, but what CrimeFighters has is a care and enjoyment of itself.

The film seems to take influences ranging from the obvious Edgar Wright comparison’s, to shades of Hitchcock, Kubrick and even Raoul Walsh’s White Heat, but that’s my opinion.

So why not sit back and enjoy the next 75 minutes of super stylistic, ass kicking fun……. (Allow to fully download before watching and select HD/full screen)

Hello!

Blu-ray and DVD Releases UK WC: 20/02/2012

Warrior [Blu-ray]

This was my number 5 film of last year and this is what I said about its then “Warrior is, at its heart, a pretty conventional movie about fighting for sport. Its filled with cliches and it’s obvious what is going to happen from the start, there are no twists, shocks or surprises here. So why is it my number 5 film of the year? Because it contains two of the best acting performances of the year from Tom Hardy & Nick Nolte. Hardy is a force as Tommy Conlon, a man so fueled by rage it occupies his entire existence. Tommy isn’t competing to be the best, he is not competing for the money really, his absolute rage is what is controlling him, and Hardy proves he is the finest character actor we have seen in a long long time. If Hardy is not even nominated for an Academy award for this role then the Academy is truly fucked! But Hardy is not alone in his magnificence. Nick Nolte gives a near career best performance as a recovering drunk who just wants his sons to not hate him. Nolte gives the most heartbreaking performance of a man whose mistakes in the past haunt him, no matter what he tries. Joel Edgerton is also non to shabby as well. If Warrior doesn’t reduce you to tears at least once then you have no soul!” 

Real Steel [Blu-ray]

Rocky with robots. This is not a great film, but that doesn’t stop it from being a thoroughly enjoyable film to switch off your brain and just sit back and let it flow over you.

Fright Night (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray)

A surprisingly enjoyable remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 original. Colin Farrell steals the show as Jerry the vampire, but for me the biggest let down was a terrible turn from David Tennant. If your a fan of the vampire genre then there is plenty to take from this film.

Repo Man (1984) [Masters of Cinema] (LTD Edition Steelbook) [Blu-ray]

 This is the big genre release of the week, fans of Alex Cox have been waiting for a long time for Repo Man to find its way to Blu-ray, and this comes stacked with features -

  • Isolated music and effects track
  • Audio commentary with Cox and executive producer Michael Nesmith, casting director Victoria Thomas, and actors Sy Richardson, Zander Schloss, and Del Zamora
  • All-new 2012 video piece by Cox offering further thoughts on the film
  • Repo Man (entire TV version) – this legendary variant, prepared by Cox for network television, incorporates deleted material and surreal overdubs in place of profanity
  • Repossessed – a retrospective video piece on the making of the film, featuring Cox, producers Peter McCarthy and Jonathan Wacks, and actors Del Zamora, Sy Richardson, and Dick Rude
  • The Missing Scenes – a roundtable viewing of deleted scenes from the film with Cox, executive producer Michael Nesmith, real-life neutron bomb inventor Sam Cohen, and character “J. Frank Parnell”
  • Up Close with Harry Zen Stanton – an extended interview with the legendary actor
  • Original theatrical trailer
  • A 48-page full colour booklet specially created by Cox, entitled The Repo Code and incorporating all manner of Repo ephemera

Other releases :-

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark [Blu-ray]

Caligula Unlimited Edition [Blu-ray]

There Be Dragons [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray and DVD Releases US WC: 20/02/2012

Tower Heist (2 Disc Blu-ray Combo + DVD + Digital Copy)

One of the biggest flops of last year, Brett Ratner’s comedy/crime film still broke $100m at the box office, but due to its $85m+ budget means it underperformed. My issue with it was it’s action scene’s were not gripping enough and it just forgot to be funny.

J. Edgar (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + UltraViolet Digital Copy)

Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar Hoover biopic failed to garner the early praise promised, but I’ve still yet to see it so I’ll reserve judgement until then.

Martha Marcy May Marlene [Blu-ray]

Martha Marcy May Marlene has proved to be one of the most unsettling films of the year and promises to do for Elizabeth Olsen, what Winters Bone did for Jennifer Lawrence. Plus any film with John Hawkes is going to be good, isn’t it!

Other releases :-

The Son of No One [Blu-ray]

World on a Wire (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Alien vs. Ninja (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Anatomy of a Murder (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

So there you go pop your shoes on and go grab something, or make yourself a coffee, log on, and get buying!

Anyway peace out suckers!
