Marvelous Movie Monday

Now I'm not that big a fan of romantic comedies but every now and again one comes along that somehow just hits that soft spot I've got hidden away. The latest film to uncover that spot is 'Green With Envy' the new romantic comedy staring Amy Adams and Jason Segel. It's the story of a small town couple who head to Hollywood and discover their dreams of hitting the big time may cost them the one thing that matters most -- each other.

This trailer is that has just hit the net and I promise that once it's over you'll have this film at the top of your must see list.

Fabulous Film Friday

I went to see Joe Cornish's debut feature Attack The Block today. It has confirmed my feelings that the future of British cinema is in very good hands. It's made me really happy to see directors like Joe Cornish, Richard Ayoade and Edgar Wright producing films that appeal to a wide audience and proves that Britain is not all petticoats and East End gangsters. 

Both Film4 and the UK Film Council also deserve credit for putting money into these films and the UK Film Council will be sadly missed. So if you want to see a great film I'd recommend you visit your local cinema to see Attack The Block, head to your local HMV and buy a copy of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim and then head back to your local cinema and demand they screen Submarine because you want to see it on a big screen.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about then just take a look at these trailers for Richard Ayoade's Submarine, Joe Cornish's Attack The Block and Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz.

Happy Viewing!

Invasion Of The Not Quite Dead Teaser

Last year I discovered filmmaker AD Lane's totally fan funded film project 'Invasion Of The Not Quite Dead'. I was very impressed with what I saw at the time and signed up as initially as a Pre-Order Producer and later upgraded to an Associate Producer. AD is using Twitter as a way of raising awareness of the project and regularly embarks on tweetathons where he stays awake for upwards of 50 hours. During the last tweetathon I donated a further few pounds and was lucky enough to win a prize draw where my producer credit was upgraded to Ultimate Producer and I bagged one ofthe costumes you can see in the newly released teaser trailer.

At the beginning of April AD and his crew went to Bulgaria to shoot the 1970's based intro to the film - and this is the resulting teaser trailer.

AD is currently engaged in a 55 hour tweetathon which ends tonight so if you can spare £10 or more then please sign up to become a producer on the film - the perks are amazing and if you donate before the end of the tweetathon you'll be entered into a prize draw for an Ultimate Producer upgrade and a costume. I won last time so you really are in with a chance of winning. Head to the official 'Invasion Of The Not Quite Dead' website to see what's on offer and make your donation.
