		<description><![CDATA[I'm a little late on writing up details of the latest set of Criterion Blu-Ray/DVD upcoming titles, mainly because Brian Carmody, the guy who deals with the CC press release, didn't wish to send out a newsletter to me this month. Maybe he thought we had shut down when we went quiet for a month or so.

Anyway, for now I've had to go off what The Playlist tell me.

The big release that really caught my eye for February was Steve McQueen's debut film, the 2008 British Cannes selection Hunger, starring Inglourious Basterds actor Michael Fassbender which gets a Blu-Ray and DVD release.

Set in the Thatcherite Britain of 1981, the movie tells the final 66 days of Provisional IRA member Bobby Sands' life, when he starved himself to death in a media frenzied hunger strike, protesting against the prison conditions he was being kept under at HM Prison Maze. He died aged 27.



Hunger was released on DVD earlier this year in the U.K, a film I actually own but haven't gotten around to watching yet. The Region 2 release was pretty bog standard stuff, with only a making of featurette, a couple of interviews and the theatrical trailer. One hopes Criterion ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people will have now started to hear the early buzz around Tarantino's latest (thank God for Twitter eh?), and read my frankly profane initial reaction. I stand by it whole-heartedly, and I'm more than willing to indulge Tarantino's proclamation that Inglourious Basterds is a bona-fide masterpiece. You'll notice the plot details are conspicuous by their absence: if you wanted to know them in detail, the script is online (plus the multifarious reviews who have gone Spoiler crazy today), and if you have chosen not to read that I assume me spoiling it now would simply be unwelcome.



Firstly, I feel it necessary to address some of the issues that other early reviews have focused upon negatively. Rad this slowly, take in every word and digest: Inglourious Basterds is a FANTASY film, if you want a realistic war epic, this isnt the place to come (and if you didnt get that from the trailer, then shame on you for not paying attention). It is a hybrid pulp fiction set in World War II, which has to rank as an enormously brave thing to do: the saturation of that particular market is such that I was inclined to think we probably didnt need ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Empire have an exclusive first look at Bond girl Olga Kurylenko in CENTURION, the new movie from THE DESCENT, DOOMSDAY and DOG SOLDIERS director Neil Marshall.

From the looks of things, it's DOOMSDAY the movie will share the most similarities with...



The movie is a relentless action-adventure set in AD 117, which Empire have worked out is some six decades before Russell Crowe took vengeance in GLADIATOR.

In the movie she plays Etain, a savage-looking Pict warrior woman...
“Etain is kind of revenge incarnate,” says the writer/director, speaking to Empire exclusively on set. “Her family were butchered by the Romans, she had her tongue cut out by the Romans, she’s had a hell of a time and she’s out for Roman blood.”
A silent lead?

Interesting. 

Co-starring with Kurylenko is INGLORIOUS BASTERDS and HUNGER actor Michael Fassbender, along with Dominic West, Noel Clarke, David Morrisey, JJ Feild and Riz Ahmed. 

The movie was shot in Surrey and Scotland and should be out at the end of the year. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here... Eden Lake opens in the U.K. tomorrow, if you've been a regular cinema attendee over the last few weeks you won't have been able to miss this one. Rollercoaster Films and Optimum Releasing have done a terrific job of marketing the creepy thriller with the sheer amount of posters and the really cool trailer I keep stumbling across.


I plan on it seeing it over the weekend. The trailer grabbed me in a way that fairly similar themed recent attempts at low budget British horror haven't like Shrooms or The Cottage. There seems to be a big heart to this one and a big social message behind it and a genuine effectiveness in conjuring up some real scares.

The movie follows a young couple whose attempt to enjoy a romantic weekend away is spoiled by a group of youthful louts, who may be more dangerous than you would think at first glance. Finn Atkins and the recently plucked by Tarantino for his next movie Inglorious Bastards - Michael Fassbender star.

In an OWF Exclusive, yesterday we got a chance to speak to the writer/director behind the film James Watkins who was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking our very ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

What's in a name? Well, when you're dealing with the more disturbing side of human nature, quite a lot, as seen in the new British horror/thriller Eden Lake which takes the oft-used tack of throwing its protagonists into isolation and unfamiliarity, and eventually a hell of a lot worse.

Of course, isolated locales are the bread and butter of this genre, from Aussie Outback shocker Wolf Creek to the daddy of lakeside horrors Friday the 13th, but writer/director James Watkins knows this full well and simply gets on with the job of creating that separateness, even throwing in a couple of overhead panning shots a la the Shining for good measure.

Based around the attempt by a young couple (played by Kelly Reilly and Michael Fassbender) to have a weekend away at the titular lake before being ignored, harassed, confronted and then brutalized by a gang of teenage thugs, the film plays relatively effectively on the current zeitgeist of apparently uncontrolled youth violence.

Kelly Reilly’s character, Jenny, is a schoolteacher and we’re shown as an introduction the idyllic innocence of her young charges. This, ‘ah, aren’t children sweet’ moment is an obvious juxtaposition to the inevitable meeting with their older and more offensive ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fox Searchlight have put a halt to their adaptation of the popular 70's British crime series The Sweeney after discussions over it's potential worldwide appeal went a bit sour.

The movie was set to lense in a few short weeks with Ray Winstone (as the older veteran cop made famous by the late John Thaw) and Michael Fassbender (as the young partner) as detectives in the Flying Squad police unit.

But problems with...

A) The original show being an unknown quantity outside of the U.K.

B) Winstone and Fassbender as unproven box office draws.

has halted the film.


The plan is now to delay the production until next year when they might be able to find a bigger name duo, or at least one bigger name to star alongside the other in the film. I would suggest it's not necessarily Fassbender who will be dropped from the film because it's ok he is an unknown, it's the bigger star that needs to carry the film and although Winstone is a popular actor in the crime genre in the U.K. - he is not a proven leading actor.

Which is a shame because I think he would own this movie and I would rather see him in this ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[German born but Ireland raised actor Michael Fassbender has joined Inglorious Bastards.

The 300 actor who also appeared in several episodes of Band of Brothers will play Lt. Archie Hichox, the role that Simon Pegg had been offered but had to turn down due to scheduling conflicts.

Variety describe Fassbender as a "method" actor of the extreme Daniel Day-Lewis kind, claiming that he even emaciated himself to play Irish republican hunger striker Bobby Sands in a recent Indie film biopic.
Not that this role will expect much from him other than a convincing British accent.
Less distracting than Pegg for sure, maybe this whole change of actor thing is for the best. ]]></description>
