 Smells like Geek Chic
Director: Edgar Wright
Main Cast: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alison Pil, Mark Webber
Meet Tim and Daisy – twenty-somethings living in London and obsessed with pop culture, to the extent where their life is one big geek dream. One of these dreams during an argument between the characters turns into a bout of real life Tekken! Welcome to the world of Spaced, the TV series that made household names of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and more importantly Edgar Wright. In that one scene the seeds of an idea were planted, and when Mr Wright read Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, his only question was ‘where to sign’?
Cinema Release Date: 25th August 2010

 Smells like a superfast flying turbo badass ninja movie
Director: Yoichi Sai
Main Cast: Ken'ichi Matsuyama, Koyuki, Kaoru Kobayashi, Kôichi Satô, Hideaki Ito
The Lone Ninja is an action picture made by Manga the Japanese anime company, better known for its comics and cartoons - and it feels like it. Having a studio so adept at creating anime strips must have meant that the storyboard for this film was incredible - and ultimately that is both this films success and it's downfall. Many scenes are enormously imaginative but in trying to do too much are let down because the CGI just isn't up to it. In the end the excellent but not quite perfect CGI is a constant distraction that is only somewhat made up for by the fact that the whole thing is slightly surreal anyway. It is, after all, a Japanese ninja movie.

 Smells like paranoid potheads
Director: Ben Wheatley
Main Cast: Robin Hill, Robert Hill, Julia Deakin, David Schaal, Kerry Peacock At first glance this film seems like a poor gritty Brit drama knock off with its grim British seaside during off season setting and shaky camera angles. With no prior knowledge that it is meant to be a comedy you would find yourself thinking something along the lines of “Oh, loach-leigh-arnold-esque without any of their redeeming features”. However, once you start to get inside the heads of the main characters and feel their various neuroses kicking in the blackest of laughter will start to escape you.
Release date: 30th July |
