Following the tradition of such movie as ID and The Football Factory comes The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Hooligan, and it looks right up my street.

'The Inbetweeners' movie is coming to U.S. theaters!

I'm a big fan of the TV show The Inbetweeners. It screens on BBC America over here, and I think it's bloody funny. The English show follows the lives of four friends in the latter years of their school lives. Now the movie based on the show is finally getting a US release, and it is going to hit the theaters. How many, I do not know. But if it plays near me I will be there! The Inbetweeners is set to open on September 7th through Wrekin Hill Entertainment. eOne will also releasing The Inbetweeners: The Complete Series on DVD on July 17th.

Filthy Review - Monster Brawl

MONSTER BRAWL (2011)

By Chris MacGibbon

I want to start this off by saying - I'm not a huge wrestling fan, when I was a youngster I entertained the idea for a few months but the writing got sloppy, heroes turned to villains then back to heroes again, someone got "fired" once a week, it lost its charm quick for me. However, my brothers and their friends are known to be wrestling fans, and on the occasional Monday night or Sunday night pay-per-view; I've caught a match here and there, while I still don't particularly care for it - it does manage to be entertaining despite the flaws.

Originally released in 2009, Life and Death of a Porno Gang is a film that I have been eagerly waiting for. The good news is that Synapse Films will be releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD on August 14th. A Serbian Film has got all of the press going for it, but from what I hear this Serbian Film is a far superior film and I can't wait to check it out.

Filthy Review - Piranha 3DD

PIRANHA 3DD (2012)

Review by Chris MacGibbon

Whenever watching a film involving "something in the water", the solution to the characters' plight always seems rather simple; get the heck out of the water. I mean if you're running, ahem, swimming away from something that is limited to the confines of H20, the answer should be clear. I can only assume those who decide to stay in the water are adhering to nature's selection.

Filthy Review - Man on a Ledge

Man on a Ledge (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

You just have to love the high concept movie. Well, you don’t have to, but when they are done well they can be great fun. We’ve had terrorists in a high rise in Die Hard, a bomb on a bus in Speed and now a man on a ledge in Man on a Ledge. Genius. Now, I will admit to thinking that surely this was some kind of joke when I first read about the movie. I mean seriously, a movie about a man standing on a ledge? It’ll either be boring as hell or depressing beyond belief. I was very wrong though; this movie was a blast.

'Crows Zero II' UK DVD release details

Filthy Review - The House

The House (2007)

Review by Jude Felton

Over the years there have been some terrific horror flicks that have come out of Thailand, movies such as Shutter, Dorm and The Eye. Even the slightly less impressive, but still enjoyable flicks such as Sick Nurses and P offered up something worthwhile for the viewer. So, it confuses me a little as to why The House, which is directed by The Victim’s Monthon Arayangkoon, has taken so long to get this UK release. Am sure it could be any one of numerous reasons, although the quality of the film I would think it not the reason. The House doesn’t tread any real new ground, but what it does it does quite well.
