Horror fans today are spoiled. With the vast array of films available on DVD and Blu-ray via storefronts like Best Buy and Fye, online outlets like Amazon and Deep Discount, and rental/streaming services such as Netflix, there are few films that are unattainable. Virtually anything one might hear of is available some way, somewhere. But it wasn't always so...
Back at a time before disc (or VHS for that matter), the only way - and I mean the Only way - to see classic and not so classic genre pictures was on broadcast television. As a kid, I remember getting the local TV Guide and a yellow highlighter and systematically going through the listings, marking each and every show time of movies I'd heard about either from friends or ones that were obliquely mentioned in Forry Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland . I would meticulously go over each entry...

On an remarkably sunny October day the crowds gathered outside the Empire cinema in London’s Leicester Square to celebrate the premiere of the second Johnny English movie, which we at HeyUGuys have been tracking over recent months. Rowan Atkinson arrived in the amazing Rolls Royce from the film and after being interviewed by the waiting TV crews came and spoke to HeyUGuys (Hug) and the rest of the press (Rotp) in the media area.

Rowan Atkinson – Johnny English
[crowd cheers "Rowan"!]
Ra: This can’t be a good environment for audio can it? [chuckles]
HeyUGuys: Back when you were doing the credit card adverts and saying lines like “smell the touareg camp fires” you must have know you were on to a good idea but did you realise just how good?
Ra: The good thing about those original credit card commercials was that they were very “filmic”, they were like little movies, so...

Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
Hop – Russell Brand, James Marsden, Elizabeth Perkins
Insidious – Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins
Source Code – Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga
Movie of the Week
Source Code
The Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga
The Plot: A soldier (Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown commuter and is forced to live and relive a harrowing train bombing until he can determine who is responsible for it.
The Buzz: Source Code looks to be a Quantum Leap meets Groundhog Day sci-fi action romp. 35 seconds into the film’s trailer, I half expected Jake Gyllenhaal to utter, “oh boy.” He instead exclaims, “no, no, no, no,” as if to echo my thoughts exactly — I don’t want to see Gyllenhaal act the same “stop the terrorist on the train” scene, over and over and over again.
