James Absolon explains how this Pope-themed film, despite its risky premise, works
Alex Pollard reviews Hollywood's biopic of the controversial Margaret Thatcher
This week at YSC we have a little bit of everything, from fearsome vampires in Fright Night, drunken laughs in The Inbetweeners Movie, as well as discovering what happens when sci-fi meets western in Cowboys and Aliens. Meanwhile there are two grittier offerings from campus's other two societies, first in the form of a Hong Kong crime drama City on Fire from World Cinema, then featuring Eminem starring as an up-and-coming rapper in 8-Mile at Movie Soc.
When ancient undead evil (Colin Farrell) moves in next door, young Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) must protect those he loves with a little help from David Tennant. The result is a glorious slice of comedy horror that should delight both fans of the 1985 cult classic and new converts alike, as it mixes the hilarious and the terrifying in this rather different vampire movie.
After three series, The Inbetweeners finally make it to the big screen in style, as they take a trip to Malia, Crete in an attempt to experience all the world has to offer having left school. But this fails to go to plan as instead chaos and confusion sets in, as the boys struggle to come away from the whole experience on top. The Inbetweeners Movie should appeal to all fans of the series and more.
After bringing Iron Man to the big screen, Jon Favreau teams up with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig to deliver this fantastic mix of good old sci-fi thrills and the atmosphere of the old west. The result is an exciting adventure with a great cast that never lets up, in this superior blockbuster that shows you the old west in a way you have never seen it before.
Eminem stars in this drama about a young, white rapper trying to make it big in a poor area of Detroit. 8 Mile is widely regarded as a well done variation on the theme of underdog story, and of course features an excellent soundtrack, including the Oscar winning 'Loose Yourself'
Among the many films Quentin Tarantino has paid homage to in his movies, this is perhaps the most renowned. The Hong Kong action flick is now famous for being the main influence of Tarantino's Indie classic Reservoir Dogs. What he film lack in inventiveness of plot it makes up for in style, and worth a watch in its own right.
