Odeon's Screen Unseen scheme offers mystery discounted previews. Why, then, have people been grumbling?
On Monday night, I settled into the Odeon Dudley at 8 o’clock. It was a half-full screen, and we’d each paid a lower than usual price – just over a fiver apiece – for a surprise film.
It’s part of Odeon Cinema’s ongoing Screen Unseen programme, whereby it puts on an upcoming release, with the proviso that you don’t find out what the movie is until the BBFC certificate at the start tells you. You don’t get lots of ads – just a handful of trailers – and then you’re into the movie itself.
Odeon does like a little tease ahead of such screenings. It likes to posit a series of clues on its Facebook account, clues that tend to bear little to no relevance whatsoever to the film itself. For instance,...

The technology of seemingly distant futures in science fiction films and novels is now seeping into the real world of the present day, and at the upcoming Alien Expo in Dallas, sci-fi fans can gather to celebrate the facts and the fiction of the beloved genre.
Press Release: From the producers of Alien Con comes an experience unlike any other! For three days at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel and Convention Center, Alien Expo will be bringing you the best in science fact, science fiction and pop culture!
The line between myth and reality is attenuating. What previous generations deemed unlikely or even impossible is sitting on the brink of mainstream exposure: missions to Mars, virtual reality gaming, evidence of alien lifeforms. When Paul Reiser and Sigourney Weaver filmed the scene in Aliens featuring a video phone call, they surely couldn’t have predicted the appeareance of internet programs like Skype or FaceTime.

“Megyn Kelly Presents” averaged 4.7 million viewers on Tuesday night, but based on the reviews, the majority of them may have been disappointed. Critics described the Fox News anchor’s broadcast debut on Fox as “awkward,” “pointless,” “boring” and “unimpressive.” A few even took issue with Kelly plugging her upcoming autobiography, instead of pressing her biggest guest, presumptive Gop nominee Donald Trump, on important issues. “Last night brought the no-news interview and an unabashed promotion for what she disclosed (lucky viewers) would be an upcoming autobiography, including her year of ‘torment’ with Trump,” Vanity Fair’s James Warren wrote, while Los...

When EC Comics was taken down by the Comics Code in the 1950s, horror comics were never the same afterward. Fans were left with bland stories and artwork that could never compare to the gory days of pre-code comics. Then, in 1964, James Warren released Creepy. Since Creepy was presented in magazine format, it was not subject to the Code, and readers were once again treated to stories of blood and gore. We wanted to pay homage to the magazine th…...

Jackass 3D
Guest Review by James Warren
Stars: Johnny Knoxville, Wee Man, Bam Margera, Steve-o, Ryan Dunn, Preston Lacy, Chris Pontius, Ehren McGhehey, Dave England | Written by Preston Lacy | Directed by Jeff Tremaine
Compare and Contrast:
“When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that’s not what’s happening now with 3-D. It is a renaissance – right now the biggest and the best films are being made in 3-D” – James Cameron, Interview 2010
“Hi, I’m Steve-o and this is the Poo Cocktail Bungee” - Steve-o, Jackass 3D 2010
James Cameron would have the cinema going public believe that 3D films are reaching a golden period of creativity. With the release of Jackass 3D I believe he would also condemn...
