Showbiz dynamo Ann-Margret tries on ‘teenage hellion’ for size. She terrorizes the straight, impossibly patient John Forsythe, sending him on a weekend ordeal with razor-wielding hooligans. He can kiss both his marriage and his political ambitions goodbye: who will believe David when Jody claims he took advantage of her? Douglas Heyes’ sordid suspense thriller has a loser reputation but is big fun in the star-watching game: Ann-Margret has no choice but to go way over the top and chew scenery, and the direction doesn’t offer enough support. The technical remaster is excellent, and the disc extras generous.

It’s finally here in all its glory, the Howard Hawks movie nobody loves. The epitome of clueless ’60s filmmaking by an auteur who left his thinking cap back with Bogie and Bacall, this show is a PC quagmire lacking the usual compensation of exploitative thrills. But hey, it has a hypnotic appeal all its own: we’ll not abandon any movie where Teri Garr dances.

Goals from Morgan Schneiderlin, Jack Cork and Graziano Pelle ensured Southampton claimed their first home win of the new season with a convincing 4-0 victory over Newcastle at St. Mary’s on Saturday.
Ronald Koeman made a couple of starting changes to his side that beat West Ham last week – seeing him choose new signing Toby Aldeweireld in favour of Maya Yoshida and Jack Cork ahead of James Ward Prowse in central midfield.
Alan Pardew’s side, which managed a 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace last weekend, saw Jack Colback returning to full fitness after picking up a calf injury in training that ruled him out of the England vs Switzerland encounter.
Saints set off with high energy and nearly found the net after twenty seconds with a chase down by Shane Long from a back pass by Coloccini – Krul slammed the ball...

Called “The Woodstock of Gore” by Guillermo Del Toro, otherwise more commonly known to the rest of us as FILM4 FrightFest, has recently announced the line-up of its 15th annual instalment that runs from Thursday 21st to Monday 25th August. This year sees FrightFest relocate to a new home at the Vue West End, Leicester Square, which has become home to the annual FrightFest All-Nighter.
In the year that sees one of the world’s leading genre festivals set down new roots, the programme will take on an international flavour whilst ensuring it embraces both genre features and shorts with “sixty-four films plus twenty shorts across five screens. There are sixteen countries representing five continents with a record-breaking thirty-eight UK or European premieres and eleven world premieres.”

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie hit cinemas on Friday (June 27), as Brendan O'Carroll brought Mammy and co. to the big screen.
While the BBC sitcom has always proved to be hugely popular with viewers, the critics have remained less impressed. However, will a film version change their opinions?
Below, Digital Spy rounds up the reactions to D'Movie.
The Guardian - Mike McCahill
"You sense O'Carroll has diluted his own show's essence for wider multiplex consumption: while the sitcom could be broad, it was often clever with it, and never this bland.
"Unlike Guest House Paradiso or Kevin and Perry Go Large or Keith Lemon, D'Movie is never aggressively, in-your-face bad; it's more a flatly indifferent cash-in – and the devoted fanbase this character has accrued over the past decade may yet rally to ensure it does indeed become another Inbetweeners-style box-office bonanza: comedy is subjective, after all.

In contemporary genre-splash Indiewood, the task is simple but bedevilling: You have an HD camera and a modest house in the L.A. hills; now what do you do? Shane Carruth, among others, has proven that you don't need much more — just add ideas. Call it Home-Based Sci-Fi: From 2006's Right at Your Door to 2012's It's a Disaster, these movies evoke apocalypse but never actually leave the dining room. Launching into a torrent of unmitigated exposition over wine glasses, Coherence is the paradigm eating itself, almost literally, flirting with absurdity by way of some hoary pseudo-science, and getting happily lost in the conundrums. And it's still only eight Hollywood fringies at a dinner party, talking their pretty heads off.

It surprises me a little that we haven't yet posted about James Ward's Coherence. The movie was a big hit at last year's Fantastic Fest and has made the rounds at various other genre festivals and it's finally getting a well deserved release.
It may well be a low budget affair but Coherence is also the kind of little movie with legs. It's been months since I saw it and there are entire sequences that occasionally come to mind along with the occasional little trivial bit of dialogue or story point. It's genius in the kind of way that Primer is genius and it's likely to generate the same sort of enthusiasm from film fans once it gets out to a wider audience.

Southampton will climb above Spurs into eighth place in the Premier League table with a win at St Mary’s in the first of two Sunday matches. Hotspur meanwhile are looking to bounce back after successive defeats in all competitions.
Tim Sherwood remains in caretaker charge of Tottenham after Andre Villas-Boas was sacked this week. Gareth Bale, who has since been sold to Real Madrid, came back to haunt the Saints as he scored in Hotspur colours in a 2-1 win in the corresponding fixture last season.
Spurs have won three of the last four meetings and historically had the better of these encounters. Nigel Quashie was the player that gave Southampton their last win over Tottenham in March 2005, but the team went on to be relegated on the final day of the season.

With England’s place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil confirmed national coach Roy Hodgson can now begin to assess his options. There were few surprises in the squad announced to face Chile and Germany in Wembley friendlies.
Southampton pair Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez, 25 and 24 respectively, earned deserved call-ups as the Saints continue to fly high under Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino. The Three Lions roster is getting an increasingly younger flavour through regular inclusions of defenders Kyle Walker, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones among others.
Everton starlet Ross Barkley and Spurs winger Andros Townsend have also broken into the squad this season. They join a recalled Jordan Henderson and forwards Danny Welbeck and Daniel Sturridge – all being well – on international duty over the next couple of weeks.
Hodgson has already shown he is prepared to place his faith in youth, but the usual suspects still remain.

According to Prodigy Movies producer Michael Robertson, his company will continue to make genre-based lower budget films even though Road Train failed at the box office.
“Road Train did not perform at the box office and will now go out as a DVD in March next year, but the reason I am pursuing genre-based lower budget storylines is that they do sell overseas, and I have the track record of Black Water, Road Train (aka Road Kill in the United States) and the soon-to-be-released The Reef to show for this,” Robertson told Encore.
Road Train was released in South Australia on October 21. It received positive reviews, but it didn’t succeed at the box office.
“This is a contrary reaction to the film’s achievements overseas as per the sales it has obtained, including the most recent one to Korea at the American Film Market. The 30+ countries that have all...
