Everywhere & Nowhere is a coming of age Drama Directed by Menhaj Huda (same guy that brought us Kidulthood, 2006). This film is centred around a British Asian torn between honouring his family traditions and his love for DJing. Its Starring James Floyd, Adam Deacon, Alyy Khan, Shivani Ghani, Shaheen Khan, Saeed Jaffrey, Katia Winter & Simon Webbe.
Here's a film that looked like another version of Adulthood/Kidulthood from the trailers but turned out to be a disappointing drama about family, decisions, terrorism and last chances. I thought this was going to be the Asian version to one of Adam Deacons Hood series. Thank god they didn't call this one 'Asianhood'. It had some elements from the film Bend It Like Beckham but this time the main person is a boy and swap the Football for Djing.
We couldn't understand why they thought to put this in the cinema, why not BBC 1 on a random Friday night?. The storyline takes way too long to take form and when it hit the real issue the message was not put across properly. There are scenes that are not really necessary, they spent too much time dwelling on things that don't matter. We the audience do not get enough on other characters to understand them. There's nothing this story tells the audience that the world does not know already. There's also nothing that showed us that it cost a lot to make (a couple flats, houses, nightclubs, couple cars) and that's it really. Also the way it ends it inexcusable. its just seems to come to crashing halt after a major shake of the story's equilibrium.
The best thing about the whole film is the music, the creative and fresh side of our main guy Ash comes in. We hear good remixes to Bollywood classics that we have not heard before. From the end product of this film you wouldn't be able to tell that the same Director Menhaj Huda directed Kidulthood (doesn't show at all). He tries to bring us into the world of other cultures but the story has no charisma. The cinematography & screenplay is average.
Main character Ash (Floyd) did his best but wasn't able to showcase his talent enough. We wondered why Adam Deacon makes a random appearance in this film, he does a great job (as usual) as Zaf but we could obviously tell he was put in this film for it to create a buzz (without him nobody would think twice about watching this). Seems everybody is an actor nowadays even Simon the singer from Blue is doing it, he plays a DJ called Ronnie in love with an Asian girl. Ghani, Buckley, Revah, Winter, Malik, Fletcher, Jaffrey all do good enough job. OK Cast.

Scre4m (Scream 4) is a Thriller Mystery Horror film directed by Wes Craven (same guy that brought us all the previous Screams & Last House On The Left, 2009). Ten Years has passed and Cindy Prescott has managed to piece back her life one book at a time. She goes back to where it all started and unfortunately for her she gets a visit from the Ghostface Killer. Its Starring David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Anthony Anderson, Alison Brie, Rory Culkin, Adam Brody & Mary McDonnell.
THE REVIEW:
So... What's Your Favourite Scary Movie?
Scre4m is back for the fourth instalment in its series and trust us when we say it's something special. The whole production team went that little bit extra to make this one a success. What we have here is a quality & entertaining slasher film. Die-hard fans are in for a special treat as Craven gives us a whole new angle on the Horror genre. This just might be the best Scream since the first one. #Debatable
Slides and Smalls had the opportunity of sitting in for a screening and watching this suspenseful piece of film making. It should be illegal to laugh some of the killings that happen in this film, stab after stab after stab the whole story easily grabs your attention (its actually ridiculous how many stabbings occur). From the opening scenes the laughter naturally starts to roll in. One other thing director got right was the element of surprise, the camera work was perfectly done.
The whole not knowing what was aroused the corner and who was where kept us at the edge of our seats. The music also helped a lot (multiple make you jump scenes). Once the first kill happens we naturally started trying to guess who the killer was, they hide it very well until the reveal it right at the end. It's very scary and funny at the same time (good combination). We recommend anyone who wants blood and laughter will thoroughly enjoy this flick.
The cast as a whole was brilliant. Cox, Arquette, Campbell & Roberts all pull off strong performances that helped it all come together.
#OVERALL: Very Good Horror Film.

Source Code is a Action Sci Fi Thriller film Directed by Duncan Jones (same guy that brought us Moon, 2009) This film centres a soldier who wakes up in another man's body. He soon discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. It's starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright, Russell Peters, Michael Arden & Scott Bakula. #FACT: Topher Grace was also considered for the lead role.
SLIDER'S REVIEW: When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew I had to go see it. Last time I saw Jake Gyllenhaal in a major role was in Love & Other Drugs and his performance there was very heartfelt.
When I watched Source Code I was surprised that it surpassed all my expectations, believe me when I say this is one epic blockbuster (a must see). It's one of the most thrilling rides I've been on whilst watching a film. The action is very hands on and detective like work so were exploring with the lead role, this made it very entertaining. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say this is as good as Inception (yep it's that good). From the moment we meet Capt. Colter Stevens on a train this film had my full attention (it just grabs you from the word Go). I felt like I started off with the main character because he knows as much as I did when the film starts so it felt like we went through understanding the Source Code together.
I loved the twist and turns the storyline takes, one minute I thought I knew what was going to be the outcome... then it switches. it has a very creative plot alongside the type of love story I could see developing. Parts of the film has that jaw dropping effect that just keeps getting better. I think most people who see this film will want to watch it again to understand it more or simply to just to watch it again. I loved the concept that a man could go back 8 minutes using a computer programme before an explosion in a bid to save lives. The visual effects of the explosions looked really cool to watch. The director has produced the world a smart action thriller that does its job extremely well and will be talked about for months to come. The Best Film in 2011 So Far.
Jake Gyllenhaal has done it again. This has got to be his best work on screen in a very long time. His character as Capt. Colter Steven was a very heart pounding person to watch. He carried this film from the moment we set eyes on him all the way to the end. He's a smart and charming man that just had everything his character needed. A Very good actor. Michelle Monaghan is one pretty woman. Her character was Christina. She plays this neatly dressed, well-spoken woman exceptionally well. I'm sure it wasn't easy trying to keep up with forever changing scenarios. The women on the monitor screen is Carol Goodwin, her character is played by Vera Farmiga. She help us understand more as the film goes along. She also is a very good actress. Jeffery Wright plays a very believable Dr. Rutledge. I for one was surprised to see Russell Peters in this film (when did he become an actor?). I have to give credit to the comedian because he does an Applausable job, surprisingly the acting seemed to come natural to him.
This cast was amazing as a whole.
