Another UK Trailer For THE GUARD

No comments:
























Whilst alot of filmgoers look towards the bigmovies for a few laughs and this year those big hitters have been a big letdown, so still wanting a good laugh this year? Take a look at independent films and you’ll find the cracking little Irish comedy THE GUARD. Starring Brendon Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Mark Strong and Liam Cunningham this movie will give you charm, politically incorrect profane humour, quirky one liners, off beat and a great laugh well thats according to the festivals this movie has been playing at including last week opening the Edinburgh Film festival. Optimum Releasing have released a new UK trailer which has loads of new footage, cant wait to see this when its released in UK on July 8th with Sony Picture Classics releasing the movie in USA on July 29th.

“I’m Irish sure, racism is part of my culture!” – Sergent Gerry Cole (Brendan Gleeson).

Sergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town Irish cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humour, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international drug-smuggling ring that has brought FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door.Boyle drifts through life, not much concerned about anything, not even the mysterious murder of a man in one of the town’s holiday cottages. But when Everett shows Boyle the mugshots of four drug traffickers, he recognises one of them as the dead man.And so the two cases converge, with a bemused Everett finding himself adrift in the decidedly original and sometimes surreal world of Sergeant Gerry Boyle, the last of the independents!

This trailer is very powerful, dark, tense, suspenseful but most of all fantastic! The Looking Glass has been described as "dark fairytale weaving together magic, mystery and suspense which follows Paul on a dangerous journey to a strange nocturnal world peopled by exotic beauties, criminals, and grotesques."
directed by Colin Downey starring Patrick O'Donnell and Natalia Kostrzewa. with a dude in it who looks more scarier than Freddy Krueger!!!

Paul is a troubled young man living in a rural cottage with his pregnant girlfriend, Clare. While dealing with the sudden arrival of his sinister mother-in-law and coming to terms with his impending fatherhood, Paul constantly struggles to escape the traumas of his childhood.

Last Week we gave you the teaser trailer and this week its the full trailer for Irish comedy ZONAD .

From beyond the very limits of our imagination comes a stranger. Who is he? What is he? And why is he so thirsty? These are the very questions asked by the inhabitants of Ballymoran, a sleepy village nestled deep in the Gilhooly mountains when they discover a “visitor” in their midst. - Quietearth
So if anyone says to you Irish movies are dull think again after you see this. I do hope this gets a run in UK as its a bundle of laughs, when you can have fun and have a little pot at your nation you are game for a laugh. Zonad is got the humour that got Father Ted tv series popular in the 1990s and if you like that you'll like this.

No dates of an UK release but Zonad will be released nationwide in Ireland from March 17th .

Trailer for Irish post apocalyptic movie DITCHING

Below is the trailer for Northern Irish Arthouse drama called DITCHING. The movie is set in a post apocalyptic Northern Ireland where the Ulster is a dangerous fuedal and depopulated land, full of decaying towns with primative techonolgy. The people are confused and have also forgotten there troubled pasts and improvise ceremovies and games but still give no comfort to the world around them that makes them feel threatened but have no idea what awaits them at the end of the journey.
The movie was directed by an art collective from Belfast called Factotum and was their first venture into film making. Wasnt a high budget affair but still it is an noble first attempt and one Northern ireland 's independant cinema would be proud of.

Space Cadet time for ZONAD

Greeting Earthlings I am Zonad and here is my trailer. Zonad is a comedy from Ireland from John Carney who also co wrote it with his Brother Keiran. The movie follows a "alien" from a planet far far away in a glaxay far far away who visits a small Irish community of Ballymoran. His visit coincides with a recent  sighting of a rare comet which makes the localfolks very gulliable to think he really is a alien rather than Liam a recent rehab escapee.
This does look funny but some Irish people maybe a little offended as it does tend to make the Irish look stupid. It is lighthearted and it has been created by an Irishman so no blame can go on non-irish people, though I can understand been scottish we can be prone to the odd pisstake from non-scottish people. They just like to "sterotype" and think all people from certain countries all talk, look the same, after a while you just have to take it on the chin!
Zonad will be out in Irish cinemas from March.
