Oh hey look, I made a Spotify playlist for The Rules Of Attraction!

What a coincidence! A playlist of songs from The Rules Of Attraction, a film which I happen to be screening in May at The Prince Charles Cinema! Will there be a link to buy tickets after the jump? Find out, after the jump!

TheShiznit.co.uk presents: The Rules Of Attraction

Naughty teens are in your area! That is, if you happen to be nearby The Prince Charles Cinema on Thursday 15th May, when we'll be screening the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' hard-edged tale of youthful excess, The Rules Of Attraction. See Dawson go dark.

Just in case you were undecided on seeing The Raid this weekend

An exclusive clip from The Raid might convince you. Full review.

Review: The Raid

The Raid is a martial arts movie of such ferocious pace, you'll swear you're watching it on the wrong speed. A shaken-up energy drink of a movie, once unleashed it fizzes out of the can, leaving you adrenalized – and sticky. It's the kind of unapologetic action movie – shorn neatly of any unnecessarily frills – that knows its strengths, has a clear goal and homes in on it with laser precision. Entertainment, truly thy name is an Indonesian guy killing a bunch of criminals with a fridge.

Review: Safe

An entire week passed between me watching Jason Statham's newest addition to his one-man sub-genre and writing up this review. No matter though, because Safe fits nicely into The Stath's typical movie mould. It has guns, punching, car chases, a suit and another odd Cockney/American hybrid accent. Hell, I could've copied and pasted my Transporter 3 review, changed around a few words and no one would've been any the wiser.

Review: Surrogates

Movies based on computer games are usually complete balls - it's a well known cinematic fact. But it seems that finally, some powerful people have realised this. The solution: Films inspired by the gaming world but not based upon anything in particular.

The 10 greatest post-kill puns

The post-kill pun is the ultimate kiss-off in any cheesy action flick. It defined the entire career of a certain Governator of California and became a cliché so quickly that it has now long been seen as a source of ridicule and parody.

This is probably best demonstrated by Arnie himself in Last Action Hero when, after an ice cream truck explodes causing a cornetto to shoot out and stab a guy in the back of the head, his character Jack Slater says: "I iced that guy... to cone a phrase."

Review: G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra

So here we have the next in line for the Hasbro toy-to-movie treatment, following on from the Transformers films and then probably exhausting all other brands until we get a live-action trilogy of My Little Pony Vs Hungry Hungry Hippos. Like the Transformers movies, G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is pitched as a fun, action-packed,...

Review: Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

It doesn't take a genius to figure out why, out of all the big ass summer blockbusters this year, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen was the one I was least worried about performing. Camp-as-Christmas Hugh Jackman trying and failing to unleash his inner animal? Cringe. Christian Bale's CHAN CANNAR trying to avoid termination at...

Review: 12 Rounds

The WWE has produced many icons over the years, from Hulk Hogan to The Rock, and in a roundabout way, Randy 'The Ram' Robinson. Few of them, however, have managed to translate success in the ring to the big screen. Just look at the Hulkster - a pants-wearing legend in the ring, reduced to Mr. Nanny, Suburban Commando and *shudde...
