Win Attack The Block on Blu-ray/DVD

I was going to do an intro in comedy 'street' patois but I realised I didn't know how and I couldn't be bothered. Let's just say I did and get on with the business of giving away five copies of Attack The Block on double-play Blu-ray/DVD. Do kids still call each other blud? Never mind.

Cut-out-and-keep Attack The Block slang reference cards

With Attack The Block currently attacking the box office here in the UK, and director Joe Cornish rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty, it seems a US release of our new favourite sci-fi-horror-com is inevitable. So in order to prepare our overseas chums for the onslaught of yoot speak soon to be assaulting their ears, we've prepared this handy set of cut-out-and-keep slang reference cards.

Review: Attack the Block

Let’s consider what could be the making of a cult film, shall we? High concept? Check. Low-budget? Almost always. A hyper-stylised language? Most definitely. Written and directed by one half of a cult comedy duo? Erm...sure. Aliens? Hell yes. And yet, while all signs point to ‘culty’ for this film, it actually has all the mainstream appeal of a brilliant comedy and a terrifying supernatural horror. And being both at once is just sheer bloody genius.

Another look at the movie that's doing everything right. Please movie gods, don't let Attack The Block suck.

It's like Battle: Los Angeles, but in South London.
