In Fear Film Review

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Daniel McCarthy

The backroads and woods of rural Ireland open up to steady and relentless menace in this

psychological horror thriller, the debut feature of writer and director Jeremy Lovering. The basic

setup is familiar and uncomplicated; Lucy and Tom (Alice Englert and Iain De Caestecker), a

young couple in the first weeks of a burgeoning relationship, are travelling to a secluded hotel

for the evening on their way to a music festival. However as night descends and their directions

start to lead them in circles, the two of them become hopelessly lost before realizing that they

may not be alone…

Eschewing a standard format for what seems like very familiar material in the horror genre,

Lovering has taken the bold move of denying his two leads a set script. The actors were provided

with a brief outline of what direction individual scenes would take but were left unaware

of what exactly would occur. Improvisation and surprise are the driving forces here. It’s a

directorial stroke that provides the film with a fresh feel despite the well worn setting. It shows

particularly in the performances of the two leads whose increasing paranoia and discomfort is

entirely convincing. Even before the scares start their portrayal of a burgeoning relationship, all

uncertainty and stubbornness, gives their predicament an incredibly believable air. This is helped

by the increasingly claustrophobic direction as open roads give way to the sweaty, grimy interior

of the couples car. This culminates in one tremendously unsettling scene, which Lovering takes

his time letting the penny drop for the characters to realize just how dire their situation is. It’s the

directorial equivalent of twisting the knife.

The novel approach that Lovering and his collaborators take is welcome to a narrative that does

at times stray towards the predictable. An early confrontation with hostile locals is a nice nod

towards Straw Dogs, but as we go from winding roads to useless maps, low petrol and rising

tempers there is the nagging feeling that we’re going through a checklist of horror tropes. Some

hardcore genre fans may perhaps even find themselves moaning as characters make decisions

and take actions that only characters in horror films would make. Some may also find the final

act somewhat anticlimactic, though the final shot really encapsulates the idea of a never ending

pursuit and terror. Whatever flaws In Fear may have, its expert direction and performances give

it the edge that it needs to stand out in clogged up market of British horror cinema. On the basis

of this, Lovering may prove to be a director to watch.

Angelina Jolie Receives The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award | Video

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Catherine Balavage

We love this gif from http://ladyrebell.tumblr.com/

Frost favourite Angelina Jolie became the youngest ever winner of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in an emotional night on Saturday. She flew in from Australia, where she is directing Unbroken, to receive the award.

She took along fiancee Brad Pitt and her, now scarily grown up, son Maddox. I remember him when he was just a toddler. Yikes!

She made an emotional tribute to her family, saying: “My love. Your support and your guidance make everything I do possible.”

“I’m not going to cry, I promise,” Jolie said to Maddox from the stage. “I’m not going to embarrass you. You and your brothers and sisters are my happiness and there is no greater honor in this world than being your mom.”

“I will do as my mother asked and I will do the best I can with this life to be of use, and to stand here today means I did as she asked and if she were alive she’d be very proud, so thank you.”

Do you find Angelina Jolie inspirational?

Lily Allen Makes A Comeback And We Love It

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Catherine Balavage

While Lily Allen’s new music video Hard Out Here has drawn some criticism I love it. It is cheeky and it has drawn debate. It starts of with Lily having liposuction while her manager and the surgeons wonder how ‘anyone can let themselves get like these’. ‘I’ve had two babies’, she responds.

Lily had to deny claims the video was racist and said she just hired the best dancers.

She said the video, “has nothing to do with race, at all, is meant to be a lighthearted satirical video that deals with objectification of women within modern pop culture … The message is clear.”

She also said said she didn’t request “specific ethnicities” for her dancers; simply hiring the “the best dancers” from the auditions. “I would not only be surprised but deeply saddened if I thought anyone came away from that video feeling taken advantage of, or compromised in any way,” Allen’s “insecurities” stopped her twerking alongside them in her underwear “I actually rehearsed for two weeks trying to perfect my twerk, but failed miserably,” she said. “if I was a little braver, I would have been wearing a bikini too, but I do not and I have chronic cellulite, which nobody wants to see.”

All of Allen’s dancers – Seliza Sebastian, Melissa Freire, Shala EuroAsia, Monique Lawrence, and Temple – stood by Lily and the video, posting links to it and retweeting Allen’s remarks. “Critics will be critics,” Men have been exploiting women in the stereotype Lily sends up in her video for decades. Is she not aloud to point it out because she is of another race?

She also send up Robin Thicke and his rapey ‘Blurred Lines’ video by replacing the ‘Robin Thicke has a big d**k” (more like is) scene with “Lily Allen Has a Baggy Pussy”. It’s rude but amusing.

Lily Allen has gotten a lot of stick, and numerous people are pointing out that her comeback after four years away from music coincides with her vintage store she had with her sister, Lucy in Disguise, going broke, but we need more Lily Allen’s. Not because she is perfect- she sings about women being objectified but has posed topless for GQ– but because she has an opinion, isn’t afraid to share it and proudly calls herself a feminist- something that not all celebrities are brave enough to do. She may not be everyone’s idea of a role model but it is sexist that every women in the public eye has her every move questioned, and is always supposed to be a role model. Men are never held up to the same lofty heights. We need more of her because Lily Allen is a happily married mother-of-two. She works hard and goes for what she wants. Some people call her mouthy but that is only because she is a women, if she was a man she would just have an opinion. Go Lily, we love you.

Bill Takes The Just For Men 10 Minute Challenge

Posted on November 19, 2013 by Frostie

We got our writer Bill to take the Just For Men AutoStop challenge. Could he get a new look in the 10 Minute Challenge?

Bill took an allergy test before he tried the product, as should you. All was well and Bill then used the hair colour which calls itself ‘revolutionary and fool proof’. Which turned out to be true. The hair colour is fool proof and gives natural results. It uses advanced Oxygen Activated technology, making it the first hair colour product WITHOUT ammonia or peroxide and is activated by oxygen.

What really makes it fool proof is the self-timing formula which shuts off when it reaches the target colour AND it only targets grey hair. It only takes 10 minutes after application and the colour won’t get any darker than the target colour. It also has a great comb-in applicator. What did Bill think? Easy to use and with great, natural results. He’s converted.

You can compare the before (above) photos with the after ones (below).

Available in four shades: Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown and Real Black, Just for Men Autostop (35g) is priced at £8.69 (RRP) and available from Boots, Superdrug, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda & Waitrose
