Creators Notes:

This is the first issue of an experimenal, online film guide. As students at University College Falmouth, we are looking to experiment with our journalistic and design skills, so have created this publication as a means of doing so. As the first issue, we didn’t have the whole month to get this completed so it is a little on the thin side and is still an idea that we are playing with.

So hang around and keep reading our publication, maybe even subscribe, to see how our ideas develop, as they most cerainly will.

Captain America: The First Avenger

4

Directed by Joe Johnston, Captain America: The First Avenger is the fifth installment to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (after Iron Man, The Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Thor) which was established by crossing over shared plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. Although he is the last of the super heroes we are introduced to in preparation for 2012’s The Avengers, Captain America is ‘The First Avenger’ and the film focuses on the earliest days of the

Marvel Universe.Set in 1942 when America

has just entered World War

II, a scrawny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) attempts to sign

up to the US military service but, although he shows extreme determination, he is deemed unfit and is refused entry. When he is offered an alternative way in by Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), he is quick to accept the opportunity and is soon under the training of Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) and Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones). Rogers is then chosen to undergo a series of tests for a top-secret research project and, after injecting him with a special

that you’d hope to get from an action-filled

super hero film.”

serum, emerges from testing a few inches taller with a lot more muscles, thus beginning his transformation into the ‘super soldier’ Captain America.

In between clips of Rogers’ background story, we are also introduced the evil Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) who has just invaded Norway to steal a mysterious blue liquid which possesses a secret power. Erskine reveals that Schmidt underwent an imperfect version of the treatment that Rogers has just been injected with, but that he suffered side-effects (later revealing himself as Red Skull by pulling off the skin on his face). As Rogers comes to terms with his own new appearance, one of the attendees in the testing facility reveals himself as Schmidt’s assassin, killing Erskine and subsequently losing the super-soldier serum.

Now with his new-found super strength, Rogers is made to tour the nation in his new Captain America costume to promote war bonds, rather than filling his super hero role. Whilst in Italy, Rogers mounts a solo rescue mission to save one of his friends from an army against Schmidt and, after infiltrating Schmidt’s HYDRA organization, comes face to face (or face to skull?) with the villain himself.

Lacking in surprise and suspense and… well, anything

that you’d hope to get from an action-filled super hero film, Captain America doesn’t live up to its Marvel companions.

As if made just so that The Avengers could go into production, The First Avenger is dull and disappointing. Why say more than that?

Whilst Evans doesn’t give anything special to the role

of Captain America (He plays Flame in Fantastic Four, why try to play him up to a far more respected hero?), the special effects used to shrink and weaken his appearance before his transformation is amazing. However, the same can’t be said for Schmidt. Whilst his army looks terrifyingly good, Red Skull looks cheap and plastic and it’s his German accent that is his scariest characteristic.

To tie in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man’s father Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) often appears throughout the film as well which also helps to place Captain America in context and in a time frame of the other films. It’s Stark and flirty Carter that offer something more to the film, receiving the odd laugh by having personalities that you would cheer for. It’s a shame their roles are small in comparison to Evans’, maybe he should have kept them tagging along more often.

Super 8

6

From the incredible combination that is director and writer J. J. Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg, Super 8 is a sci-fi adventure about a young group of friends who witness a mysterious train crash. Resulting in a number of strange happenings around town, the group take it upon themselves to investigate into the creepy phenomenon. Here, their friendships are put to the test as bonds are developed and a romance blossoms. Whilst you may expect a scary creature-feature, Super 8 is all PG and it’s these relationships that are the focus of the story.

Set in the summer of 1979 in a small Ohio town, Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney) is mourning the loss of his mother. His father, Jackson (Kyle Chandler), is the town’s deputy and isn’t around to comfort him, opening the film with this obvious disconnection. Whilst Joe clutches onto his mother’s locket and watches home-movies in bed, he displaces his grief by sneaking out and helping his best friend Charles (Riley Griffiths) make an amateur zombie film with his super 8 camera, which

he hopes to submit to a local film festival. Whilst out filming one night with the rest of the group – pyro Cary (Ryan Lee), worrier Martin (Gabriel Basso) and goody-two-shoes Preston (Zach Mills) – the boys are joined by a girl, Alice (Elle Fanning), the town drunk’s daughter who sparks a love interest in the group.

During filming, the group witness a pickup truck drive onto the railway track, derailing an oncoming US air force train and causing a destructive aftermath spilling

the contents of thousands of small white cubes. The group is quick to learn that this was no accident as a half-alive man from the truck that caused the incident drops a map of the trains route exclaiming, “They will kill you. Do not speak of this or else you and your parents will die.”

When the US air force take over the investigation and start to clean-up the mysterious items that their train was transporting, unfamiliar things start happening around town.

meet that lets us down, appearing and sounding like a Transformer and having the apparently lovable personality of ET. Abrams has made a name for himself through these mysterious

monster films, as with Clover Field and his series of Lost. Fans of his don’t expect to see he monster fully; we don’t want to ruin the suspense with the full visual of this monster

as we occasionally see its reflection or it moving in the background. Unfortunately this isn’t long-lived in Super 8, and the monster fails to live up to the hype that the trailers built it up to be.

I guess it would only be wrong to expect another Clover Field from Abrams, both with the monster’s appearance and the darker story-line. But anything would have been better than how Super 8 ended. The PG twist had Spielberg written all over it. Not only was it disappointing, but it also brought a sudden end to the film, leaving us to question, “Is that it?” If you expected a kids film beforehand then you won’t find anything

“It’s the monster that we are so eager to meet

that lets us down, appearing and sounding like a Transformer and having the

apparently lovable personality of ET.”

Dogs start running away to the outskirts of town, engines become missing from cars and the electricity wires around town disappear. The whole town looses its power and all technical appliances start playing up and going missing, creating suspicions for all. That is, at least, until the monster that is the star of the film starts making its appearance as it starts dragging people underground to feed on later.

Armed with sparklers for a light source and fire crackers for a distraction, the group take us on a brilliantly nostalgic Goonies-style adventure. There’s no doubting the talent of these young actors. Cary brings in a lot of the laughs with his love of explosives and Martin brings the cringe when reacting to every incident by being sick while Preston is too scared to break the rules resulting in us not seeing a lot of him. It’s likely that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Joel Courtney in future films too as he and Elle Fanning take the spotlight throughout.

However, it’s the monster that we are so eager to

to complain about, mainly because there’s nothing to fault until the final ten minutes. Sadly the films trailers gave it slightly the wrong angle which only left me expecting something more.

The Telegraph described Super 8 as “the sweetest film of 2011.” Is that really what Abrams was aiming for? I think it’s safe to say that Super 8 is Clover Field’s younger brother, the one that has to be in bed before 9pm.

Final DestinationFinal Destination 5, directed

by Steven Quale, sets itself up to be the final in the Final Destination franchise, but the film also reveals that it is not last in the series’ chronological order. Although the Final Destination series as a whole is very predictable, this latest instalment brings something new to its supposed end with the addition of a couple of twists to make it that little bit more interesting. With the new rule of ‘kill or be killed’, can the group find a way of defeating death without turning against each other?

Beginning in the same way as the others, Sam Lawton (Nicholas D’Agosto) has a premonition of how he and his friends are going to die. This time around, Sam is sitting on a bus filled with his colleagues when he sees the bridge on which his bus is driving across collapse and all of his friends die in a variety of brutal and gore-filled ways. When awakening

from his premonition, Sam tries to persuade everybody to get off the bus before the collapse of the bridge and subsequently everybody’s death replays in reality.

The survivors of the accident are named “The Lucky 8”. Sam and the other seven – his girlfriend Molly Harper (Emma Bell), his best friend Peter Friedkin (Miles Fisher), his boss Dennis (David Koechner), and his colleagues Candice Hooper (Ellen Wroe), Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Isaac (P.J. Byrne) and Nathan (Arlen Escarpeta) – must now try to avoid death as it follows them around to correct the fate that Sam has changed. Death doesn’t like to be cheated, and one by one it begins to kill the eight survivors of the accident who are now living on death’s borrowed time.

The best part about this fifth Final Destination is the suspense in the killings of these survivors. As with the other films, there are various clues given to how somebody might die – the shadow of a clawed man, the flash of a bus in the reflection of a window, the focus of a faulty fan – but this film works at its best. Whilst you can sit

guessing how they are going to die for ten minutes beforehand

from this mass amount of clues (e.g. the constant collection of candles lit

around the death scenes; you have thought they’d of learnt!), these focuses are only going to harm the victims or be the cause of their death. It’s the final blow to the body that the film gave us no clues to that shocks and surprises us; the film may have a predictable story line, and we know that they will inevitably all die, but it’s this suspense and bloody horror that makes the film work.

As always, the cast is mainly a set of new faces and talent, apart from David Koechner who is mainly known for his role in Anchorman. Whilst he’s not a bad actor, it’s strange to see

him in a serious film and you find yourself constantly half-expecting him to shout “WHAMMY!” at any

second. As for the other actors, this is probably

the highlight of their careers; it’s not often that

the cast of Final destination are seen in anything bigger

after their fairly mediocre and clichéd portrayals of young Americans. But then it’s only for the gore that this film is successful for. Whilst their characters are believable as they lay dead in a pile of blood, it’s only Quale and writers Eric Heisserer and Jeffrey Reddick that need an applause.

Promoting itself as “The Best Final Destination Yet”, it wasn’t far off. Unfortunately that’s not enough to persuade people to go and see it in the cinema. As with the Saw franchise, we know the story line off by heart and it’s by the fourth/fifth film that we stop caring, with only a small minority of people still going to see the film out of pure curiosity for it’s truly disturbing death scenes. However, this fifth addition is a must-see for fans of its predecessors, both to put an end to the franchise itself and to tie up some loose ends.

Final Destination 5 is also one of few films that is worth going to see in 3D. Unlike many others that promote themselves in 3D just to jump on the bandwagon, Final Destination 5 was written to be in 3D, and it definitely takes full advantage of this.

This Final Destination sets itself up to be the final in the series by creating a loop to link all of the films together and ending with a montage of them all, but this is a franchise that could never end, so maybe it won’t.

Directed by Rupert Wyatt, The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is the prequel to The Planet Of The Apes phenomenon that was first published as a novel in 1963 by Pierre Boulle. ‘La Planète des Singes‘ was first translated as Monkey Planet, but was later re-issued to tie in to the film franchise that the novel inspired. The first film adaptation was released in 1968 and starred Charlton Heston, which was then remade in 2001 starring Mark Wahlberg. This latest instalment explains the uprising of the apes, telling the story of how they escaped captivity and gained their intelligence, and how they managed to take over humanity when their only purpose was as test subjects to help save it.

The film begins by introducing us to the protagonist of the film, Will Rodman (James Franco), a scientist who has been experimenting on chimpanzees for five years to help develop a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. The virus mutates the chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence. After thinking they have found the cure, the chimpanzee that was being tested on is shot dead after supposed side-effects of rage, but it is later realised that this chimpanzee was only being protective towards her baby who she had secretly given birth to. Will’s boss Steven (David Oyelowo) orders subordinate Robert (Tyler Labine) to put all the test chimpanzees down. When he cannot kill the new-born

chimp, he asks Rodman to take him home. Rodman names the chimp Caesar (who behind all that CG is Andy Serkis) and soon recognises that it has inherited his mother’s high intelligence, and therefore that his cure works.

Three years later, after seeing Caeser grow healthily and educating him with sign language, Rodman decides to use the cure on his father

Charles (John Lithgow) who is suffering from Alzheimer’s himself. At first the cure works, but another five years later Charles’ dementia returns. Forgetting where he is, Charles gets in trouble with a neighbour and an onlooking Caeser attacks him. Caeser is then sent to a primate facility run by John Landon (Brian Cox) where he begins to use his greater intelligence to begin gaining dominance over the apes and, after releasing the virus into their cages, starts to plan their escape. Meanwhile,

Will creates a more powerful form of the virus and new tests on chimps begin. This virus strengthens the intelligence of the apes, but unbeknownst to the scientists it is fatal to humans. Franklin is exposed to the new virus and accidentally begins to spread it to other humans, but before he is able to warn anyone of its effect he is found dead in his apartment.

It’s this back story that the film focuses on. Whilst it is a lot to take in, the rest is left up to our own minds and own perceptive to pick up on. The link to Planet Of The Apes is subtly used throughout by mentioning a man going to space in the newspaper and on the news in the background, avoiding any condescension by not pushing this explanation in your face (Although if you hadn’t seen the sequel then you wouldn’t have caught on to these hints). Then, just when you think the film has left you to presume how the apes ultimately take over, we are shown one more scene of the virus spreading through humans. Whether you’re interested in the Planet Of The Apes phenomenon or not, you have to admit that this is a really well put together film.

three series of the TV show, The Inbetweeners Movie only had two ways to go. Either it would bore us from being too repetitive of the series as the third series was heading, or it would be one of the funniest films of the year and the quartet would entertain us with a number of new ways of how to show themselves up in a crowd. Fortunately, it was the latter, and the film has you laughing constantly, even in their attempts of being serious.

The film begins with the end of sixth form. The group need to try to help Simon get over his newly ex girlfriend Carli (Emily Head) after being madly – or to word it better, insanely – in love with her since the start of the series. After a not-so-heart-warming speech from their head of sixth form, Mr Gilbert (Greg Davies), they plan to go on a ‘lads on tour’ holiday to Crete (even though it’s actually filmed in Magaluf).

On their first night, the boys meet a group of four girls who are almost too-perfectly matched up with them. From the beginning we know that Will will eventually get with

the hottest of the group, Alison (Laura Haddock), Simon will somehow mess it up with Lucy (Tamla Kari) after becoming so close to

being ‘the cool one’, Jay will find himself attracted to the ‘fatty’ of the group Jane (Lydia Rose Bewley) as his father only too often joked about, and Neil would get his hands sticky with Lisa (Jessica

Knappet) after forgetting about his latest bit of squeeze back home.

Although it’s easy to presume this from the series, it was still highly enjoyable and completely hilarious to see how the boys got there after avoiding its predicament of being too samey. Only being 97 minutes long the film also

held the threat of showing its funniest scenes in the trailer. When Neil’s dancing scene came onto the big screen it was almost unlaughable from the amount

it was publicised on the TV. Amazingly, it managed to be even funnier in its full context; as the rest of the group joined in

with their own bad dance trailing behind him, my eyes streamed with tears from laughter.

Is this the end of The Inbetweeners? I think sadly it is. But at least they’ve ended on a high. Well done Palmer and Young, you couldn’t have done it better.

Cowboys

Aliens

Release Date:17th August 2011

Director:Jon Favreau

Famous Faces:Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford

and Olivia Wilde

Based on the graphic novel of the same name created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg in 2006, Cowboys & Aliens is a Western sci-fi directed by Jon Favreau.

Set in Arizona in 1873, Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) wakes up in the middle of a desert with no recollection of who he is or what has happened to him. With a cut in his chest and a mysterious metallic object attached around his wrist, Jake stumbles into the town of Absolution where he is recognised as a wanted outlaw. When trying to escape, Ella Swenson (Olivia Wilde) knocks him out. Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), a rich and influential cattleman, asks for Jake as he has supposedly stolen some of his gold.

Just when the Western

music is about to play as the two give each other a twitchy stare, gripping for their guns, across the way from each other, alien spaceships begin attacking the town, abducting a number of townsfolk. Jake’s mysterious shackle shoots down one of the ships, so the cowboys of Absolution and Ella, whom we know to be an outsider, form a ‘posse’ to investigate the fallen ship in their first attempt of defeating the aliens that are threatening their town.

In between this story line of the present, we also see a series of flashbacks about Jake’s past, revealing more about him, as we, and he, still know nothing but his name. We are then introduced to a woman who we presume to be Jake’s wife, who we are yet to meet, but then we see that the two were

abducted, revealing more about the beginnings of the aliens’ attacks as well. Whilst we switch through these two different time frames, the film doesn’t become confusing. Too many films that I have watched this month have lost my interest from too much story with little explanation, but Cowboys & Aliens uses

&

these flashbacks successfully, filling in any details we may have missed and not leaving us to ask what’s going on.

In addition, Ella’s character is used effectively throughout the film, giving more explanation through more interesting means. Whilst an alien invasion in the Wild West isn’t the most naturally scenario, everything is smoothly linked together to avoid the film becoming unbelievable.

Admittedly, the film is more Western than alien invasion. Some parts can seem quite cliché and the Cowboy vs. Cowboy vs. Indians that lies in the back story can sometimes get a little tiresome, but when everyone unites and it’s time to destroy the aliens, these Cowboys and Indians give some decent action (not at all like the game we played as youngsters). The aliens, as well, are very creepy, which is a relief after seeing Super 8 earlier this month. This is what you expect from an alien film; slimey insides and laser guns, not a bigger version of ET. Whilst there were many speculations before watching this film, with the combination of Cowboys, aliens, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford screaming ‘Boys Only!’, it is pleasantly surprising. Oliver Wilde adds some, almost, glamour to the film. And to be honest, her eyes could seduce anyone.

Soundtrack:So and so by Someone Cool

Directed by Marcus Nispel, Conan The Barbarian is based on the character

of the same name which was created by Robert E.

Howard. However, it is a new interpretation of the Conan

mythology and is not related to the films featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger which were

released in 1982.Conan (Jason Momoa) is

a skilled but violent warrior. When his village is attacked

as a young boy and he is left as the only survivor, he

swears revenge on Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang), the

warlord who was in charge of the attack. 20 years later, Conan meets Ela-Shan (Saïd

Taghmaoui), a thief being chased by a man who Conan

recognises as one of Zym’s soldiers, Lucius (Steven

O’Donnell). Conan allows himself to be captured and

later confronts Lucius. Lucius reveals that Zym is planning

to sacrifice the pure blood descendant of the sorcerers of

Acheron in order to unleash the Mask of Acheron’s power,

a weapon he wishes to use to revive his dead wife and

conquer Hyborea.Zym and his daughter, the sorceress Marique

(Rose McGowan), attack a monastery in order to find the pure blood, tasting the

blood of women as they go.

At this point we don’t know why they are looking for a pure blood. We don’t even know what a pure blood is until a little later on, and by then we have already come up with a Harry Potter reference of our own. The pure blood that was in the monastery, Tamara (Rachel Nichols), has already been warned of the attack and has run away, finding herself in the ‘safe’ arms of Conan.

The film follows with many more seemingly unnecessary fight scenes; as a whole it is very hard to follow. A lot happens with scenes changing frequently and quickly, often leaving you to guess who’s the bad guy and who’s the good guy, why they are doing what they are doing, and, wait, who even are they?

The story line itself is quite well thought out. The characters look good, the acting throughout the film is good. Unfortunately, the cloud of confusion engulfing all of this blurs out any potential that the film may have had, leading you to lose interest quite early on.

Whilst some films that are fight scene after fight scene can be successful, with the mass amount of gore being one of the best parts, like with 300, Conan isn’t one of them.
