Anyone wondering how 63% of white men and 53% of white women voters in the US came to vote for Donald Trump might like this trip into the 'don't own a passport, never left my red state' fantasy land of Fox news.
Gerard Butler does a passable Sean Hannity impression - I think Morgan Freeman is doing Bill O'Reilly. Those who remember the Fox News claim that the entire city of Birmingham was a police no-go area will find the depiction of London here to be eerily familiar.
Londoners might enjoy a good chuckle, though this is much less convincing than 28 Weeks Later. Some of the climactic effects are destined for 'how not to do this' CGI highlight reels of the future.
I hope everyone involved felt their time was worth it in light of later 2016 events.

I just managed to watch the end of Life on Mars before Ashes to Ashes started tonight and the 80s spin off is waaayyyy better
..acting, direction, script...
To be fair I'm such a massive fan of US HBO level TV this might yet be all relief that Ashes to Ashes isn't another cringing disappointment and it might yet descend into period cop cliché like LOM but I have to say it's great fun so far.
It's funnier, more OTT, taking itself a lot less seriously, helped by the fact that Life on Mars could only be an inferior version of The Sweeney.. and the new one is a vast improvement on Dempsey and Makepeace.
But most of all because it's completely aware of the events of Life on Mars and has an extra layer of complication, making its a lot less like saddo nostalgia TV (like a pretentious Heartbeat) and more like A Matter of Life and Death.
and it still has the northern coppers! I missed Liz White from the earlier series but Keeley Hawes (from Spooks/MI5) makes for a much more interesting central relationship with Gene Hunt. Philip Glenister looks like he's in heaven (?)

I'm a major horror film buff. I was actually at the Dead By Dawn Festival in Edinburgh this year listening to (director) Neil Marshall talk. Nice, funny guy. Loved the stories about his previous film DOG SOLDIERS, a movie destined to be THE Italian JOB of British horror movies.
But the endless re-runs of THE DESCENT trailer put me off. Its just a humourless chick flick about cavers right? It can't seriously be good yeah? Shamefully I've just caught this on DVD and I'm struggling to remember anything as efficiently scary made recently. It uses darkness like the best of BLAIR WITCH, the character dynamics of ALIENS and has the black heart of STRAW DOGS Comparing DOG SOLDIERS to DESCENT is like comparing DUEL to JAWS. (I don't say that lightly - JAWS is my favourite movie) When it gets moving THE DESCENT is less like a roller-coaster ride and more like being in a lift dropping down a mineshaft You know the acid test? When a confirmed horror film nut has to turn the lights on when he goes upstairs. When this movie crosses the Atlantic you won't know whats hit you..
