’ve been telling everyone I can that key scenes in World War Z were filmed in my home city of Glasgow and that one of the buildings that features prominently (Glasgow City Chambers) is my dad’s office. I even shared some photos from the set. I had taken World War Z on as my own personal film…

19 April 2013 by 4 Comments
2013 is looking like a decent year for cinema. The beginning of the year saw some great films released – Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln are among my favourites and the summer blockbuster season has already had a decent start…

After a brief period of unpopularity zombies are back to being the supernatural bad guys of the moment. Vampires are on their way out and I blame (or depending on your point of view, thank) The Walking Dead for the resurgence of the zombie.

I’m not a big fan of horror films. I’m not averse to them, they just don’t scare me that much and I tend to get frustrated by the idiocy of the characters. That may be one of the reasons I enjoyed Scream so much – it had decent scares and knew that the victims were morons…

In just under a week’s time London’s Raindance Film Festival will begin. This is the first film festival that I’ll be attending since launching LouiseReviews and I have to admit I’m pretty excited about the festival, seeing so many new films, meeting film-makers…
