We like our comedy dark around these parts and few do that better than the British. Case in point being director Kris McManus’s monochrome, gore laden wonder of an indie flick Dead in France, that’s due to hit U.S DVD next month. Theres few comedy trails that have us roaring out loud laughing, but one small (hilariously sick) scene in particular, in the promo had us doing just that. See if you can guess which. Dead in France goes on sale March 26. Synopsis: Socially-challenged hitman Charles lives in Cannes and wants to retire with a yacht and a woman in tow. He has no experience with either until he lets his cleaning lady (delectable Essex-girl Lisa) into his life, but he doesn't bank on her vile boyfriend Denny or con-artists Simon and Ray stealing a two million quid nest egg from the boot of his car. Charles...

The Green Hornet (12A)
(Michel Gondry, 2011, Us) Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz, Tom Wilkinson. 119 mins
It's not going to give the Dark Knight a run for his money, but this unfancied vigilante movie is at least unpretentious, fun and well-lit – more like the light knight. Rogen's questionable charm and uneven writing skills just about power the shambolic "spoilt slacker turns crusader for justice" yarn (Waltz is another show-stealing baddie); Gondry provides some great action scenes (relying on Jay Chou's Kato rather than Rogen), a few of his trademark flourishes, and a very nice car …
Blue Valentine (15)
(Derek Cianfrance, 2010, Us) Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Mike Vogel. 112 mins
After so many gimmicky romcoms over the years, it's refreshing to see a straightforward look at relationships. It switches between the happy beginnings and miserable ending of a damaged, hard-up couple, and leaves us to work out what went wrong in between.

Travellers go head to head with City boys in this cruddy British thriller, which might shift units on DVD, says Peter Bradshaw
A potentially interesting idea for a lo-fi British Deliverance-style thriller is badly let down by very slack acting and dialogue, topped off with humourless sentimentalism. A bunch of arrogant city boys are zooming around the countryside on their motorbikes and (improbably) decide to camp in a field, in which they find a caravan belonging to Irish travellers. One scrawls bigoted graffiti all over it, and then they find themselves in a terrifying confrontation with its owners. Basically, writer-director Kris McManus is hamstrung by his evident need to make the Travellers the scary bad guys but then make them the sympathetic good guys; and there is a bit of dodgy Guy Ritchie-style hero-worship of their skills at bareknuckle boxing. There may well be more than enough fans of...

Pretty sure it was Guy Ritchie who alerted the world to what exactly a "Pikey" was when he hired Brad Pitt to play one in Snatch. Essentially I think they are like hillbillies here in the States. Just simple country folk... who'll slit your throat at a sideways glance.
On the surface, Travellers appears to be your typical city-folk-in-peril thrillers, but after watching the trailer and reading an early review over at one of my new favourite sites, ionlywatch18s, I think it could be a well shot British shocker.
Synopsis:
Four friends set out on a motorcycle adventure weekend, clocking up miles in an attempt to outrun their age and urban lifestyles. After bartering with a local land owner for a place to set up camp, they spend the night reminiscing over their wasted youth. The following morning they spot an ominous looking caravan, and decide to investigate. Within minutes,...
