The official site for Somers Town Shane Meadows' first film since This Is England, which is due for release in the UK on 22nd August, has now got its own official site at www.somers-town.com.

The official Somers Town site includes the film trailer, a synopsis of the film, news and reviews of the film, some beautiful stills from the movie and also some equally beautiful music from the forthcoming soundtrack CD by longtime Meadows contributor Gavin Clark.

It looks for all the world to be another excellent movie by Shane Meadows and certainly we can't wait for it's release on 22nd August (actually we'll have to wait until 5th September till it reaches us out in the sticks).

The trailer for Somers Town Shane Meadows' first film since This Is England, has just been made available on Shane Meadows official site. The film is due for limited release in the UK on 26th August, and has already picked up the prestigious Michael Powell award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The film stars young actor Thomas Turgoose, the brilliant young actor who made such an impact in Meadows' film This Is England. Judging by the trailer it looks like another Meadows masterpiece and we here at alt-flix can't wait to see the film, in fact it will be the highlight of our summer.

You wait all summer for a decent movie then two come along at once.

First up is the Coen brothers first movie since the success of the Oscar-laden No Country For Old Men. The new movie is called Burn After Reading, and it has been announced that the film will released in the cinemas on 12th September (in the USA) and 17th October (in the UK). The Burn After Reading trailer has been released over the net and can be seen here on the ToxicShock website.
From the trailer it looks reminiscent of the Coen brothers Fargo, which is one of our favourite Coen brothers films. All the signs are that the film will carry on the good work of No Country For Old Men, which was released after a run of three movies which seemed below the Coen's usual very high standard.

A UK cinematic release for Shane Meadows' first film since This Is England, which is called Somers Town has just been announced as the 26th August. The film has already been a hit with the critics, and only a couple of weeks ago Somers Town picked up the prestigious Michael Powell award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The film stars young actor Thomas Turgoose, the brilliant young actor who was such a revelation in Meadows' This Is England, and it looks set to further establish Meadows as one of cinemas brightest and freshest directing talents (he's already our favourite).
