Not To Be Confused With... #5

If you're looking for a way to get sued by a major motion picture studio as quickly as possible, why not try a bit of intellectual property theft? In an utterly shameless move that will actually probably work at gaining an audience to see the film, the makers of A Good Old Fashioned Orgy have created this impressively plagiaristic poster that looks more than a little bit familiar.


Same big glowy font? Check. Chubby guy with a beard and sunglasses? Check. Middle guy wearing a brown polo shirt? Check. As far as I can tell, the biggest change they've made is switching out the baby for an inflatable pink flamingo which, let's be honest, probably isn't going to have much of an impact on the film's storyline. I suppose you can't blame them, this isn't the first time The Hangover's been plagarised with negative consequences. I mean, did you see The Hangover Part 2? Badum Tish.


If A Good Old Fashioned Orgy seems like your kind of film, it'll be arriving straight to DVD sometime later this year, thankfully with a less lawsuit-y cover.

The New Trailer For Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace 3D Tries To Subtly Lower 8 Year Old Children's Expectations By Being Terrible

As one last marketing push for the re-release of a thirteen year old movie, George Lucas' minions have decided to target the crucial kid demographic by talking to them in a way they understand, i.e. talking to them like they're retarded surfers.

"Woah dude! This movie's still totally going to suck, but this time in 3D!"

I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D is re-released in cinemas on February 10th. Or you could just trick your kids by staying at home, putting 3D glasses on them and watching the film on those videos, DVDs and Blu-rays you own.

MS ONE: MAXIMUM SECURITY trailer

You have to admire the sheer filmmaking prowess of French director/producer supremo Luc Besson. A lot of the films he produces tend to not be the most original in terms of story, but they've always got that extra bit of oomph that pushes the films dangerously close to ridiculousness. Not sure what I mean? Well, it's quite obvious that this film is just Escape From New York but set in space, even down to the saving of the President's daughter as Guy Pearce's all important reason for being there. He's Snake Plissken without the eye-patch.

Written by Luc Besson along with co-directors James Mather and Stephen St Ledger, kudos to whichever one of them came up with the line, "there's only one man who can get her out. He's the best there is but he's a loose cannon". That's pure action movie brilliance. Despite its clear 'borrowing' from other films, there's one aspect of this film that will guarantee me watching it; the casting of Misfits' Joe Gilgun as the villain. Looking like an outer space crack addict, he's sure to be great value, whatever the quality of the finished product. With his Scottish accent and rough demeanour he looks as menacing as Robert Carlyle in Trainspotting. Space Begbie, you might call him.

There's still some confusion as to what the film's actually called as although the trailer says Lockout, IMDb and other sites are going with the slightly harder to say but more memorable MS One: Maximum Security. If they're still undecided I'm going to put my suggestion forward...
