Zombies don’t run! …or something like that right? I never actually stick to that; I’m not one of the people who think that Romero wrote the rules about zombies. Nightmare City, which is being released by Arrow Video, is a batshit crazy zombie movie which may be the first instance of running zombies, all the way back in 1980, though I’m probably wrong about that…
When an airplane arrives at an airport full of bloodsucking zombies, the unstoppable force soon starts to invade the city. Dean (Hugo Stiglitz), a reporter who witnesses the original attack fights to find his wife Anna (Laura Trotter) at the hospital before the horde completely take over the city.

This biopic tribute to Lech Wałęsa, the Nobel peace prize-winning politician and human rights activist, is an enjoyable look at an unconventional hero

At the age of 87, that very remarkable Polish film-maker Andrzej Wajda has directed a movie with terrific force and irresistible storytelling gusto – and a first-rate lead performance by Robert Wieckiewicz. It's a full tilt biopic that pays tribute to the trade union leader Lech Wałęsa, founder of the Solidarity movement, a bullish, courageous man, stubborn and cantankerous, with an exasperating charm and the precious gift of the gab. Wałęsa's defiance of Poland's sclerotic Soviet Communist masters and their local apparatchiks removed the very first brick from the Berlin Wall. Famously, Lech Wałęsa was the one subversive trade-union leader that Margaret Thatcher felt able to love. (Arthur Scargill did not enjoy the same admiration.

Woody Allen’s next film, heretofore known as ‘Nero Fiddled’, was officially re-titled yesterday and given a new name that should see it resonate better in its international territories, and so from here on out we’ll know it as ‘To Rome With Love’.
We now have the first eleven images to share with you, some images of the film itself and others including Allen on set, as well as the full cast line-up (which is excellent) and the full soundtrack details (which are just a little bit impeccable).
The romantic-comedy is made up of four vignettes, two of which revolving around American characters and two around Italian characters, with the main cast including the likes of Allen himself, Alec Baldwin, Penélope Cruz, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis, Greta Gerwig, and Alison Pill.
The newly re-titled To Rome With Love will open in Italy on 20th April...
