The Perfect Guy UK DVD Released

dvd_box_001Looks like I’ll have to file this one under ‘Old News’…

In all the excitement I managed to miss the release of the thriller The Perfect Guy on DVD in the UK earlier this month.  The 14th of March to be more precise.

To be fair to me the Sony Pictures UK website doesn’t seem to list the film.  Even the official YouTube channel for the conglomerate’s division only added the trailer in the past few days.

There doesn’t seem to be an accompanying Blu-ray option for those that prefer to do their film watching at home in full HD.  Some of you may be able to take advantage of releases elsewhere in the world, region coding allowing.

The DVD release of The Perfect Guy is available on the UK version of the Amazon website HERE.

Ithe_perfect_guy_on_set_001n the way of a sweetener for the laxity in bringing this news to you I have added a new photo (as shown on the right) to the KM UK Gallery.  It is of Kathryn on the set of the film with the director David M Rosenthal and the child actor Duncan Joiner.  Duncan plays Zach, the son of Kathryn’s character, who appears in the opening scene and helps set the ball rolling by making Sanaa Lathan’s Leah think about having a child of her own, but her then boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) is unwilling to commit.

Not So Real Housewife Of The Jersey Shorts

hang_onto_your_shorts_film_festival_logo_640x640This is KM UK’s 100th item about Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin aka You Can’t Keep A Good Short Down.

Nearly four years on from our first post about the film (in July 2012) it is returning to the short film festival circuit for an outing in 2016.

The Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival is due to have its third running in a month’s time on Sunday the 24th of April.

Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey (south of New York and east of Philadelphia), the festival was started to bring a bit of the creative arts back to the area that was devastated by hurricane Sandy in 2011.

Running from around 10am to a little after 6pm the event is split into 4 or 5 screenings across three venues.  Each screening has multiple films in 90-120 minutes.  There is some attempt at grouping films into themes but the The Coin being in the ‘Last Set’, due to it being the final group of the day at The Showroom Cinema on Cookman Avenue, gives you some idea of the way things are.  There is no repetition of films so even if you did travel to different theatres between screenings you could not see everything.

As you should know by now Kathryn stars in the 9 minute long The Coin as a stressed mother who takes her son to a shop where he meets a kindly homeless man played by Christopher Lloyd.

The Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival website has all the details here.

Thanks to Fabien for letting us know about this one.

Hold On To Your Easter Eggs They Might Melt

poster_001Let’s face it: nobody likes melted chocolate Easter eggs.

The natural disaster Inferno is being shown again the the Horror Channel here in the UK on Wednesday (23rd of March).  The station is on channel 70 on the Freeview system and in tripple digits on the Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media platforms.  Check your EPG for details.

You can catch a broadcast at 4pm, a nice early for the students then :-) , or if you miss that there is a repeat the following morning at 10am.

The channel has existed for nearly 12 years now but has only just passed its first anniversary on Freeview.  Coincidently, or maybe not, it started on the Friday the 13th of March 2015.  Dun, dun, dun!

Inferno involves a fireball heading towards the Earth that is causing temperatures to rise and problems for its inhabitants.  Kathryn’s role will also cause temperatures to rise (I’ll leave the ‘balls’ joke to you).  James Remar (Dexter) and Stephanie Niznik (Everwood) are the leads.  Jonathan LaPaglia (ADA Bell in later episodes of Cold Case) is Kathryn’s partner in crime/grime.

As citizen reviewer Jack from Minnesota says on IMDb:

Kathryn Morris steals the show as the sleazy tow truck driver, the only likable character and the only one who rises above being a compilation of clichés. Everyone else is a cardboard cutout in comparison to her character.

What would Lilly Rush make of her?

Colonization Heads Home

colony_banner_2880x1260Many years ago the United States Of America was formed by the joining of 13 British colonies down the East coast of the country.

Now, after the series just finished airing its first season on American TV the sci-fi-ish drama Colony is said to be on the way to Britain.

The Digital Spy website has reported that the Sky 1 satellite channel will broadcast Colony to home in the UK starting in early April of this year.  This could mean repeats on the Freeview channel Pick (which was once known as Sky 3) at some point in the future.

Read the Digital Spy article here.

Last September, around the time we found out that Kathryn had joined the cast (by then they’d probably completed filming already), it was announced the streaming service Netflix had acquired the global rights to Colony.  It will become available there early next year.

As we know Colony has already been signed up for a second season due to air next year.  Kathryn’s continuation or otherwise is not known at this point.

KM UK Awards 2016

We were invited to other award shows but didn’t go this time!  They gave out stupid prizes, in lightweight categories!  We’ll hold our own event, again, and they’re not invited to it!

Let me tell you I know a thing or two about award ceremonies!  I’ve done billions of them!  They’re the best award ceremonies you’ve ever seen!  I’m not just saying that.  Everyone knows that!  Right?

And we won’t be handing out namby-pamby prizes to ‘winners’.  Oh no!

From now on the so-called ‘winners’ will have to make their own statues.  They can pull them out of the their own ears, their own… whatever.  What’s more, we’ll make them pay us to let them make them for themselves!

And if they don’t like that we’ll force them to do something worse than wakeboarding!  That’s a thing right?

We’ve got a new mascot for our event this year.  As you can see (above) ‘The RichE’ is a very attractive bear.  Yes, before you ask, all the fur is natural.  It just grows like that.

It’s time to make the KM UK Awards great again!
