Movie review: Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg’s Burke & Hare

Thanks to Paramount Pictures we had the honour to assist in the media screening for “Burke & Hare” before it hits the cinemas.  This is our review for the film, and remember there is no absolute truth in any review, you have to go to your local cinema and watch the film, there is no better critic than yourself!

Burke & Hare is a dark comedy directed by John Landis. Landis brings an exceptional funny story in 1820′s based on William Burke (Simon Pegg) and William Hare (Andy Serkis, well-known for his role as Gollum in Lord of The rings), a couple of friends looking for a new business opportunity in 19th century Edinburgh.

The city is known for their Medicine schools, specializing in human anatomy that attracts students from all over Europe. However, after Doctor Monro (Tim Curry) gets exclusivity to obtain the cadavers for his school, there was shortage in dead bodies for other doctors to use, particularly Doctor Robert Knox (Tom Wilkinson). This problem opened an opportunity for grave robbers. Here is when Burke & Hare got the idea to start their business and they were able to obtain a total of 16 bodies in different funny situations to fill in the needs of Doctor Knox’s for cadavers. Knox need the bodies to create a map of human anatomy made by “Heliographics” (the actual x-ray images).

When Burke & Hare lifestyle begins to improve because of the business, Hare`s alcoholic wife Lucky (Jessica Hines) joins the team. Burke on the other hand, meets Ginny Hawking (Isla Fisher), an ex-prostitute and aspiring actress  looking for someone to finance her all-female version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Burke can’t avoid falling in love with her and starts to finance her play. However because of these, the two bogeymen need more money, so they extended their business to murderers in their quest for fresh bodies. This activity attracted the attention of Captain McLintoch (Ronnie Corbett) and the militia who opened a case to look for some of the missing persons.

Two of the best things of the film are the photography and the locations where the scenes took place. These give the whole movie a realistic approach especially with the touch of really old-looking grey and sepia tones. The customs, costumes and the language used were also made to look and sound like that you are really in the 19th century.

Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis are a great duo, a funny team who put together a great performance for the film. The movie dynamics is good that it avoided the usual jokes and came up with fresh ones that will surprise the public every time. Moreover, the ending of the film has unexpected twist that many of you might appreciate.

The comedy also features great cameos spotting Christopher Lee, Ray Harryhausen, Michael Winner, Paul Whitehouse, Stephen Merchant and politician Costa-Gavras, to name a few.

If you want to have a great time and you are not afraid to see some “body parts” on big screen, pass by your local cinema and enjoy this hilarious dark comedy.

If you like Dark Comedies or comedies in general and you want have a great time go and watch Burke & Hare and don’t forget to let us know what you think of the movie.

John Favreau New COWBOYS & ALIENS Trailer

Theatrical trailer for Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens is now online and looks really cool!

The movie stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and Sam Rockwell.

The official Synopsis:

1873.  Arizona Territory.  A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution.  The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist.  What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford).  It’s a town that lives in fear.

But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky.  Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation.  As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.  With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents—townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors—all in danger of annihilation.  United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
