NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE

By Iain MacLeod, Iain Macleod
| goreinthestore.uk
Directed by Matt Johnson. Starring Matt Johnson, Jay McCarrol. Science-Fiction Comedy, Canada, 100 Minutes, Certificate15. Released in Cinemas in the UK on July 3rd by Vertigo Releasing. Based on a cult web series that later moved onto niche TV channel VICE, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll’s loose comedy about two clueless, Toronto based slackers and their hare-brained schemes to play local venue the Rivoli as their band Nirvanna, hardly seems like fruitful material to adapt for the cinema.

Directed by Kenji Tanigaki. Starring Miao Xie, Joe Taslim, Enyou Yang. Action, China, 113 Minutes, Certificate 18. Released in Cinemas in the UK on June 26th by Lionsgate. One of the biggest problems in running a site like this, is trying to find a suitable still to accompany a review. Most of the time all that is available is a perfunctory image of the main actors just standing around in a style that is hardly representative of the film or more often just plain boring.
