AllNighter Autumn 2008

Introduction

The Autumn AllNighter of 2008 was held on Friday Week 7 (14th Nov).

The AllNighter is WSC's flagship event, and one not to be missed. It's a night of great films and interval entertainment (including a film quiz and raffle with the chance to win hundreds of pounds' worth of prizes including an iPod Nano), creating an atmosphere second to none! Tickets will be on sale before films during Week 7 and at the event itself. Tickets sold on the door will be on a first come, first served basis so buy early to avoid disappointment!

WALL-E

Set in the future, WALL-E is a garbage disposal robot, designed to clear up the giant mess left by humans and the global consumer corporation. The situation is so dire that humans have deserted the planet in favour of a space cruise ship. Despite being the last robot left, WALL-E spends his days happily compacting rubbish and collecting nick-nacks he finds interesting. One day, a sleek-looking lady robot called Eve arrives. WALL-E immediately falls for her, but his newfound love leads to a much bigger adventure...

The Incredible Hulk

This action packed adventure is much more interesting than the somber take on the beloved Marvel Comics hero in 2003. The saga unfolds with a cure in reach for the world’s most primal fury with scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) searching for an antidote. He is pursued by the Abomination (Tim Roth) who is a ruthless aggressive beast whose powers match those of the Hulk himself. This version is indeed bigger, stronger and faster and the effects look more “realistic” to say the least.

The Forbidden Kingdom

A Kung Fu obsessed, American teenager, Jason is sent to ancient China to return a magical staff to the Monkey King soon after its discovery in China Town. The problem is, he is not trained in Kung Fu and begins his martial arts instruction with two masters, the Drunken Begger and the Silent Monk Jason also faces the various challenges laid forth by Jade Warlord who is desperate to kill Jason in order to destroy the prophecy that predicts his end.

The Mystery

The most anticipated film in WSC's programme. A secret guarded so closely that only one person in the whole of Warwick University knows what it's going to be! It could be a recent blockbuster, or a preview of a film that hasn't been released in the cinemas! The only way to find out is to be there on the night! Will it be action? Comedy? Erotic thriller?! There’s only one way to find out!

Sin City

Sin City tells three interweaving stories of life in the underworld of Basin City, a corrupt, nightmarish amalgamation of everything that is wrong with the world. Mickey Rourke gives a powerhouse performance as drug-addled bruiser Marv, desperately trying to find the only woman who ever loved him. Bruce Willis’ grizzled cop fights to save skinny little Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) from the clutches of a predatory paedophile, and Clive Owen plays a gangster caught up in the war between two rival mafias.

Zoolander

When Award Winning model Derek Zoolander is beaten by so-hot-right-now Hansel he thinks his career is over- Time magazine journalist Matilda Jefferies labels him an idiot and he is disowned by his family. Whilst he ponders if there’s more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good-looking, fashion mogul Mugatu hatches an elaborate plan to prevent the newly elected Prime Minister of Malaysia from eliminating child labour, and his first step is to hire Derek as the face of Derelicte…
