I’ve always felt South African writer/director Wayne Kramer is more than a little under appreciated in Hollywood. His films tend to have a Grimm fairytale-like quality to them despite their modern settings. THE COOLER is a magical film set during the end of the Mob-run Vegas casinos, while the twisted thriller RUNNING SCARED is possibly Paul Walker’s finest hour in a seedy violent story that literally has everything and is as dark as films can get without crossing a certain line.
Speaking of Walker, he’s also onboard Kramer’s all-star ensemble PAWN SHOP CHRONICLES, which from the look of this hilarious first trailer is another unique ‘adventure’. However, it’s literally a mind-blowing assault on the senses that I’ve no clue what’s going on – but it sure looks fun!
PAWN SHOP CHRONICLES co-stars Norman Reedus, Matt Dillon, Elijah Wood, Vincent D’Onofrio, Thomas Jane, Lukas Haas, Rachelle Lefevre, Chi McBride, Ashlee Simpson, Brendan Fraser and DJ Qualls, and hits US cinemas and on demand from 12th July. No details yet on a UK release.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
