John Landis’ attempt to add a punch line to the murderous escapades of two Irishmen in Scotland evokes all kinds of wrong in Burke & Hare.

John Landis has done some extraordinary things in the past that have made their mark on cinematic culture: An American Werewolf in London, Trading Places, The Blues Brothers, Animal House and not to mention the ‘greatest music video of all time’. Now he returns with Burke and Hare and We Got This Covered is here to tell you how it turned out.
WOW, 4/10 is not a good score, i had never heard of the Movie until recently when i saw a Trailer on Yahoo, The trailers look good, but i never expected that it would get 4/10.
I loved Animal House. That is a John Landis classic.
However this movie looks like it isn't that good.
Gosh I had a lot more hope for this film than that. Considering the two actors, I was really looking forward to this film...Guess this might just have to be a rental...
DOG: t's early summer. Simon Pegg is doing advanced interviews for his incoming film, Burke And Hare. The proviso? We're not allowed to run it until now.
However, it worked out surprising well. We caught up with Simon on the morning of day one of his interview schedule, and found him chatty, engaging and clearly passionate about the film. And, in particular, working with director John Landis.
