London & Las Vegas Both on Worst Places to Live...For Disaster Movies

Lock up the kids and the pets! Some bad news for London and Las Vegas - at least for those who live there in the movies. With the recent release of 2012, Yahoo! Movies has put together a list of world cities that have faced the most movie disasters. Tokyo takes the top spot - all those Godzilla movies sealed the deal - while London comes in at number 7 and Las Vegas at number 8. Londoners can run from dragons (Reign of Fire), zombies (28 Days Later) and nuclear disasters (The Day the Earth Caught Fire), while Las Vegans just have to fend off zombies (Resident Evil: Extinction).

The list is far from comprehensive - how could they leave off Shaun of the Dead? What are your favorite disaster or horror films set in the UK or Las Vegas?

Pencil it In: November 23 - 29th

Here are this week's upcoming UK events:

  • Be sure to catch the British National Theatre of America's panto, Snow White. The final show dates are November 24 and 25th.
  • The Clark County Library will be showing In Bruges at 7p on Tuesday, November 24th. Irish hit men Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson take a forced vacation in the Belgian town of Bruges when their employer orders them to lay low after a botched job. The jittery Farrell can't enjoy the medieval village's unusual sights until a movie shoot and a pretty girl take his mind off his problems--maybe too much. Ralph Fiennes, Clemence Poesy co-star in writer/director Martin McDonagh's brash comedy-drama. Presented in conjunction with Nevadans Organized to Better Address Diversity (N.O.T.B.A.D).
  • Join UKLV for their Monte Carlo or Bust event in celebration of the launch of their new website. The event is at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino on Sunday, November 29th, with the first 600 tickets free and just $15 after that.
