New Hotel Transylvania 3 Trailer – Adam Sandler’s vampire family are going on vacation

March 21, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Quite often when filmmakers don’t know what to do with a sequel, they send the characters of vacation. Unfortunately that’s accompanied by a lack of ideas in the finished movie and a sense of desperation. Hopefully though, that won’t be the case with Hotel Transylvania 3.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation, join our favorite monster family as they embark on a vacation on a luxury monster cruise ship so Drac can take a summer vacation from providing everyone else’s vacation at the hotel. It’s smooth sailing for Drac’s Pack as the monsters indulge in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to exotic excursions, and catching up on their moon tans. But the dream vacation turns into a nightmare when Mavis realizes Drac has fallen for the mysterious captain of the ship, Ericka, who hides a dangerous secret that could destroy all of monsterkind.’

Hotel Transylvania 3 is due out in July. Take a look at the new trailer below.  [Read more…]

Hotel Transylvania 3 – Adam Sandler’s vampire family are going on vacation

November 19, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Quite often when filmmakers don’t know what to do with a sequel, they send the characters of vacation. Unfortunately that’s accompanied by a lack of ideas in the finished movie and a sense of desperation. Hopefully though, that won’t be the case with Hotel Transylvania 3.

Hotel Transylvania 2 (DVD Review)

February 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Mel Brooks, Selena Gomez, Kevin James
Director: Genndy Tartakovsky
Running Time: 89 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: February 15th 2016 (UK)

Hotel Transylvania was a far bigger success than many people expected. Indeed, even Sony Pictures appeared to be taken by surprise, but it didn’t take them long to decide a sequel was needed. That follow-up quickly takes us through the next few years of the story, which sees monsters and humans starting to get along better across the world.

Dracula’s daughter Mavis marries slacker boyfriend Jonathan and they have a child, Dennis. As Dennis is only half-vampire, it’s not clear whether he will end up being a monster or not, but Dracula is determined that before he’s five, his grandson will spout fangs, as he knows that otherwise he will remain human forever. Mavis meanwhile feels that if Dennis is indeed more human than monster, perhaps it would be better if they went to live in the ‘normal’ world. [Read more…]

The Cobbler (DVD Review)

January 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Adam Sandler, Melonie Diaz, Steve Buscemi, Method Man, Dan Stevens
Director: Tom McCarthy
Running Time: 99 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: January 4th 2016 (UK)

The Cobbler is not Adam Sandler in zany mood, but he’s not being 100% serious either. He certainly pulls things back from his usual performances and enters mumbling mode, which is admittedly more watchable than he often is. He is Max, a cobbler who is forced to use an old shoemaking machine when his newer one breaks. He discovers that the machine has magical properties, as he now has the ability to put on somebody else’s shoes and literally become them.

At first Max thinks he’s going to be able to have some fun with his powers (including a creepily rapey sequence involving a cameo from Dan Stevens and a woman in a shower), but he soon gets caught up in a tricky situation with a bunch of bad guys. Looking into the lives of his customers also makes his re-evaluate the attempts to save his neighbourhood, which he’d previously ignored, and so he sets out to use his powers to stop the baddies destroying everything.

Pixels (Blu-ray Review)

December 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage
Director: Chris Columbus
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 7th 2015 (UK)

Things have gone crazy with the world in Pixels. For a start we’re supposed to believe the American people have voted Kevin James to be their President, and also that if the POTUS is your bestie, you’re still going to have to work as a home entertainment installer. If that doesn’t suggest things are bad enough, the world is suddenly attacked by aliens whose army takes the form of 1980s 8-bit video game characters – from Centipede to Space Invaders – and starts destroying things by pixelating them.

The military can’t defeat them as they don’t know the rules of the games, so it’s down to Brenner (Adam Sandler), Ludlow (Josh Gad) and the arrogant and unstable Eddie (Peter Dinklage) – who were videogame champions when they were kids in the 80s – to take down the unusual invaders. [Read more…]

New Pixels Trailer – Adam Sandler & co. must save the world from videogames

May 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pixels-slide1Pixels is a bit of a wildcard for this summer season, hoping that audiences will be hungry for some effects driven comedy, despite a rather mixed record for that type of movie. It is based on a neat concept though and has a good cast.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades. Now, they’re going to have to do it for real. In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the video games as the models for their assaults — and now-U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede, and Space Invaders. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.’

The movie will be in UK cinemas. [Read more…]

Pixels Trailer – Adam Sandler takes on classic video characters

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pixels-poster3When you watch the trailer for Pixels it undoubtedly looks very weird, but it also looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper has to call on his childhood best friend, ‘80s video game champion Sam Brenner, now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders to defeat the aliens and save the planet.

‘Starring: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad, and Brian Cox’

The movie is due out in August. [Read more…]

The Cobbler Trailer – Adam Sandler gets a magical sewing machine

November 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cobbler-slideAdam Sandler seems to be trying something a tiny bit different with The Cobbler, sticking with comedy but adding in a side of whimsy, with the result that it looks like a kids film for adults, at least if this trailer is anything to go by.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE COBBLER is a warm and character-driven comedy that plays to the strengths of Adam Sandler’s and Thomas McCarthy’s most commercial successes. Sandler plays a 4th generation shoe-maker who discovers a magical sewing machine in his father’s basement that allows him to transform into other people by wearing their shoes. Similar in theme to Tom Hanks’ BIG, TRADING PLACES, and 13 GOING ON 30, THE COBBLER provides the perfect vehicle for Sandler to exhibit his endearing and selfless boyish charm, taking him on a voyage of self-discovery and learning the importance of family via the magic of “walking a mile in another man’s shoes.” A journey that results not only in changing himself, but the world around him.’

It’s not clear when we’ll see the movie, but take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Men, Women & Children Teaser Trailer – Ansel Elgort, Adam Sandler & Emma Thompson star in Jason Reitman’s film

August 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

men-woman-and-children-trailer-slideJason Reitman’s last film, Labor Day, slipped by without too much notice, but the Juno and Up In The Air director he’ll be hoping for a better reception for ensemble film, Men, Women & Children.

Now we can take our first look with a teaser trailer.

Based on the novel by Chad Kultgen and out later this year, the cast includes Ansel Elgort (Fault In Our Stars), Adam Sandler (Grown Ups 1 & 2), Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks), Judy Greer (Archer), Jennifer Garner (Dallas Buyers Club), Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and J.K. Simmons (Labor Day, Juno).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN” follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose – some tragic, some hopeful – as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers.’ [Read more…]

Adam Sandler, Josh Gad & Peter Dinklage Get Kinda Heroic In The First Pic From Pixels

July 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Pixels-preview-pic1After a while in development (the short film it’s based on was released in 2010), the fun sounding Pixels finally went into production earlier this year. Now we get the first pic, courtesy of a scan from EW.

It features Adam Sandler, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage, who aren’t exactly looking desperately heroic despite their sparkly outfits, alongside the film’s female lead, Michelle Monaghan.

The short film, by Patrick Jean, saw New York City being transformed into and destroyed by 8-bit pixel classic videogames. This movie version features aliens getting confused by video feeds of classic arcade games, thinking that it is a declaration of war against their species. As a result they attack the Earth by staging versions of these games in real life on a massive scale.

Sandler, Gad and Dinklage are the unlikely trio of videogame champions who may be Earth’s only hope, with Monaghan as the naval officer assigned to help them. Kevin James meanwhile plays the president.

The Chris Columbus directed movie is due out May 2015.
