Baywatch: Extended Edition (Blu-ray Review) – Zac Efron & Dwayne Johnson don the red shorts

September 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Priyanka Chopra, Jon Bass
Director: Seth Gordon
Running Time: 121 mins (Extended Edition)
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 25th 2017 (UK)

It was almost inevitable that at some point they’d make a movie version of Baywatch. It was, after all, the most popular TV show in the world in the 1990s, and its reputation for being a bit silly and cheesy meant it was ripe for comedy/parody. However, it’s also the sort of property that could have resulted in a truly dreadful film.

I suppose I ought to say what the Baywatch movie is about, but it doesn’t matter an awful lot, as the plot often feels like the least important part of the film. Dwayne Johnson is Mitch Buchanan, head of Emerald Bay’s lifeguards. He has a new recruit thrust upon him – disgraced double Olympic swimming champion Matt Brody (Zac Efron). The young buck isn’t that impressed about being there, and thinks the lifeguards should be honoured he’s walking amongst them. He’s also a bit confused about why Mitch and his fellow guards seem to spend most of their time fighting crime rather than saving people from drowning. [Read more…]

Baywatch Red Band Trailer – Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron have an underwater smooch

May 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s only a couple of weeks until we get to see whether the idea of rebooted 90s TV hit Baywatch as a big screen comedy vehicle for Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson was a good idea or not. To help convince us it will be, a new Red Band trailer for the movie has arrived.

The film itself is, of course, based on the hit 90s TV series. As you might expect being taken from show that’s known for being pretty cheesy, the film keeps it’s tongue firmly in its cheek. And yes, there is some slo-mo running in swimsuits. The movies follows ‘devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit (Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.’

Take a look at the new trailer below. Baywatch will be in cinemas on May 29th. [Read more…]

Baywatch Super Bowl Spot – Zac Efron’s star-spangled speedos steal the show

February 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For people who aren’t that interested in American Football, probably the most memorable moment from the Super Bowl wasn’t on the field, it was in the ad break, when a spot for the big screen version of Baywatch featured Zac Efron in some very small stars and stripes speedos. I’m not sure whether that would be classed as patriotic or not?

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘BAYWATCH follows devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (Dwayne Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit ( Zac Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.’ Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, Jon Bass, Kelly Rohrbach and Ilfenesh Hadera also star.

You can take a look at the Super Bowl spot below. The movie will be in cinemas in May. [Read more…]

Baywatch Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & The Rock offer up more shirtlessness (& F-bombs)

January 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Just take a look at the picture above, and tell me it hasn’t reached the point where it looks like Zac Efron’s head has been transplanted onto someone else’s body. This is admittedly from a particularly pumped up shot from the new Baywatch red-band trailer, but even in his other shirtless shots, he does look like he should be told that having more than 2% body fat is not a crime. But hey, perhaps he felt hulking it up wa necessary if he was going to be shirtless next to the bulk of Dwayne Johnson.

Either way, the sight of both of them with their shirts off is quite impressive.

The film is, of course, based on the hit 90s TV series. As you might expect being taken from show that’s known for being pretty cheesy, the film keeps it’s tongue firmly in its cheek. And yes, there is some slo-mo running in swimsuits.

Take a look at the new International Red Band trailer below. Baywatch will be in cinemas next summer.

Baywatch Trailer – Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron prove just how much time they’ve spent in the gym

December 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

From the evidence of this first trailer for Baywatch, Zac Efron is trying to very slowly turn into the Hulk – he may start turning green at some point, although for this movie, he’s gone for orange. The man has the most ridiculously defined, bulging torso. But then, he may not see it that way, as perhaps he was feeling puny next to the bulk of Dwayne Johnson.

Either way, the sight of both of them with their shirts off is quite impressive.

San Andreas (Blu-ray Review)

October 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Paul Giamatti
Director: Brad Peyton
Running Time: 114 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 12th 2015 (UK)

If you’d hoped that having Lost’s Carlton Cuse writing the screenplay would result in San Andreas being a more cerebral form of disaster movie, you should realise he was also an executive producer on Nash Bridges, so he is not averse to more straightforward entertainment. Indeed, it’s almost like he watched every Roland Emmerich movies – from 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow to Independence Day and Godzilla – and then used that as his template, but cut out anything too intelligent.

There is little to surprise here, although it certainly delivers on the large sale mayhem.

Dwayne Johnson is Los Angeles helicopter rescue pilot Ray, who’s dealing with the collapse of his marriage following the death of one of his children. However, he’s soon going to have more than that to worry about (actually, that’s not true as that’s all he cares about), when earthquakes start devastating California, starting at the Hoover Dam and then working its way up to San Francisco. And wouldn’t you know it, Ray’s daughter is in San Francisco, and so he sets off to rescue her, dodging city destroying shaking, tsunamis and general building destroying catastrophe along the way, as the San Andreas fault splits apart, resulting in the biggest quakes ever known.

True Detective (Blu-ray Review)

June 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Monaghan, Alexandra Daddario, Kevin Dunn
Director: Cary Fukunaga
Running Time: 440 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: June 9th 2014 (UK)

HBO has certainly got itself a reputation in the last few years for bringing the big screen onto the small screen, whether it’s with films like Behind The Candelabra and The Normal Heart or by getting big name stars to appear in its TV series. With True Detective they lured in Matthew McConaughey (just before he was going to win an Oscar) and Woody Harrelson, as well as Jane Eyre director Cary Fukunaga, for what the makers have describes as an eight-part cinematic experience.

Although that might sound rather hyperbolic, this time it pretty much lives up to the hype, even if it isn’t the total masterpiece some have suggested. [Read more…]

Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters (Blu-ray)

December 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Douglas Smith, Jake Abel
Director: Thor Freudenthal
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: December 9th 2013

After Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief failed to become a massive success, most people thought that would be the last we’d see of Rick Riordan’s boy demigod. While it took Fox a while to decide to make a follow-up, it’s now here.

This time around Percy (Logan Lerman) is living at Camp Half-Blood alongside the other half-human kids with Olympian parents, which is the only place they’re safe, thanks to a protective barrier that prevents the forces that would like to kill them from getting in. However just as Percy learns that his nemesis from the first film, Luke (Jake Abel), isn’t dead, the tree that’s responsible for the maintaining barrier begins to die. The only way to reverse the poisoning is with the mystical Golden Fleece. [Read more…]

New Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters Trailer – Logan Lerman goes half Greek God again

May 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Although there are some people wondering why they bothered making a sequel to Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, it was actually a decent movie that ended up being more profitable than many gave it credit for.

Fox is hoping to build the franchise with Sea Of Monsters, which sees Logan Lerman, Alexandra Dadarrio and Brandon T. Jackson back in the world of modern day Greek gods. This time Percy Jackson (Lerman), the son of Poseidon, continues his epic journey to fulfill his destiny, as he teams with his demigod friends to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which has the power to save their home and training ground, Camp Half-Blood.

The film is due out on August 7th.
