July 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

girl-on-the-train-pic1-slidePaula Hawkins’ novel, The Girl On The Train, turned into a bit of a publishing phenomenon, which inevitably meant a movie adaptation would follow. Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans, Edgar Ramirez and Allison Janney star in The Girl on the Train, from director Tate Taylor (The Help, Get on Up) and producer Marc Platt (Bridge of Spies, Into the Woods). In the thriller, Rachel (Blunt), who is devastated by her recent divorce, spends her daily commute fantasising about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds.

‘Based on Paula Hawkins’ bestselling novel, The Girl on the Train is adapted for the screen by Erin Cressida Wilson and Taylor. The film’s executive producers are Jared LeBoff and Celia Costas, and it will be released by Entertainment One in the UK.’

The film will be in cinemas in October. [Read more…]

June 20, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

miss-peregrine-character-poster1-slideFrom the look of this trailer, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children may see Tim Burton back in proper Tim Burton-y form, bringing a touch of gothic to a strange tale. It certainly looks like it might be pretty entertaining.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From visionary director Tim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience. When his beloved grandfather leaves Jake clues to a mystery that spans different worlds and times, he finds a magical place known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. But the mystery and danger deepen as he gets to know the residents and learns about their special powers…and their powerful enemies. Ultimately, Jake discovers that only his own special “peculiarity” can save his new friends.

‘Based on the bestselling novel by Ransom Riggs, MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN stars Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Chris O’Dowd, Ella Purnell, Allison Janney, Rupert Everett, Terence Stamp, with Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson and will arrive in UK cinemas September 30 in 3D and 2D.’

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Trailer – First look at Tim Burton’s magical time loop mystery

March 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

miss-peregrineTim Burton returns this year with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’s, magical mystery, which is set in a house that is is stuck in a time loop, where it’s always September 3, 1940, with the clock constantly resetting just before it gets bombed by the Germans.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From visionary director Tim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience. When his beloved grandfather leaves Jake clues to a mystery that spans different worlds and times, he finds a magical place known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

Minions (Blu-ray Review)

November 15, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Jennifer Saunders
Director: Kyle Balda, Pierre Coffin
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: November 16th 2015 (UK)

I severely doubt that when the creators of Despicable Me came up with the Minions as a bit of comic relief they ever thought they would become the phenomenon they have. Indeed, you could be forgiven if you’d forgotten those films were about Gru, due to the massive wave of Minions merchandise in the shops, and now a spin-off movie that has massively eclipsed its predecessors, becoming only the third animated film ever to gross more than a billion at cinemas worldwide.

The film takes us back to the origins of the little yellow creatures, who have been look for the evilest boss to follow around for millions of years, from prehistoric fish to the T-rex. However, the last few hundred years have been tough, with the Minions losing all their masters and retreating from the world and hiding away at the South Pole. [Read more…]

New Spy Trailer – Don’t mess with secret agent Melissa McCarthy

March 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Spy-Gold-PosterSpy got great notices when it premiered at SXSW, suggesting this will be another big success for Melissa McCarthy following Bridesmaids and The Heat. Now a new trailer and golden poster have arrived for the movie, give the whole thing a bit of a Bond feel.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster.’

It’ll be in UK cinemas on June 5th, but before then take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

The Rewrite (DVD Review)

February 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Hugh Grant, Marisa Tomei, J.K. Simmons, Allison Janney
Director: Marc Lawrence
Running Time: 107 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 9th 2015

In The Rewrite Hugh Grant is Keith Michaels, a man who several years ago won a Best Screenplay Oscar. However his last few films have flopped and he’s lost his way. He agrees to teach screenwriting at an East Coast college, where he intends to do as little work as possible. However the college has other ideas, forcing him to actually engage with his students.

Keith finds himself getting closer to a single mother in his class, Holly (Marisa Tomei), whose plain-spoken wisdom cuts through all of his Hollywood bull. Despite his initial disdain for the whole idea of teaching, Keith begins to find value in what he’s doing. [Read more…]

Spy Trailer – Melissa McCarthy turns secret agent for Paul Feig

January 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Spy-posterI’ve been keen to take a look at Spy even since it was announced (although back then it was known as Susan Cooper), as initial reports had compared it to Casino Royale, but then it was revealed it was a comedy with Melissa McCarthy set to star.

However the first trailers – there’s a green band and a red band version below – suggest a comedic Casino Royale may not be too far off the mark.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Susan Cooper is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner falls off the grid and another top agent is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster.’

The great cast also includes Jude Law, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham, Allison Janney, Miranda Hart, 50 Cent and Bobby Cannavale.

The film’s due out May 22nd in the US and June 5th in the UK. Take a look at the trailers below. [Read more…]

Allison Janney & Morena Baccarin Are Set To Spy Alongside Melissa McCarthy

May 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Allison-JanneyPaul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) is pulling together an impressive cast for Spy. Now he’s got a couple of new addition, with Deadline reporting that Allison Janney and Morena Baccarin have signed up for the movie.

Melissa McCarthy has the central role, with the likes of Rose Byrne, Jason Statham, Jude Law, Bobby Cannavale, Miranda Hart, Nia Long, 50 Cent, Peter Serafinowicz, Nargis Fakhri, Bjorn Gustafsson and Verka Serduchka joining her.

Not too much info has been released about the comedy, other than that it’s about an unlikely female secret agent called Susan Cooper, played by McCarthy. Baccarin will be Karen Walker, although there’s no info on exactly how she fits into the plot, while Janney is Elaine Crocker, a CIA agent who crosses paths with McCarthy’s evidence.

The movie will reunite Janney and McCarthy, who star together in this summer’s Tammy.

Struck By Lightning (DVD)

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Colfer, Allison Janney, Rebel Wilson, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney
Director: Brian Dannelly
Running Time: 86 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: September 30th 2013

Chris Colfer made his name as Kurt on Glee. While that keeps him pretty busy, he’s found time to write some children’s books and also the screenplay for Struck By Lightning. The fact he’s still only 23 is quite sickening.

He also takes the lead role here as Carson Phillips, who in the first few seconds of the movie is hit by lightning and killed. The film then flashes back to see how he got to that point. Carson is a senior in high school with dreams of becoming a journalist. He knows where he wants to work and what university he intends to go to – and he’s determined to get there. [Read more…]
