Overboard Trailer – Anna Faris & Eugenio Derbez take over from Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell

February 13, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The 1987 Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell comedy Overboard is fondly remembered by many. Now it’s getting a remake, with the main roles gender-swapped, and Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez leading the cast. It’s perhaps the biggest English-language role yet for Derbez, who’s been a major force in Mexican comedy and one of the best known actors in hispanic, Spanish-language entertainment in the US.

The film follows, ‘A spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee. A remake of the 1987 comedy.’

In the original it was Goldie Hawn who played the spoiled, rich heiress, with Russell as a carpenter who gets his own back when she gets amnesia and he convinces her that they’re husband and wife. Here things are getting swapped round though, with Derbez as the wealthy ass, while Faris is the one using the amnesia to her advantage.

The film is due out next Spring. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 (Blu-ray)

February 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Will Forte, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Neil Patrick Harris
Director: Cody Cameron, Kris Pearn
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: February 17th 2014

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a surprise success – a movie that on paper sounded too bizarre to find a mass audience, but thanks to wit, immense inventiveness and a clever use of its premise grossed over $240 million around the world. The sequel isn’t quite as good as the first movie, but it’s still a lot of fun.

Following the events of the first film, the island that inventor Flint Lockwood lived on is now covered in the food that his fantastical machine managed to create. As a result Live Corp and its chief, Chester V (who’s Flint hero), agree to step in with promises to clean things up, while giving everyone a home on the mainland in the meantime. Flint is given a job at Live Corp, where he’s always wanted to work. [Read more…]

New Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Trailer – Meet the Foodimals

July 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a bigger hit than many expected –  largely because it was a better movie than it had any right to be – so it’s little surprise a sequel is coming. Now the new trailer for the film has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood’s genius is finally being recognized as he’s invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester’s right-hand-gal – and one of his greatest inventions – is Barb (a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, who is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick. It’s always been Flint’s dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids – “foodimals!” With the fate of humanity in his hands, Chester sends Flint and his friends on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again!’

The movie is due out in the UK on October 25th, with a late September debut for the US.

I Give It A Year (DVD)

June 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Rafe Spall, Rose Byrne, Anna Faris, Simon Baker, Stephen Merchant
Director: Dan Mazer
Running Time: 93 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 3rd 2013

There’s a lot of criticism that most romantic comedies just go by-the-book, presenting exactly the same story over and over again. So if a rom-com tries to do something a little different, it should be applauded. It’s just a shame that with I Give It A Year, it doesn’t really work.

As the marketing has been keen to tell us, I Give It A Year starts where other rom-coms end. After a whirlwind romance, Josh (Rafe Spall) and Nat (Rose Byrne) get married, even though many of their friends aren’t sure it’s a good match. It’s not long before the cracks begin to show, with the little niggles of their relationship becoming more and more difficult to take. [Read more…]

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 Trailer – Take a look at the pun-tastic sequel

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a bigger hit than many expected, so it’s little surprise a sequel is coming. Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived, showing us just how many food puns it’s going to try and squeeze in.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood’s genius is finally being recognized as he’s invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind.

Ellen Page To Make Directorial Debut With Miss Stevens, With Anna Faris Starring

February 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ellen-page-pic1While an awful lot of actors like to direct films, they often wait until they’re in their 30s at least to make the move behind the camera. However Ellen has decided the grand old age of 26 is right for her to make her directorial debut with Miss Stevens.

Deadline reports that Anna Faris is attached to star as a high school teacher who has to look after a group of students when they head to the state drama competition. Julia Hart wrote the screenplay.

It isn’t known when the movie might shoot, but it won’t be for a few months at least, as Page will soon be heading to the set of X-Men: Days Of Future Past. She’s set reprise her role as Kitty Pryde, who’s believed to have a major role in the time-travelling movie, which brings together the First Class cast with the original X-Men.

I Give It A Year Trailer – Stephen Merchant turns best man

November 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first trailer for the British comedy I Give It A Year has arrived, which teams up the likes of Anna Faris, Olivia Colman, Rose Byrne, Simon Baker, Rafe Spall, Minnie Driver and Stephen Merchant, for a movie that looks at the realities, trials and tribulations of the first year of marriage. Merchant gets the plum role in this promo, giving a truly cringe-inducing best man speech, in a way only he can.

Dan Mazer makes his feature-directorial debut, having spent years writing and producing with Sasha Baron Cohen on everything from Ali G to The Dictator. The film is due to hit UK cinemas on 8th February 2013, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

And while we’re hit, why is it nearly every British comedy in the past few years seems to have been about weddings? It’s not even like they’re inherently successful, as everything from The Knot to The Wedding Video have proved. Maybe looking at the first year of marriage can broaden things out a bit.

The Dictator Red Band Trailer – Sacha Baron Cohen’s film gets a bit ruder

May 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Sacha Baron Cohen returns to cinemas on May 16th with The Dictator, and now a new red band trailer has arrived, which shows us some of the film’s ruder moments. The film is ‘The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed’ and who ends up having to live the life on an ordinary American when he goes to New York to deliver a speech to the UN. Bizarrely, it’s partly based on a book by Saddam Hussein!
