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.

Mindscape (DVD Review)

August 24, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Mark Strong, Taissa Farmiga, Brian Cox
Director: Jorge Dorado
Running Time: 99 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: August 25th 2014 (UK)

With a largely British cast, a Spanish director and a mix of American and European money, it’s fair to say that Mindscape (released as Anna in the US) is a pretty international production. It follows John (Mark Strong), a memory detective who is able to use technology to go into other people’s minds and see their memories. However following the death of his wife and then suffering illness, he’s no longer at the top of his game.

To help him out he’s given what should be a relatively easy assignment – to go into the mind of 16-year-old Anna (Taissa Farmiga) to find the psychological root of her refusal to eat. Her father seems certain his daughter is dangerous and needs to be locked up, but very quickly from what he sees in her mind, John begins to suspect there might be something else going on.

Mark Strong, Brian Cox & Tassia Farmiga Up For Mindscape

October 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mark Strong, Brian Cox, and Taissa Farmiga have joined the cast of Mindscape, the feature directorial debut of Spanish filmmaker Jorge Dorado, according to Deadline. Shooting has just gotten underway on the sci-fi flick.

The movie is about a man who has the unique ability to enter a person’s mind. He examines a young girl to determine if she is a highly intellectual sociopath, or just a misguided teenager. No character details were given for any of the new cast members, although it would make sense for Farmiga to be the teenager and Strong to be the man who can enter people’s minds.

Guy Holmes and Martha Holmes wrote the screenplay, with Jaume Collet-Serra, Juan Sola and Peter Safran producing. Jorge Dorado is best known for directing a segment of the 2007 anthology Limonchello, and his 2005 short La Guerra.

John Lithgow Up For Dog Fight

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Adding John Lithgow to a film’s cast is nearly always a good move, and that’s probably going to bes true of the political comedy Dog Fight, which Variety reports Lithgow has signed up to star in, although no details have been given as to what character he’ll be playing.

The movie is about two political rivals (Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis) who are competing for a Congressional seat in a small North Carolina district. Jason Sudeikis, Sarah Baker, Brian Cox, and Dylan McDermott also star.

Jay Roach is directing Dog Fight from a screenplay by Shawn Harwell and Chris Henchy. Ferrell and Galifianakis are producing alongside Adam McKay. And they’d better start filming soon, as Warner Bros. already has the comedy slated for release on August 10, 2012, ahead of the US election in the autumn.
