Side Effects (DVD)

July 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Rooney Mara, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Channing Tatum
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Running Time: 105 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: July 19th 2013

I don’t think they did the early marketing of Side Effects very well, particularly in the US, as it was presented as if this was in the vein of Steven Soderbergh’s ensemble tales like Traffic and Contagion, but this time taking on the pharmaceutical industry. However it isn’t anything really like them – although it rather deliberately starts out like them and retains a streak of questioning our love of prescription drugs – as this is really a full-on twisty, turny thriller designed to keep you guessing as to what’s really going on.

Yesterday we posted a couple of character posters for Red 2 featuring Bruce Willis and John Malkovich, and now we’ve got a couple more, featuring Helen Mirren and a new face for the franchise, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The film sees Bruce Willis’ character back on the run, and along with his girlfriend (Mary-Louise Parker), making a run for it across Europe. Zeta-Jones isn’t the only new addition to the cast, as Anthony Hopkins, David Thewlis, and Byung-hun Lee will also star.

The film will be in cinemas this summer. Hopefully the film itself won’t be such a horrible shade of orange though.

Red 2 Trailer – Bruce Willis and co. are back in action

January 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Red was a surprise success in 2010, attracting an older audience to an action film than would normally go to the multitude of young guy oriented flicks we get each year. Now a sequel is on its way and the trailer is here.

The likes of Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich are back, this time joined by the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins and David Thewlis.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In RED 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they’ll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.’

The film hits cinemas in the UK on August 2nd.

New Side Effects Trailer – Channing Tatum & Jude Law get paranoid about prescription medication

January 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Everyone’s getting pretty paranoid in the new trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Side Effects, which makes you wonder whether any viewers of the movie are going to look twice at what prescription medication they are taking.

The film stars Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and is about a woman (Mara) who turns to prescription medication to deal with her anxiety over her husband’s (Tatum) release from prison. She begins to take a new brand of anti-depressant, prescribed by a doctor (Jude Law), who seems to have more than a professional interest in her. Before long, everything spirals badly out of control, when it appears a murder has been committed.

The film is set for release in the UK on March 15th, 2013. It certainly looks like it’ll be a dramatic one.

Broken City Trailer – Mark Wahlberg investigates a corrupt Russell Crowe

October 5, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Personally I don’t think I’ll be queueing up for Broken City as Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe are two of my least favourite actors, but a lot of people like them and the trailer for Broken City does make the movie seem like it might be okay. The film follows Billy Taggart (Wahlberg), a former cop who is hired to tail the cheating wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) of the city’s corrupt mayor (Crowe). Taggart successfully finds the man that the woman is sleeping with, but it’s not until after the man has been murdered. The movie’s supporting cast includes Barry Pepper, Kyle Chandler, Jeffrey Wright, Griffin Dunne, James Ransone, and Justin Chambers. The movie is currently set for UK release on January 25th, 2013.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Joins Red 2, With The Original Team Returning

May 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After Red turned into a decent sized hit, Summit Entertainment has been keen on a sequel, which is now moving forward with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung-hun Lee added to the cast. The sequel also reunites Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, and Helen Mirren, according to Deadline.

Dean Parisot directs from a screenplay by Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber, who also wrote the script for the first movie. Red 2 brings back the team of retired CIA operatives as they use their old-school style to take on a new set of enemies all across Europe.

There’s no more details on the plot that that, or info on who Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung-hun Lee might be playing. Rumours have also suggested Morgan Freeman may return too, even if those who’ve seen the first movie may be wondering how. The film is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2013.
