Dave Franco Gets Engaged To His Boyfriend In A New Bad Neighbours 2 Clip

By Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-dave-franco-engagementA few weeks ago it was confirmed that after some hints and homoeroticism in Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US), Dave Franco’s character, Pete, was going to be an out and proud gay man in the sequel. He’s also getting engaged, and if you haven’t seen it yet, a new clip shows a rather sweet set-up where the frat boys get together to make the proposal a special occasion.

In regard to the decision to allow Peter to come out and get engaged, director Nicholas Stoller has said, “Clearly, we’re playing with the homoerotic tension there [with the relationship between Pete and his frat brother Teddy (Zac Efron)], and I was like, ‘He should just be gay.’ Then in this one, it came up again. [Co-writer] Evan Goldberg brought it up, and he said, ‘I think he should be gay, and part of [his arc] should be the proposal.’ It was kind of all of us coming to the same conclusion.”

Take a look at the sweet clip below. Bad Neighbours 2 is in cinemas now. [Read more…]

Watch The First Five Minutes Of How To Train Your Dragon 2

By Leave a Comment


After a four year wait, How To Train Your Dragon 2 is nearly here. To help remind people why we should all be looking forward to returning to the world of Hiccup and Toothless, the first five minutes of the movie have been released.

It’s slightly surprising we’ve got it so early, as the film doesn’t hit US cinemas until June 13th and will be out in the UK July 4th – although it does a good job of suggesting this is a movie that’ll be worth the 3D admission.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set for release in June 2014, The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds.

‘When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.’ [Read more…]

New How to Train Your Dragon 2 Trailer – Hiccup and Toothless are back in action

By Leave a Comment


It’s taken a little while for DreamWorks to produce a follow-up to their 2010 hit How To Train Your Dragon (although there has been a pretty good TV series). However How To Train Your Dragon 2 is coming this summer, and now we can get a fresh look with a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set for release in June 2014, The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk.

Kick-Ass 2 (DVD)

By Leave a Comment

2010’s Kick-Ass gained a lot of fans who loved its blend of heart, humour and over-the-top comic book violence. Now we get the follow-up, which sees Jeff Wadlow take over from Matthew Vaughn in the director’s chair. While it’s an okay effort, it’s difficult not to wish Vaughn had stuck around.

Picking up some time after the first movie, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) has left his Kick-Ass superhero alter-ego behind and is now attending high school along Mindy McCready (Chloe Moretz), the former Hit Girl. While they may not be trying to fight the bad guys, Kick-Ass has inspired others to take up the costumed vigilante cause. [Read more…]

Dragons: Riders Of Berk – Part 1 (DVD)

By Leave a Comment

DreamWorks Animation has a bit of a problem. When it has a hit movie, its share price goes up and they make a lot of money, but if they have a flop, things go bad very fast, which eventually led to a lot of layoffs. To try and stem this boom and bust cycle, they’ve gone heavily into sequels that should be sure-fire winners and more recently tried to take their product to TV, in the hope it can ensure they have a healthy bottom line at all times. After a Kung Fu Panda series comes Dragons: Riders Of Berk, based on How To Train Your Dragon. [Read more…]

Neighbors Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & Dave Franco turn frat boys

By Leave a Comment


I’ve lived next door to a frat house, and to be honest, it wasn’t that bad, but that’s not the case for Seth Rogen, who gets good news and bad news when he has new neighbors.

The good news is that Zac Efron and Dave Franco have moved in, but the bad is that they are part of a loud, hard-partying frat who really don’t care what sort of chaos they cause the neighborhood.

After a rather hot pic of Efron in the movie landed a couple of days ago (which you can see below), now a red band trailer for Neighbors has landed, showing just what sort of disruption the Rogen and Rose Byrne experience when the boys come to town.

The film will be in cinemas early next year.

Kick-Ass 2 Extended Red-Band Trailer – Aaron Taylor Johnson & Chloe Moretz are back

By Leave a Comment


I think it’s safe to say that they haven’t decided to sanitise Kick-Ass 2 to get a lower rating, as this new extended red-band trailer – released to coincide with the film’s appearance at Comic-Con – is certainly keen to show that the language and violence is very much intact. And it’s also looking a whole lot of fun.

It also gives us out best look yet at Jim Carrey’s Colonel Stars & Stripes, as well as Christoph Mintz-Plasse’s return as the rather S&M The Motherf**ka.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2.  After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol.  When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

‘When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave.  With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.  Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own.  With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

‘Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets,  the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad.  But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.’

Kick-Ass 2 hits cinemas in August. [Read more…]
