Kings Trailer – Halle Berry & Daniel Craig make unlikely allies during the LA Riots

February 21, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Millie (Berry) is a hardworking single mom with a soft spot for strays. When Kings begins, she already has eight children living in her house and will soon bring home another. Her neighbor Obie (Craig) is the local loose cannon, and the only white man in an area largely inhabited by African Americans, Latinos, and Koreans. With racial tensions running dangerously high, Millie and Obie would appear to be unlikely allies. Yet following the acquittal of four of the officers accused of beating Rodney King, these two must navigate the gathering chaos in the city to bring Millie’s kids home safely.’

Kings premiered at the Toronto International FIlm Festival last year to okay reviews. It’s due to hit cinemas in the US in April.

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Logan Lucky (Blu-ray Review) – Steven Soderbergh takes Channing Tatum on a blue collar heist

December 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Running Time: 116 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 26th 2017 (UK)

Director Steven Soderbergh hasn’t done very well at retiring. After a career that’s ranged from Sex Lies & Videotape, Erin Brockovich and Traffic to the Ocean’s 11 trilogy, Out Of Sight and Magic Mike, he announced that his last feature film as a director would be 2013’s Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra. However, just four years later he’s back with Logan Lucky.

What appears to have brought him back wasn’t just the story and script, but that they managed to find a way to essentially cut out the usual mainstream film machine by pre-selling foreign distribution and TV/streaming rights and then releasing the movie in the US himself. [Read more…]

Daniel Craig Confirms He Will Indeed Play James Bond Again

August 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

He’s certainly kept Bond fans on the edge of their seat, but Daniel Craig has confirmed that he will indeed play James Bond in the upcoming 007 movie, which is currently just known as ‘Bond 25’. It puts to rest almost two years of speculation and rumour over whether he would be back or not.

Craig himself seemed to say it was the end of his tenure as Bond while promoting Spectre, with comments such as that he would “rather break this glass and slash my wrists” than play Bond again. However he and his representatives later clarified to say that he was merely talking about how he felt at that moment, following an arduous shoot and promotional schedule, and that he wasn’t ruling out a return.

Since then there have been all sorts of rumours, from suggestions he was signing on for two more movies for a record upfront payments, to reports that he was completely walking away and producers were already on the lookout for a replacement. The speculation has ramped up in recent months following the announcement of a November 2019 release date for Bond 25, which means it’s likely it’ll start shooting sometime later this year or early next.

Craig ended all the rumours on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, when he replied to a question about whether he would be back as Bond, by saying, “Yes…I always wanted to; I wanted a break.” [Read more…]

New Logan Lucky Trailer – Channing Tatum & Adam Driver star in Steven Soderbergh’s heist flick

June 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few years ago, director Magic Mike and Ocean’s 11 helmer Steven Soderbergh announced that he wasn’t going to direct any more feature films. However, as with his many earlier threats to retire, it’s turned out to be premature, as he’s now returning with Logan Lucky, his first film since 2013. The new movie has been described as being a bit of an anti-Ocean’s 11, with people going on a heist but stripping out the glamour.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) is from a blue-collar family from the hills of West Virginia, whose clan has been famous for its bad luck for nearly 90 years. After being fired from his job, and with his ex-wife (Katie Holmes) threatening to move out of State taking their daughter with her, Jimmy decides he has to do something to get his family’s life back on track. With a little help from his brother Clyde Logan (Adam Driver), his sister Mellie (Riley Keough) and an incarcerated explosive expert, the aptly named Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), he plans to steal $14 million from the Charlotte Motor Speedway on the busiest race day of the year.

irected by Academy Award-winner Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven, Magic Mike, Traffic), Logan Lucky also stars Hilary Swank, Seth MacFarlane, Katherine Waterston, Sebastian Stan, and Brian Gleeson.’

Logan Lucky is out in the UK on August 25th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Logan Lucky Trailer – Steven Soderbergh teams with Channing Tatum & Adam Driver for a heist

May 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few years ago, director Magic Mike and Ocean’s 11 helmer Steven Soderbergh announced that he wasn’t going to direct any more feature films. However, as with his many earlier threats to retire, it’s turned out to be premature, as he’s now returning with Logan Lucky, his first film since 2013. The new movie has been described as being a bit of an anti-Ocean’s 11, with people going on a heist but stripping out the glamour.

The movie is about two brothers, Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde (Adam Driver), who attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina. That involves them needing the help of the seemingly nutty Joe Bang (Daniel Craig). The impressive cast also includes Riley Keough, Katherine Waterston, Dwight Yoakam, Seth MacFarlane, Macon Blair, Hilary Swank, Sebastian Stan, and Katie Holmes.

Logan Lucky is out in the US in August. No UK date is currently set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Love Is The Devil (Blu-ray Review)

November 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Derek Jacobi, Daniel Craig, Tilda Swinton, Anne Lambton, Adrian Scarborough
Director: John Maybury
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: November 23rd 2015 (UK)

John Maybury’s 1998 film about the relationship between painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and his lover George Dyer (Daniel Craig) gets an HD upgrade from the British Film Institute with this Blu-ray release. The movie focuses on one period of Bacon’s life in the 1960s, when Bacon was already a lauded artist, considered by many as the greatest living British painter.

Bacon wakes up one night to find small-time thief George Dyer robbing his apartment/studio. Instead of calling police, Bacon invites Dyer into his bed. The thief accepts, which marks the start of an intense relationship between the two – one of whom is a rarefied figure in the world of art, while the other is a working class criminal. Initially their mismatched social status doesn’t matter, partly as their sexuality and attitudes means both feel like outsiders, but soon cracks begin to show. [Read more…]

James Bond & Jason Bourne Are In Love In A Fun New Vid

November 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

matt-damon-james-bondEver since the first Jason Bourne movie arrived there’s been a perception that it’s in competition with Bond, but as a new Funny Or Die video suggests, the truth is rather different – James and Jason are in love.

Yep, they might not be telling anyone (they are spies after all), but the two secret agents are harbouring a passion for one another that they can’t contain.

Now we know why 007 seems to glum in the likes of Skyfall and Spectre, as he’s without the love of his life.

It’s all done through some fun editing and effects, to create a video that’s well worth a watch. Take a look at the Funny Or Die vid below.

Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall Spectre Music Video Debuts

October 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sam-smith-writings-on-the-wallWriting’s On The Wall has already become the first Bond theme to score a number 1 of the UK music charts, but its only now that Sam Smith’s tune has got a music video.

As you’d expect for the theme song from a 007 movie, it’s a pretty cool and stylish video, giving plenty of hints at what we might expect from Spectre – which suggests it might not be the jolliest of films.

Sam Smith enlisted renowned music video director and long-term collaborator Luke Monaghan to direct the video. Shot in various locations throughout Rome, the video for Writing’s On The Wall opens with a poignant scene of Union Jack clad coffins and goes on to feature various shots of Smith filmed in the same locations as Spectre. The video is interspersed with extracts from the Spectre film including a love scene between Bond (Daniel Craig) and Lucia (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal.

Take a look below. [Read more…]

Final Spectre Trailer – It’s all action as Daniel Craig’s 007 returns

October 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

spectre-slideSam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall has just become the first Bond theme ever to reach number 1 on the UK single’s charts, and it’s just a few weeks until Spectre reaches cinemas, hoping to match the gargantual success of Skyfall.

And just in case we needed another reminder of 007’s imminent return, as final trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

‘Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

‘As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.’

‘Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time.’

The is is set for release in the UK on October 26, 2015, and in the US on November 6, 2015. [Read more…]
