Swiss Army Man (Blu-ray Review) – Things get a little gay between a man & Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse

By Leave a Comment

It’s the call every actor dreams about, when someone asks them, ‘Will you play a farting corpse which has a direction-finding erection?’ The lucky man to get that role was Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as a dead guy dubbed Manny. He’s found washed up on a beach by Hank (Paul Dano), a man stranded on an island whose just about to kill himself. However, discovering Manny starts to change Hank’s perspective – not least because it allows Hank to ride the massively flatulent body back to the mainland.

Although Manny is definitely dead, things take an unexpected turn when he starts to talk, and also reveal other powers that help Hank survive in the wilderness. However, Manny has no memory of his previous existence, so Hank begins to teach him about life and love, and in the process begins to think that perhaps there are things worth living for. That includes a woman whose picture is on a phone, as well as in the growing relationship between Hank and Manny, which moves towards being a romance. Oh, and there’s Manny’s erection, which helps point them in the direction they need to go to. [Read more…]

Imperium (DVD Review)

Movies like Imperium always have difficulty finding a wide audience, largely because people often tend to actively avoid uncomfortable truths. The fact is that is you make a movie about Muslim terrorists – people who for many western audiences are part of an undifferentiated ‘them’ – they’ll watch it, but those same people will shy away from a movie about the realities of things such as white supremacism, because they don’t want to be confronted with the fact that as big a danger might come from those who are supposedly part of ‘us’.

In the film, Daniel Radcliffe is FBI Agent Nate Foster, who’s been working on Islamic fundamentalist terrorism until he’s pulled aside by Angela Zamparo (Toni Collette), who wants him to go undercover into the white supremacist movement. The FBI knows that six canisters of radioactive material has gone missing, and their biggest clue is that a neo-Nazi radio host, Dallas Wolf (Tracy Letts), appears to know more than he ought to about it.

Now You See Me 2 (Blu-ray Review)

By Leave a Comment

2013’s Now You See Me proved a far bigger hit than most people expected, which has ensured we’ve now got a follow-up. After their Robin Hood exploits in the first movie, illusionists The Horsemen have been in hiding, waiting for ‘The Eye’ to tell them what they should do next. They also have a new member, with Lizzy Caplan’s Lula joining Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Jack (Dave Franco) and Merritt (Woody Harrelson), along with their leader, FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo).

They get an assignment to take down someone who’s destroying personal privacy, but their comeback goes wrong when they’re hacked, kidnapped and taken to Macau, China. There they meet Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe), who tells them that it was largely his money they stole in the first movie, and that they now have to do his bidding if they want to live.

Swiss Army Man Red Band Trailer – Take a look at Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse’s boner compass!

By Leave a Comment

swiss-army-man-daniel-radcliffeSwiss Army Man is a film first, as it’s almost certainly the only movie in history that almost immediately become knows as the ‘farting corpse movie’. It’s also resulted in the most unlikely headline for a post I think I’ve ever written. The first trailer gave us a taste of just how bizarre and Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano movie was, and now that’s been amplified with a Red Band trailer.

It also gives us our first look at Radcliffe’s much talked about boner compass!

The film follows a castaway man (Dano), who has reached the end of his tether living alone when a corpse (Radcliffe) washes up on the island. The movie charts the growing relationship between the man and flatulent dead guy, which as you’ll see below, gets increasingly surreal and rather romantic.

Swiss Army Man is apparently a real audience divider, but it certainly looks intriguing. Expect to see it in cinemas later this year. And in case you’re wondering the scene right at the end is one that got many people talking, where Radcliffe is ridden like a jet-ski, powered by his farts! [Read more…]

Swiss Army Man Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe channels his best homoerotic farting corpse

By Leave a Comment

swiss-army-man-daniel-radcliffeWhen Swiss Army Man debuted at Sundance, it got a rather mixed reaction, partly because nobody could believe that the movie featured Daniel Radcliffe as a farting corpse. The fact that despite being dead, his erection (covered up, of course) prominently features also got a lot of attention, while many pointed out it’s verging on the edge of a necrophiliac gay romance.

However, unless you were at the festival, you couldn’t actually see the movie. Now though, a trailer has arrived so we can get a taste of the film, and if you watch it, you’ll quickly realise that reports that this is a very unusual film were not exaggerations.

The film follows a castaway man (Paul Dano), who has reached the end of his tether living alone when a corpse (Radcliffe), washes up on the island. The movie then charts the growing relationship between the man and flatulent dead guy, which as you’ll see below, gets increasingly surreal and rather romantic.

By 1 Comment

Since Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe has certainly been charting his own course, seemingly picking project he’s interested in rather than simply finding projects that are going to be enormous at the box office. It looks like he’s doing it again, as THR reports he’s signed up to star in Jungle.

Based on Yossi Ghinsberg’s memoir, Radcliffe will play ‘a young adventurer who went into the Amazon with two friends and a guide in what turned out to be a dangerous and deadly expedition’. Ghinsberg and his friend headed off into an unchartered area of Bolivia with a man who promised them adventure and gold, however things quickly went wrong, with Yossi ending up being lost for three weeks in the middle of nowhere, not even knowing which way civilisation was.

Kevin Bacon was previously attached to the film, but he isn’t mentioned in the latest report.

Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) will direct, based on a script by Justin Monjo. The movie will start shooting in Australia later this year.
