Lost River Trailer – Best look yet at Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Lost River looks like an intriguing and somewhat strange movie, which isn’t too surprising for what is Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut. There’s still a lot of people who are keen to see it, even if it’s been getting rather mixed reports from film festivals.

Now the first proper trailer has arrived, so we can take a look at what all the fuss is about.

The film has been described as being ‘Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, BILLY, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while BONES, her eighteen-year-old son, discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive.’

It’s all a little peculiar, but the likes of Christina Hendricks, Iain De Caestecker, Eva Mendes, Saoirse Ronan and Matt Smith certainly seem to be having fun with it.

Lost River will reach the US on April 10th and the UK on April 24th. [Read more…]

Matt Smith & Eva Mendes Will Help Ryan Gosling To Catch A Monster

February 7, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Few people would have expected the worlds of Doctor Who and Ryan Gosling to crossover, but that’s just what’s happening as Variety reports that Ryan has cast Matt Smith in his fantasy noir directorial/screenwriting debut, How To Catch A Monster. Bloody Disgusting also suggests Gosling has handed a role in the movie to his girlfriend, Eva Mendes.

How to Catch a Monster is said to weave elements of fantasy noir and suspense into a modern day fairytale. Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, Billy (Christina Hendricks), a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and her son must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive. It all sounds a bit weird, but hopefully Gosling’s script will make sense when we see the movie.

Smith will play the male lead, although there’s no news on exactly who his character will be. The film marks Smith’s Hollywood debut. Mendes meanwhile will play Cat, who’s described as a prominent member of the Big Bad Wolf Club. Although what a Big Bad Wolf Club is hasn’t been revealed.

The movie starts shooting this spring.

Holy Motors (Blu-ray)

January 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dennis Lavant, Edith Scob, Kylie Minogue, Eva Mendes
Director: Leos Carax
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: January 28th 2013

Now here’s a movie to divide audiences. As its 90% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes suggests, it’s had an awful lot of love from the critics (several critics groups have given it their Best Foreign Film prize), but when I was watching it I couldn’t help but think a lot of people will find it infuriating and obtuse. But then, it almost seems to be challenging the viewer to think that, constantly hinting at the threads that tie it together before flying off on another flight of fancy that seems designed to frustrate the audience’s expectation.

The Place Beyond The Pines Trailer – Ryan Gosling turns to crime to raise his kid

December 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Place Beyond The Pine reunites Ryan Gosling with Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance, to tell the tale of Luke (Gosling), a professional motorcycle rider who turns to bank robberies to support his newborn son. However, when he crosses paths with a rookie police officer (Bradley Cooper), their violent confrontation spirals into a tense generational feud. Rose Byrne, Eva Mendes, Ray Liotta and Dane DeHaan also star.

Now the trailer for the movie has arrived, which to be honest make the film look more like Drive than Blue Valentine, taking a genre pic in an unusual direction. The movie premiered recently at the Toronto International Film Festival to good although not rapturous reviews.

It arrives in the UK on April 12th. Take a look at the trailer below [Read more…]

Girl In Progress Trailer

January 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The coming of age movie is a bit of a staple, and they range from great to truly dreadful. However it looks like Girl In Progress might be one of the better ones. The film follows a 13-year-old girls who’s been somewhat negelcted by her imperfect mother (Eva Mendes) and looks to a teen rite-of-passage as a way of changing her life. The film will be out later this year.
