Money Monster (Blu-ray Review)

October 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: George Clooney, Jack O'Connell, Julia Roberts, Dominic West, Caitriona Balfe
Director: Jodie Foster
Running Time: 98 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 3rd 2016 (UK)

Lee Gates (George Clooney) presents the TV show Money Monster, a programme that tries to make stocks, shares and investments a bit more entertaining. His latest broadcast quickly takes an unexpected turn when a man (Jack O’Connell) bursts into the studio brandishing a gun and forces Lee to put on an explosive vest.

The man, who it’s revealed is called Kyle, is an average joe who’s been sent over the edge by the fact that a few weeks before Lee told people they should invest in a company called IBIS. However, while Lee said it was safer than a savings account, the share price has collapsed due to what the company said was a glitch in its trading algorithm, and Kyle has lost every penny he’s got. Kyle wants answers and thinks Lee should be the one who gets them for him. With the help of his producer, Patty (Julia Roberts), talking to him from the gallery, Lee attempts to keep Kyle calm while they figure out what’s going on. [Read more…]

Money Monster Trailer – George Clooney & Julia Roberts are taken hostage by Jack O’Connell

January 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

money-monster-trailer-slideGeorge Clooney and Julia Roberts are teaming up again for the drama/thriller Money Monster, and they’re bringing on Jack O’Connell for the ride. And as this is Clooney, you shouldn’t be too surprised that the movie tries to mix entertainment with a few social issues.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the taut and tense thriller Money Monster, Lee Gates (George Clooney) is a bombastic TV personality whose popular financial network show has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (Jack O’Connell) takes Gates, his crew, and his ace producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, Gates and Fenn must find a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the truth behind a tangle of big money lies.’

The film will be out in the US in March, but won’t reach the UK until May. Take a look at the first trailer below.

New Hail, Caesar! Trailer – Ralph Fiennes wants Alden Ehrenreich to be a better actor in the Coen’s star-studded flick

January 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hail-caesar-quadWhile many had expected the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! to be making an Oscar run, it’s been slightly pushed back, but it still looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. If nothing else their look back at the Golden Age of Hollywood has one hell of a cast.

A new trailer has now arrived, which tells us little about the plot, but certainly gives us a feel for quirky tone we can expect.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Four-time Oscar®-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, True Grit, Fargo) write and direct Hail, Caesar!, an all-star comedy set during the latter years of Hollywood’s Golden Age.  Starring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill and Frances McDormand, Hail, Caesar! follows a single day in the life of a studio fixer who is presented with plenty of problems to fix.’

The film will be in UK cinemas on March 4th.

Tomorrowland: A World Beyond (Cinema Review)

May 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie
Director: Brad Bird
Running Time: 130 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: May 22nd 2015 (UK)

I love sci-fi and to say I was looking forward to this film is an understatement. I am a huge fan of Brad Bird’s previous work, The Incredibles (2004), and his first live action film, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), is one of the best entries in the franchise.

His films have a trademark sense of kinetic fun and action, mixed with well-formed characters and witty dialogue, which is the perfect mix for any summer blockbuster.

Tomorrowland tells the story of Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) a highly optimistic girl with smarts who has dreamt of travelling to the stars. She is arrested whilst trying to sabotage the dismantling of Cape Canaveral’s Launchpad, and upon release she discovers a mysterious pin which by touch transports her to the scientific and artistic wonder that is Tomorrowland (think Epcot designed by Apple and Syd Mead, complete with a hoverrail (hover meaning hover, rail meaning rail)).

New Tomorrowland: A World Beyond Trailer – George Clooney heads for another world

April 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tomorrowland-poster1-slideGeorge Clooney has generally shied away from blockbuster type movies, but he’s hoping he’ll have a huge hit with Tomorrowland: A World Beyond – as is Disney which has spent $150 million to make the movie.

Now a new trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

‘Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.’

The film is linked to the Disneyland world it’s named after, although in the film’s world, it was Walt Disney that took inspiration from another planet, rather than the other way around. The film is out in the UK on May 22nd. [Read more…]

Tomorrowland Trailer – Plus a poster for Disney’s George Clooney starring sci-fi

March 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tomorrowland-poster1Disney is betting big this summer of Tomorrowland (or as they now seem to be trying to call it, Tomorrow Land – A World Beyond) as they’re hoping that it won’t just make a load of money at the box office, but could become a franchise and even help spearhead the rejuvenation of the Tomorrowland section of the Disney theme parks.

And we have to admit, it does look kind of cool.

Now a full trailer has arrived so we can get a better look at the George Clooney starrer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland – A World Beyond,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

‘Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland – A World Beyond” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.

‘The film also stars Hugh Laurie as brilliant scientist David Nix, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Robinson.

“Tomorrowland – A World Beyond” is produced by Damon Lindelof, Brad Bird and Jeffrey Chernov and directed by Brad Bird, with John Walker, Brigham Taylor, Jeff Jensen and Bernard Bellew serving as executive producers. “Tomorrowland – A World Beyond” comes to UK cinemas May 22nd 2015.’ [Read more…]

Tomorrowland Super Bowl Spot – George Clooney is getting futuristic

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tomorrowland-teaser-posterWhile the summer movie season is always jam-packed with sequels and properties that are already well-known, there are always a couple of big movies that don’t have a built in audience trying to hit it big. Tomorrowland is one of those for 2015, as despite being named after a section of Disneyland, it’s a completely original story.

Indeed, many believe Disney’s hope is that if the film is successful it will help that section of the park and spark a complete revamp, rather than the other way around.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘‘From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.’

The film is due out May 2015. [Read more…]

Jack O’Connell & Julia Roberts Up To Join George Clooney In Money Monster

November 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jack-oconnell-shirtlessJodie Foster is stepping behind the camera again for Money Monster and she’s building a great cast to do it. George Clooney has been attached for a while, and now THR reports that Julia Roberts and Jack O’Connell are in talks to join him.

The film is about Lee Gates, a TV personality whose insider trading tips have made him the money guru of Wall Street. However when Kyle, a viewer who lost all of his family’s money on a bad tip from Lee, holds Lee hostage on air, ratings soar as the entire country tunes in to this media frenzy to find out just how much a man’s life is worth.

O’Connell will be Kyle, while Robert will be the show’s producer, who must help uncover the truth behind a tangle of big money lies in order to keep Gates alive.

The near real-time drama is set to shoot sometime next year.

Tommorowland Teaser Trailer – George Clooney gives us a glimpse of the future

October 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tomorrowland-teaser-posterDisney and director Brad Bird have been keeping their cards very close to their chest about Tomorrowland. However New York Comic Con is where they’re chosen to start the hype, keeping the intrigue by giving us a poster, pics and a teaser trailer that give us glimpses but don’t show us too much.

We also have an official plot synopsis, which reads: ‘From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.’

As you can see from the teaser, it looks like it could be pretty cool. Writer Damon Lindelof has compared the film to Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of a Third Kind, saying that it is all about discovery. If you’re wondering what this has to do with the part of Disneyland of the same name, the movie apparently suggests that it may have been a trip Walt Disney took to the enigmatic Tomorrowland that inspired his park.

The film is due out May 2015. Take a look at a couple of pics and the teaser trailer below. [Read more…]
