Mortdecai (Blu-ray Review)

June 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Ewan McGregor
Director: David Koepp
Running Time: 107 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: June 8th 2015 (UK)

While some films get bad reviews, few movies with big name actors get excoriated like Mortdecai did on its cinema release. The film was greeted with some exceptionally scathing notices, but while you can understand some of the points those reviewers were making, the fact is it’s not half as bad as they made out.

Johnny Depp is Lord Charles Mortdecai, a British art dealer with an aristocratic background and penchant for shady shenanigans. He and his wife, Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow), owe £8 million in back taxes and don’t have much time to raise it, although a possible lifeline arrives following the death of an art dealer and the discovery that a legendary painting by Goya may have been stolen from her.

November 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mortdecai-poster1-slideJohnny Depp hasn’t given up on looking eccentric in his movies, as with Mortdecai he gets a little crazy-eyed and dons as much moustache as he can handle.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Juggling some angry Russians, the British Mi5, his impossibly leggy wife and an international terrorist, debonair art dealer and part time rogue Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) must traverse the globe armed only with his good looks and special charm in a race to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.

‘MORTDECAI is directed by David Koepp and stars Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn, Jeff Goldblum and Paul Bettany.

‘MORTDECAI is released in UK cinemas on January 30th 2015.’

Mortdecai Trailer – Johnny Depp turns art-dealer and part time rogue

August 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mortdecai-logoLast time Johnny Depp went on a global in The Tourist, it didn’t work out too well. He’ll be hoping for better from Mortdecai, based on Kyril Bonfiglioli’s 1970s book, The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery.

Now the first trailer has arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Juggling some angry Russians, the British Mi5, his impossibly leggy wife and an international terrorist, debonair art dealer and part time rogue Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) must traverse the globe armed only with his good looks and special charm in a race to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.

Iron Man 3 (Blu-ray)

September 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Don Cheadle, Robert Downey Jr.
Director: Shane Black
Running Time: 130 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: September 9th 2013

Iron Man 3 presented an interesting challenge to Marvel, as it’s the completion of the Iron Man trilogy – with no stand-alone adventures for Downey Jr’s metal man likely to follow – but also the follow-up to The Avengers and a prequel to his appearance in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. As such the movie could have ended up a complete mess, unsure what it was meant to be doing. However it actually handles the challenge fairly well, sewing up themes from the earlier Iron Man movies, while having Tony Stark rocked by the events of the Battle Of New York, which have started causing him to have panic attacks.

Ewan McGregor & Gwyneth Paltrow In Talks To Join Johnny Depp In Mortdecai

July 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ewan-mcgregorA few weeks ago, Johnny Depp signed up to star in Mortdecai, filling the gap in his schedule left when he stepped away from the Whitey Bulger biopic he’d been involved with. Now he may have some company in the new movie, as Variety reports that Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor are in talks to join Depp in David Koepp’s film.

Koepp is currently rewriting the original script by Eric Aronson, which in turn is based on Kyril Bonfiglioli’s 1970s book, The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery.

Depp will play Charles Mortdecai, a debonair art dealer and part-time rogue who travels the globe armed only with his good looks and special charm in a race to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold. He also has to juggle angry Russians, the British Mi5, his impossibly leggy wife and an international terrorist.

There’s no news on exactly who Paltrow or McGregor might play, although if we had to bet we’d say Paltrow will be the wife, while McGregor will be turning Mi5.

The film will shoot once Depp has completed Transcendence and his role as the big bad wolf in the musical Into The Woods.

Thanks For Sharing Trailer – Mark Ruffalo & Gwyneth Paltrow deal with sex addiction

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


If you thought we’d dealt with sex addiction on screen with Choke and Shame, you were wrong, as it’s now getting a slightly comic treatment from The Kids Are All Right director Stuart Blumberg.

Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow, Josh Gad, Tim Robbins, Joely Richardson, Carol Caine, Patrick Fugit and Alecia Moore (aka Pink) star in the movie, which is about group of characters who are all suffering from sex addiction. Meeting regularly for support sessions, each of them struggles with their own personal demons as it effects their personal lives, including their families, friends, and significant others.

The film debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, but it won’t arrive in US cinemas until September 20th. No UK date is currently set.

Iron Man 3 Featurette – Lots of fresh footage and take a look at the new characters

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s just a couple of weeks until Iron Man 3 arrives in UK cinemas on April 25th and May 3rd in the US, so to get un excited, a new featurette has been released, featuring plenty of fresh footage and an introduction to some of the new characters, played by the likes of Ben Kingsley, Rebecca Hall and Guy Pearce.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle.

‘With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?’

Iron Man 3 Composite IMAX Poster Released

March 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-imax-posterThere have been an awful lot of Iron Man 3 posters released, and now we’ve got another one, which is essentially a composite of the previously released character posters. It’s pretty cool, even if Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin does look like he’s randomly floating in the background.

And while we’re talking Iron Man 3, Joss Whedon has seen the film and commented that it’s made writing The Avengers 2 a bit more daunting for him. Marvel had honcho Kevin Feige told 2 Kids And A Coupon that, “We have what I think is the biggest, you know, most action packed finale we’ve had. I showed the film to Joss Whedon, who is our writer-director of Avengers, is currently working on Avengers 2, and he saw the finale of this and he goes, now what am I supposed to do now?  What am I going to do in Avengers 2?”

Whether that’s just because the ending is so huge or if it effects Tony Stark’s story in a way that will impact on the next Avengers movie isn’t known. Iron Man 3 hits UK cinemas on April 26th and the US on May 3rd.

Iron Man 3 Fan Edition Poster Has Tony Stark Getting Close To Pepper Potts

March 7, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Iron-Man-3-Fan-Edition-posterIron Man 3 is certainly going for the prize of 2013 release with the best posters. In the last few weeks we’ve had numerous characters posters, and now a new ‘fan edition’ poster has debuted, featuring Tony Stark cuddling up to a rather concerned look Pepper Potts.

There’s also a fresh international version of the trailer, with a bit of new footage, which you can see below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

‘Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, “Iron Man 3” is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce and Shane Black and is based on Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968.’

New Iron Man 3 Trailer Arrives – A bit of a darker tone for Tony Stark

March 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s not long at all until Iron Man 3 hits UK cinemas on April 25th and the US on May 3rd, so it’s time to kick the hype up a gear with an ace new trailer. It suggests a more serious tone than the first two films, with Tony Stark dropping his jokey, cocksure attitude as The Mandaring emerges and threatens to rip his life apart.

Luckily though he’s going to spice things up with a whole team of iron people!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds.
