Mission: Impossible – Fallout (Cinema Review)

July 18, 2018 By George Elcombe Leave a Comment

Starring: Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Running Time: 147 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: July 25th 2018 (UK)

It really doesn’t seem that long since I saw the last Mission: Impossible film (Rogue Nation, 2015), and I praised it for its ability to utilise the tried and tested formula of its predecessors, whilst being a fresh and exhilarating entry to the franchise. That’s something this series continues to do effortlessly with Fallout, which is without doubt one of the best entries. You can’t say that for many other franchises six movies in.

Without going too much into the plot, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team have to retrieve three plutonium cores before they are turned into nuclear bombs, as well as foil the plot of a religious terrorist group called the Apostles, who want to reshape the world. On this mission Hunt is chaperoned by CIA agent Walker (Henry Cavill), and we have the welcome return of regulars Benji (Simon Pegg), Luther (Ving Rhames), Ilsa (Rebeccan Fergurson), alongside some new and memorable additions.

New Mission: Impossible Fallout Trailer – Henry Cavill’s gonna keep Tom Cruise in line

May 19, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few years ago Tom Cruise was all set to leave the Mission: Impossible franchise, but then it became just about the only thing that guaranteed him a hit, so he stuck around. Now the latest instalment is on its way – Fallout.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm.’

The movie is due out in July. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: See How Cute Henry Cavill Looked During His Superman Screentest

April 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s easy to forget that only four years ago, Henry Cavill was just a guy who’d played supporting roles in The Tudors and Immortals, and whose first major lead role – opposite Bruce Willis in the underwhelming The Cold Light of Day – was yet to be released. However, that was the time when he was first brought in to test for the role of Superman in Man Of Steel.

Director Zack Snyder has released a pic over on Vero of Cavill during his screentest, where he wears a more Christopher Reeve looking super-suit than then one he finally ended up donning (indeed, it was a replica of Reeves’ costume). He certainly looks cute and fresh-faced. It’s also true that once he got the role, he must have spent an awful lot of time in the gym, and he’s not the super-buff figure he became for the final movie.

Snyder comments, “If you can put on that suit and pull it off that’s an awesome achievement… He walked out, and no one laughed. Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.'”

Henry Cavill Signs Up For Mission: Impossible 6

March 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mission: Impossible 6 just got a little less impossible. After all, if you’ve got a man who can fly, stop speeding bullets and have x-ray vision on your team, it makes things easier. That said, although Variety reports that Henry Cavill has signed on to star, he probably won’t be playing Superman.

Instead, he will apparently be ‘would play some sort of a right hand to the head of Cruise’s unit’. Alec Baldwin had the head role in the last film, but its not been announced whether he will return. It also leaves open the possibility that Cavill may actually turn out to be a bad guy.

Vanessa Kirby was recently announced as one of Tom Cruise’s co-stars in the movie, with the likes of Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, and Jeremy Renner also expected to return in some capacity. The movie is due to start shooting soon, for release July 2018.

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice – Ultimate Edition (Blu-ray Review)

August 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams
Director: Zack Snyder
Running Time: 182 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: August 1st 2016 (UK)

As they say, ‘The higher you climb, the further there is to fall’. That’s a fair description of Batman v Superman, a film that you certainly can’t fault for its ambition, but which can’t reach the heights it strives for despite its best efforts. After an exceedingly mixed reaction at cinemas, the film comes to Blu-ray in an Ultimate Edition form, which adds in an extra 30 minutes of footage and adds back in some of the violence that US censors wouldn’t permit to get it a PG-13 certificate.

Some hoped this new version would rectify all the flaws of the theatrical cut. It doesn’t do that, but it does help a little, particularly with some of the subplots where the theatrical version had bits of them, but where they either petered out or didn’t make a whole lot of sense. It does add a couple of extra problems though. [Read more…]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Cinema Review)

March 25, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jeremy Irons
Director: Zack Snyder
Running Time: 151 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: March 25th 2016

This film has been a long time coming and there are some great articles online chronicling the various attempts to bring Batman vs Superman and the Justice League to the silver screen. As you can tell from the subtitle, this film serves as an introduction to the Justice League films coming in 2017 and 2019, and the continuation of the DCCU (Detective Comics Cinematic Universe) which began with Man of Steel in 2013.

But in a film that is two and a half hours long I was concerned that they would rush the introduction to a wealth of new characters and backstories when it should just focus on the leads. Too many cooks and all.

DC and Warner Brothers are reaching for the financial success that Marvel has had with their cinematic universe (MCU), but the tone of their films set the studios apart. Marvel films are more light-hearted whereas DC’s recent films have mainly been darker (excluding the Schumacher Batman movies). Despite the darker tone I enjoyed Man of Steel up until the finale, where it seemed like the production had $100 million left and spent it needlessly destroying Metropolis. But it didn’t feel like a Superman movie and lacked the charm of Richard Donner’s 1978 version. [Read more…]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Final Trailer – What is the Caped Crusader’s problem?

February 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-face-off-slideIt appears that Warner Bros. has decided that to really rev us up for next month’s release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we ought to know a bit more about Ben Affleck’s take on the Caped Crusader. As a result the new trailer focuses on him, while not forgetting that the Man Of Steel is pretty important to.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’

The movie is due out next month. Take a look at the new trailer below.

Henry Cavill & Zac Efron Want Us To Know They Look Sexy While Working Out

February 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zac-efron-henry-cavill-workoutDid you ever doubt that Henry Cavill & Zac Efron were very sexy while working up a sweat in the gym? Well, in case you weren’t sure, they film stars have both recently shared pics of them keeping fit, to show their progress for their upcoming movies.

Efron is due to start shooting the Baywatch movie soon, which will inevitably involve a huge amount of shirtlessness. However from the image Zac has shared, it would appear that it’s having freakishly enormous biceps that’s the star’s main worry. Someone needs to tell him if he’s not careful,  his arms won’t fit through the holes in his tops any longer.

Cavill meanwhile is back in the gym at the start of his workout regime for his next appearance as Superman. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is due out next month, but with Justice League due to start shooting this year, he’s not getting any time off from working out. And we have to appreciate the fact that he took his shirt off so we could enjoy the furriness.

Take a look at the pics the duo shared below, and decide which you prefer.

Batman, Superman & Wonder Woman Get Dawn Of Justice Character Posters

December 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-character-postersIt feels like the summer blockbuster season is starting earlier and earlier each year. A couple of years ago a massive movie like Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice wouldn’t have arrived until May at the earliest, but instead it’s arriving in March.

That means that once Star Wars is out of the way, we’re likely to get saturation hype for the film, as Warner Bros. has a lot riding on it. This isn’t just the first time the Man Of Steel and the Caped Crusader have been in a live-action movie together, it’s going to kick-off an entire interconnected DC Comics universe, and introduce us to the likes of Aquaman, The Flash and Wonder Woman, leading up to a two part Justice League extravaganza.

Wonder Woman is expected to play a major role in Dawn Of Justice, and to underline that, Gal Gadot’r lasso wielding superhero has now got a character poster, alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman. You can see them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’ [Read more…]
