Moonlight Takes Best Drama Golden Globe, While La La Land Sets A Record

January 9, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The members of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association sure like La La Land, with the movie taking a record seven Golden Globes, more than any other single movie has ever taken. It did so well that the only categories it was eligible for that it didn’t pick up, were the the Supporting Actress and Actor categories – and seeing as the movie is so strongly built around Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, that’s not too much of a surprise.

However, it wasn’t just La La Land at the Globes, as gay-themed drama Moonlight also had some extremely good news, as it took the Best Picture – Drama gong. It means that while La La Land is now the frontrunner for the Best Picture Oscar, Moonlight could cause an upset, having not just taken the Best Drama Globe, but also having won numerous critics association awards. It’s certainly an impressive achievement for a low budget movie that many had thought would go the route of Tangerine – scoring enthusiastic reviews and a lot of love, but getting overlooked by major awards bodies.

The Golden Globe awards were also marked by a lot of concern about the rise of Donald Trump, with Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Limited Series or TV Movie winner Hugh Laurie quipping, “Thank you, first of all, to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this amazing honour. I suppose it’s made more amazing by the fact that I’ll be able to say that I won this at the last ever Golden Globes. I don’t mean to be gloomy. It’s just that it has the words ‘Hollywood,’ ‘foreign,’ and ‘press’ in the title.”

Meryl Streep also gave a pretty epic speech decrying Trump and calling on the arts and the press to hold power to account. You can take a look at it below.

One other thing many couldn’t help noticing was a same sex smooch at the ceremony! After Ryan Gosling beat Ryan Reynolds to the Best Actor – Musical or Comedy gong, Andrew Garfield was spotted planting a big smooch on Reynolds’ lips as Gosling went up for his award. You can take a look at that below too, along with the full list of winners. [Read more…]

Hugh Laurie & Ralph Fiennes Set To Join Will Ferrell In Holmes and Watson

January 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in August it was revealed that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson. Now they have some company, as Ralph Fiennes and Hugh Laurie have joined the movie, according to THR.

Ferrell is set to be Sherlock Holmes in this comedy take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective, with Reilly as Watson. It’s not known who Laurie and Fiennes will be, although they will apparently ‘slip on the shoes of two beloved characters from the Holmes oeuvre’. That likely means one of them will be Moriarty, with the other either as Holmes’ brother Mycroft, or Inspector Lestrade.

Etan Cohen is writing and directing the movie, which is already shooting in London. The movie is due out in 2018.

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)).

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…]

Judy Greer Joins George Clooney In Tomorrowland

August 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Judy-GreerBrad Bird’s upcoming movie for Disney, Tomorrowland, starts shooting next week, but they’re still finalising the cast, with Deadline reporting that Judy Greer has signed up to star alongside George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson, and Raffey Cassidy in the movie.

The movie is about a young woman who approaches a cranky inventor named Frank (George Clooney) to unravel the mystery behind Tomorrowland, a world that exists in a parallel dimension to ours. Hugh Laurie has been cast as the villain, with Raffey Cassidy playing a child robot who joins Casey and Frank on their journey. Unfortunately there absolutely no news on how Greer will fit into the movie.

Damon Lindelof (Lost, Prometheus) came up with the script, which is said to be similar in tone to Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and a December 12th, 2014 release has already been set.

Britt Robertson Confirmed To Star Opposite George Clooney In Disney’s Tomorrowland

July 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

britt-robertsonAfter the failure of John Carter and The Lone Ranger, you might think Disney would be shying away from projects that aren’t either animated, sequels or made by Marvel. However they’ve been putting together Tomorrowland, and recently it was rumoured they were eyeing Britt Robertson or Naomi Scott for the female lead role.

Now it’s been confirmed that Under The Dome and Secret Circle star Robertson has won the role and signed onto the movie. Disney released a brief casting announcement saying she’s going to be in the film, along with the info that, ‘In the film, a high school girl with an unconventional understanding of technology is launched on a journey to reclaim her future.’

Previous details have suggested that her character approaches a cranky inventor named Frank (George Clooney) to unravel the mystery behind Tomorrowland, a world that exists in a parallel dimension to ours. Hugh Laurie has been cast as the villain, with Raffey Cassidy playing a child robot who joins Casey and Frank on their journey.

Brad Bird is directing Tomorrowland from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof and Jeff Jensen. A December 12, 2014 release date has already been set.

Raffey Cassidy Takes Young Lead Opposite George Clooney In Tomorrowland

April 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

raffey-cassidyBrad Bird’s Tomorrowland is coming together, with George Clooney and Hugh Laurie already set to star, and now THR has revealed another lead role, which has gone to young Raffey Cassidy, who was seen last years as the young Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman.

The previously rumoured plot description suggested the film is about a teenage girl, a genius middle-aged man and a pre-pubescent girl robot who attempt to get to and unravel what happened to Tomorrowland, which exists in an alternative dimension, in order to save Earth.

THR confirms that Cassidy will play ‘a young girl robot who has been around for decades. Also a key factor: she knows several fighting styles. She has a previous relationship with Clooney’s character, a bitter inventor.’

Hugh Laurie is set to play the villain, who seemingly once threw Clooney’s character out of Tomorrowland. There’s still a lot of secrecy around the project, so expect it to remain fairly mysterious for a while yet.

Director: Sarah Smith
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: November 19th 2012

How does Santa deliver presents to all the children of the world in one night?

However he might also have a lot of technology on his side, which is what Arthur Christmas suggests. [Read more…]

House – Season 8 (DVD)

October 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps, Jesse Spencer, Robert Sean Leonard, Peter Jacobson
Director: Various
Running Time: 945 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 22nd 2012

I’m still not sure how I’m going to cope – no more House! After eight years the show came to an end on television earlier this year, completing the remarkable run of one of the best TV shows of the last decade. I’ll have to console myself with the DVD box sets, the final one of which has now arrived.

The six disc set features the sardonic Dr. House’s last 22 episodes, and if you watched Season 7, you’ll know he starts the run in a bit of bother. Having taken not getting over a break-up to the extreme and crashing a car into his ex’s house, the doc begins Season 8 locked up in prison. Even there he can’t stop himself from playing mind games or trying to get to the bottom of a medical mystery that presents itself. Soon former employee and now head of Princeton Plainsboro hospital, Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps), helps House get out of the clink and return to work, even if House does have to wear an ankle monitor.
