Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Trailer – Chris Pratt returns to save dinos from a doomed island

By Leave a Comment

I feel that after watching this first trailer for the follow-up to the mega-hit Jurassic World, you may be asking yourself, ‘WTF have I just seen?’ It’s kind of like an explosion of over-the-top-ness. No longer just content with killer dinos, they’ve gone and thrown in an exploding volcano!

It’s pretty spectacular, but I have a horrible feeling this is going to be Lost World all over again – it looks good but quickly becomes too daft to suspend disbelief (and that’s just the trailer). At least it’s good to see Jeff Goldblum back as Ian Malcolm.

Marshall Trailer – Chadwick Boseman plays the first African-American US Supreme Court justice

By Leave a Comment

Chadwick Boseman continues his run a playing African-American luminaries as after being Jackie Robinson in 42 and James Brown in Get On Up, he is Thurgood Marshall in this autumn’s Marshall. Although that name probably isn’t that well known outside the US, he’s extremely well-known in America, not least for his involvement in the landmark school desegregation case, Brown v. Board of Education, as well as becoming the first African-American US Supreme Court justice.

However, the movie, which also stars Sterling K. Brown, Kate Hudson, Josh Gad, Dan Stevens and James Cromwell, focuses on an earlier moment in Marshall’s life.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘MARSHALL, based on the early career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, follows the young lawyer (Chadwick Boseman) to conservative Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur (Sterling K. Brown) against his wealthy white socialite employer (Kate Hudson) in a sexual assault and attempted murder trial. In need of a high-profile victory but muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall is partnered with young Jewish lawyer Samuel Friedman (Josh Gad) who has never tried a case. They struggle against a hostile storm of fear and prejudice, driven to discover the truth in a sensationalized trial that helped lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement.’

The Queen (Blu-ray)

While the world of film loves to make royal biopics, nearly all of them are historic, with even something like The King’s Speech causing some to wonder whether its subject matter is too close to the present to make it suitable for a movie (seriously, some people complained about that). It’s very unusual therefore for a mainstream royal biopic to take on the current royal family, especially concerning events that are in the recent past. The Queen does though and does it very well, winning Helen Mirren an Oscar in the process. Now the film is making its first appearance on Blu-ray, just in time for the monarch’s Diamond Jubilee.

Following the death of Princess Diana, the Queen (Mirren) and royal family attempt to deal with what they believe should be a private matter between themselves and the Spencer family. However as attacks from the media and public begin to grow, and with new PM Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) advising her, the Monarch slowly comes to realise that her apparent inaction is becoming a threat to her position.

The Artist (Cinema)

By Leave a Comment

I don’t know why people are saying The Artist should win at the Oscars. It’s obvious director Michel Hazanavicius doesn’t know how to make a movie. For a start, he made the film in black and white. Doesn’t he know the world got coloured in during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s? Plus, he’s so incompetent he forgot to record the dialogue, so he just plays some music and occasionally has a caption card come up on screen, as if that’s a sensible way of telling a story.

He doesn’t even manage to make it in the right aspect ratio, as it’s the same width-to-length as old style-TVs. Hell, it’s not even in 3D! Hazanavicius needs to go back to square one, watch some Michael Bay movies and learn how to make real, proper films with explosions and stuff. This is the 21st Century! [Read more…]
