mother! (Blu-ray Review) – Is the Jennifer Lawrence movie audaciously impressive or completely crazy?

January 21, 2018 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Domhnall Gleeson
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Running Time: 121 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: January 22nd 2018 (UK)

There’s rarely been as big a divide between critics and audiences as there was with mother!. While it’s got a decent 69% from critics on RottenTomatoes, on its US release it got a rare ‘F’ CinemaScore, based on audience reaction. Only 19 films have ever been given such a low rating. Watching the film you can understand why, because audience members who typically just watch typical Hollywood fare almost certainly had no idea what they were getting into, and probably ended up very confused about what they’d just seen.

This is not your typical multiplex movie, but it was given a wide release and marketing that suggested it was a relatively mainstream-style horror flick. What it really is though is an auteur-fuelled, rather experimental arthouse movie, filled with allegory and surreal, Bunuel-esque touches, but done on a big budget and starring the biggest actress in the world right now.

mother! Trailer – Darren Aronofsky heads into horror territory with Jennifer Lawrence

August 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Darren Aronofsky (Noah, Black Swan)​ likes to make unusual films, and it seems his latest, mother! will follow that trend. This time around it looks like he’s going to be trying to scare us with something intense and a little bit weird. Jennifer Lawrence certainly doesn’t look like she’s having a good time.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. From filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), mother! stars Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer in this riveting psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.’

The movie is due in cinemas on September 15th. Take a look at the teaser below. [Read more…]

mother! Tease – Jennifer Lawrence stars in Darren Aronofsky’s horror/thriller

July 31, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Darren Aronofsky (Noah, Black Swan)​ likes to make unusual films, and it seems his latest, mother! will follow that trend. The beginning of the first teaser for the movie gives off Aronofsky’s usual slightly otherworldly tone, before suggest there’s also gonna be a lot of horror/thriller thrown into the mix.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. From filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), mother! stars Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer in this riveting psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.’

While we haven’t had a full trailer yet, we don’t have long to wait, as the movie is due in cinemas on September 15th. Take a look at the teaser below. [Read more…]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (Cinema Review) – Jack Sparrow is back!

May 22, 2017 By BigGayPictureShow Leave a Comment

Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem, Kaya Scodelario, Brenton Thwaites
Director: Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg
Running Time: 129 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: May 25th 2017 (UK)

To be honest I enjoy sequels and franchises as long as they keep up the standard and improve upon previous entries, which sadly often isn’t the case. I have reviewed countless sequels over the years and with this review I don’t want to regurgitate what I have previously written about franchises, and I will try to keep this to a minimum with this review as I don’t want to go over old ground; but rather tread new waters (pun fully intended).

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a pleasant surprise to a lot of people when it came out in 2003. Many asked how could a film based on an old amusement park ride have such an effect on audiences around the world, and the answer is because it was fun. Cutthroat Island (1995) was a well-documented bomb at the box office and it was a risky move for Disney to release the first Pirates film, but it paid off both financially and critically.

New Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge Trailer – Javier Bardem really doesn’t like Jack Sparrow

March 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I’m still not sure why the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie is called Dead Men Tell No Tales in the US, but in the UK it’s Salazar’s Revenge. Now a new trailer has arrived, which concentrates on why Javier Bardem’s Salazar hates Jack Sparrow so much and is determined to get his revenge..

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.’

It’ll be in cinemas next May. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge Trailer – Jack Sparrow is a wanted man

March 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I’m still not sure why the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie is called Dead Men Tell No Tales in the US, but in the UK it’s Salazar’s Revenge. Now a new trailer has arrived, which tells us more about the plot than anything we’ve seen before, and exactly why Javier Bardem’s Salazar is after revenge – which involves a very youthful Jack Sparrow.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge Extended Super Bowl Spot – Back on the high seas with Jack Sparrow

February 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Disney hasn’t hyped the return of Pirates of the Caribbean with Salazar’s Revenge (Dead Men Tell No Tales in the US) as much as we might have expected. However, they did give the movie a Super Bowl spot, with an extended version released online, which you can take a look at below.

It also confirms the return of Orlando Bloom, who looks like he’s been having a few problems since we last saw him in the franchise.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.’

It’ll be in cinemas in May. [Read more…]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge Teaser – Captain Sparrow & co. are back

October 3, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pirates-of-the-caribbean-5-teaser-slideEver since it was officially announced, the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie has been titled Dead Men Tell No Tales. It’s still called that in the US, but for some reason it’s been retitled in the UK, as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge. I’m not quite sure how that’s any better.

The news of the new title accompanies the first teaser for the movie, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him.

Javier Bardem Will Take On Frankenstein In Universal’s Movie Monster Universe

July 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

javier-bardemUniversal’s hopes of building an Avengers style universe around classic monsters is moving apace, with a reboot of The Mummy currently shooting with Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp signed up to be the Invisible Man and Russell Crowe on board to be Dr. Jeykll/Mr. Hyde. Now the films have found their Frankenstein, as Variety report Javier Bardem is in talks for the role.

The monster universe will be set in the modern day, with Universal planning a new take on the classic Bride Of Frankenstein. However, it appears likely that Bardem will appear as the character in another movie first, but it’s not known which one. He may have been cast now so he can cameo in The Mummy, but it’s believed Invisible Man will also shoot this year.

The studio is certainly bringing a lot of star power to its planned franchise, going against the grain for superhero movies, which have tended to cast cheaper up-and-comers, or well-known names going cheap (and remember, that’s exactly what Robert Downey Jr. was before Iron Man). It’s presumably due to the fact movie monster don’t have the same sort of in-built fanbase and interest that superheroes tend to have, and so they feel adding some big names will help. It’s yet to be seen whether it will work out.
