X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer – James McAvoy and co. go up against what may be the ultimate mutant

December 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-apocalypse-trailer-slideAfter the huge success of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the mutant are returning with X-Men: Apocalypse, which may not have the actors from the original trilogy, but brings back the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, alongside plenty of newbies, many of them playing younger versions of characters we’ve seen before.

And with Days Of Future Past resetting the timeline, it also allows for reinvented versions of characters.

Here’s the synopsis:’Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.’

Bryan Singer directs once more more, with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Olivia Munn, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Lucas Till, Josh Helman, Lana Condor and Ben Hardy starring.

It’ll be in cinemas next May.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (Cinema Review)

November 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman
Director: Francis Lawrence
Running Time: 127 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: November 19th 2015 (UK)

Here we have the end of a franchise that initially I didn’t think I would like, but which I have been impressed with over the years. Yet another teen book sensation transitioned onto the big screen, and on the surface The Hunger Games (2012) seemed like a tween rip-off of the excellent Battle Royal (2000). However, it was so much more than what I was expecting and its sequel Catching Fire (2013) is one of those rare sequels that is better than its predecessor.

As Hollywood trends seem fit, the third and final book, Mockingjay, was split into two movies a la Harry Potter, Divergent and Twilight. But this trend generates more money for the studio and the audience gets more time with the characters and story that they love. Everyone (in theory) wins, although with Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014) the audience was left hungry for more (pun intended). [Read more…]

Joy Trailer – Jennifer Lawrence invents the miracle mop for director David O. Russell

October 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

joy-teaser-posterJennifer Lawrence reunites with director David O. Russell (American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook) with a new film – all about mops. Well, sort of, as it’s about the inventor of the Miracle Mop, although as the trailer shows, it’s perhaps more mob movie (with a dash of comedy) than flowery biopic.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.’

Joy is in UK cinemas 1st January 2016. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

mockingjay-part-2-poster2-slideOn November 19th we’ll get to see how The Hunger Games series comes to an end with Mockingjay – Part 2. It’s certainly been quite a ride to get here, with some really good movies which have become box office titans.

Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale [Liam Hemsworth], Finnick [Sam Claflin], and Peeta [Josh Hutcherson] – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her.

‘The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.’

Jennifer Lawrence & Francis Lawrence May Reunite For Red Sparrow

September 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jennifer-lawrenceIt seems Jennifer Lawrence must have liked working with director Francis Lawrence on The Hunger Games sequels, as Deadline reports the helmer has signed on direct Red Sparrow, with Lawrence interested enough in starring that it’s now being developed with her in mind.

She’s hasn’t officially signed on but it’s a distinct possibility.

The film is an adaptation of Jason Matthews’ novel, which is set in modern-day Russia. The story follows Dominika Egorova, a spy forced into becoming a ‘sparrow’, who is trained to seduce rival agents. Her first assignment is a CIA operative tasked with handling Russian intelligence, but they soon fall for one another, threatening both their careers and the identities of moles in both the American and Russian governments.

The likes of David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky have previously flirted with directing, but now it’s Lawrence who’s at the helm.

First Look At Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult & More In X-Men Apocalypse

July 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-apocalypse-ew-cover-slideThe mutants are back next year in X-Men Apocalypse, and after adventures set in the 1960s and 1970s, it’s time for Magneto, Professor X, Raven, Beast and co. to enter the 1980s.

EW has offered the first look at the movie with a cover and several images, including our first look at the villain, the titular Apocalypse, an ancient mutant with extraordinary powers that dwarf those of most others. While he was glimpsed at the end of Days Of Future Past looking largely like a normal human being, it appears several thousand years have changed him.

Along with a new villain, we get younger versions of characters we’ve seen before, such as Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), and Angel (Ben Hardy).

They all end up on different sides of a battle where the ancient mutant decides the world has gone to hell since his time and that things would be better if he were in charge, and so he recruits the likes of Magneto to help him.

The movie is due out May 27th, 2016. [Read more…]
