Cafe Society (DVD Review)

December 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Blake Lively, Jesse Eisenberg, Ken Stott, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell
Director: Woody Allen
Running Time: 94 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 26th 2016 (UK)

We’ve long reached the point when a new Woody Allen movie isn’t something to get excited about anymore, but it’s also certainly not something to dread either. This year he returns with Café Society, another Allen movie we can add to his recent list of his films that are decent enough, but nothing particularly special.

The director is not on-screen this time (although he does narrate), with Jesse Eisenberg stepping in to be Café Society’s 1930s Woody surrogate, a young Jewish New Yorker called Bobby, who’s a bit lost in life and so decides to head to LA. His Uncle Phil (Steve Carell) is a high-powered movie agent who Bobby hopes can help him get his start. Phil hires Bobby to do odd jobs, which brings him into the sphere of Vonnie (Kristen Stewart).

Now You See Me 2 (Blu-ray Review)

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzy Caplan, Woody Harrelson, Daniel Radcliffe
Director: Jon M. Chu
Running Time: 129 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: November 7th 2016 (UK)

2013’s Now You See Me proved a far bigger hit than most people expected, which has ensured we’ve now got a follow-up. After their Robin Hood exploits in the first movie, illusionists The Horsemen have been in hiding, waiting for ‘The Eye’ to tell them what they should do next. They also have a new member, with Lizzy Caplan’s Lula joining Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Jack (Dave Franco) and Merritt (Woody Harrelson), along with their leader, FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo).

They get an assignment to take down someone who’s destroying personal privacy, but their comeback goes wrong when they’re hacked, kidnapped and taken to Macau, China. There they meet Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe), who tells them that it was largely his money they stole in the first movie, and that they now have to do his bidding if they want to live.

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…]

Jesse Eisenberg Thinks Anti-Gay Pride Protesters Are ‘So F***ed Up’

June 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jesse-eisenberg-prideIt turns out Batman v Superman star Jesse Eisenberg has no time for anti-gay trolls. He’s currently in London starring in The Spoils, a play he also wrote that is currently playing at Trafalgar Studios. That theatre is just steps from Trafalgar Square, which was the focus of London Pride events on Saturday, with the result that on his way to work, Eisenberg came across a bunch of anti-gay, ‘Christian’ protesters.

The meeting was captured on camera, with Eisenberg watching as the protesters use tortuous logic to explain why God is a ‘God of love’, but also one who’s happy for them to spread their particular brand of hatred and judgement. One protester then asks Jesse, “Is your mind closed?”.

Eisenberg responds with the rather pithy, “You’re so fucked up.”

Watching the video you could almost feel sorry for the protesters, as despite having a nice, large area cordoned off for them to spout their nonsense, hardly anybody bothered to turn up. While proper Pride attendees got messages of support from the likes of David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn, the protesters just got a movie star swearing at them. Oh well.

Take a look at the encounter below. [Read more…]

Cafe Society Trailer – Jesse Eisenberg & Kristen Stewart star in Woody Allen’s latest

April 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cafe-society-slideEven when Woody Allen doesn’t star in his own movies, there tends to be a stand-in for him, and it has to be said, he’s picked a good on for Cafe Society in the form of Jesse Eisenberg. Re-teaming him with the often wooden Kristen Stewart may not have been as good an idea, but we will see.

Ahead of the movie’s debut at Cannes, the first trailer has now arrived.

Eisenberg plays Bobby, a young man who relocates to Hollywood in the hopes of pursuing a career in film. Once there, he falls in love and becomes captivated by the lush Hollywood scene. Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Parker Posey and Jeannie Berlin also star.

Interestingly, after holding out for years and suggesting he’s always stick with digital film, Cafe Society marks Woody’s first film shot on digital. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Now You See Me 2 Trailer – The Four Horsemen (& Daniel Radcliffe) are back

March 16, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

now-you-see-me-2-pic1-slideAfter the surprise success of Now You See Me, it didn’t take long for them to put a sequel into development. It has taken a little longer to arrive that originally planned, but now it’s on its way and the main trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE FOUR HORSEMEN return for their second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe. One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin-Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance. When the Horsemen are threatened into pulling off their most impossible heist yet, their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.

‘Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Lizzy Caplan, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Jay Chou, Daniel Radcliffe and Michael Caine. NOW YOU SEE ME 2 is released in UK cinemas on 4th July 2016.’ [Read more…]

batman-v-superman-character-poster5-slideA couple of months ago Henry Cavill’s Superman, Ben Affleck’s Batman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman got their own character posters for Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

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.’

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Trailer – Henry Cavill & Ben Affleck don’t see eye-to-eye

December 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-face-off-slideNext March Warner Bros./DC is making its massive bid for a superhero universe of its own with Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. However while much has been teased about Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck’s Man Of Steel and Caped Crusader not being fans of one another, but the new trailer also gives us a glimpse of Wonder Woman and the fact that she may be key to getting the bat and alien to work together.

It also features Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor and shows us that we haven’t completely seen the end of Michael Shannon’s Zod.

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.’

Now You See Me 2 Teaser Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe tries a different kind of magic

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

now-you-see-me-2-pic1-slideOh the hilarity, Daniel Radcliffe is rubbish at magic! Let’s not hope that’s the whole joke with Now You See Me 2 (I presume it’s not), but this teaser trailer seems to love the idea of it.

Here’s the sequel’s synopsis: ‘THE FOUR HORSEMEN [Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan] return for a second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe.

‘One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than WALTER MABRY [Daniel Radcliffe], a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet.

‘Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.’

The film hits cinemas next June.
