How To Train Your Dragon 2 (Blu-ray Review)

November 18, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Craig Ferguson
Director: Dean DeBlois
Running Time: 102 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: November 17th 2014 (UK)

Most of DreamWorks Animation’s output has been okay but nothing particularly special. They hit on something good with Shrek (and I personally love Prince Of Egypt), but with How To Train Your Dragon it seemed like they’d suddenly stepped up a gear, with great storytelling, a massive scale and genuine heart. However after that nearly everything they’ve made – from Turbo to Mr. Peabody & Sherman – has gone back to being rather rubbish. However with How To Train Your Dragon 2 they’ve made what is probably their best film yet.

It’s several years on from the first film and Hiccup is now older and has led a major change on the Viking island of Berk, where rather than fighting dragons they now befriend and ride them. However not every Viking is as enlightened as they are, after finding an ice cave that’s home to hundreds of new, wild dragons, Hiccup and his friends discover they’re under threat from a man called Drago, who’s determined to rule the dragons by force and if he does that he believes he can control the people too.

Scarlett Johansson & Jonah Hill May Hail Caesar! Alongside George Clooney

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Coen Brothers seems to want to fill every role in their upcoming Hail Caesar with a well-known face, as they’ve already got the likes of George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton, and now Variety reports that Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill are in talks to join them.

The 1950s set story is about a Hollywood fixer called Eddie Mannix, who works for the movie studios to help their major stars from avoiding scandals and to keep their dirty laundry under cover.

It’s now known who Jonah Hill will play, but Scarlett Johansson is playing an actress who becomes pregnant just before her latest film is about to start production. It works out as good timing for the actress, as she is pregnant herself, but as with several of the other roles in Hail Caesar!, it’s a relatively small part, so she’ll have plenty of time to complete it before she’s due to give birth.

Shooting on Hail Caesar! is set to start in a couple of months time.

Channing Tatum Shows Support For Jonah Hill After Gay Slur Incident

June 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jonah Hill had to go on a bit of an apology tour earlier this week after TMZ got hold of footage of him yelling, “Suck my dick, you faggot,” at a photographer. He was keen to stress that, “I’m happy to take the heat for using this disgusting word. What I won’t allow is for anyone—it would break my heart to think that anyone—especially with all the work that I’ve done and all the loved ones that I have—[would think] I would be against anyone for their sexuality.”

It was particularly bad timing for Hill, whose sequel 22 Jump Street hit UK cinemas this week and will be released in the US on Friday.

It was inevitable that at some point his co-star, Channing Tatum – himself known for his support of gay rights – would be asked about the controversy. Tatum decided to speak up during a join interview with Hill for the US show, Extra.

Jonah apologised again, saying, “It’s just about owning up to when you mess up in life, and hopefully some people can learn from mistakes that I’ve made in my life and that’s it.”

Tatum then jumped in, adding, “I’ll jump in and just say that I think most of the time when people have to go on and sort of apologize for something it might not come off all that well because it’s not actually like what they mean. I can honestly say that is not who he is. It came off well and he did it well because he really means it, that wasn’t who he was that day.”

Although many people seem prepared to forgive Hill for his indiscretion, many others feel that despite his series of apologies, he shouldn’t be let off the hook for using the gay slur in such an offensive manner. The detractors point out that if he’d used a racial slur, he’d almost certainly have faced much greater condemnation.

Take a look at the clip of Tatum supporting Jonah below.

Jonah Hill Apologises After Yelling Gay Slur At A Paparazzi

June 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jonah-hill Eyebrows were severely raise earlier today when it was reported that 22 Jump Street star Jonah Hill had been caught using a homophobic slur. In a video on TMZ a man is heard heckling Hill, including at one point saying, “I like the shorts though, bro. They are pretty sexy.” Towards the end of the vid Jonah can be seen yelling back, “Suck my dick, you faggot.”

Hill isn’t denying he said it. Indeed he’s owned up and has gone on Howard Stern to profess how sorry he is.

He said, “This is a heartbreaking situation for me. I’m upset… From the day I was born, and publicly, I’ve been a gay rights activist. This person had been following me around all day saying hurtful things. I played into exactly what he wanted and I said a disgusting word… It’s bullshit and I shouldn’t have said that.

“I’m happy to take the heat for using this disgusting word. What I won’t allow is for anyone—it would break my heart to think that anyone—especially with all the work that I’ve done and all the loved ones that I have—[would think] I would be against anyone for their sexuality.”

While some have taken Hill’s contrition at face value, others have felt there were shades of Alec Baldwin about yelling a homophobic slur and then claiming to be a ‘gay rights activist’. However it is true that he’s shown his support for gay rights in the past, such as supporting Human Rights Campaign’s Love Conquers Hate campaign.

TMZ has pointed out that while they have the video, the man featured is not one of their employees. He appears to be a freelancer trying to get an reaction out of a celeb to make money.

Listen to Hill’s apology below and decide whether you think he deserves forgiveness.

Jonah Hill Has To Kiss Channing Tatum’s Penis If Asked

May 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Have you ever wished you were Jonah Hill? Well now you have more reason to, as he lost a bet where his forfeit was that he promised to kiss Channing Tatum penis. Apparently that’s seen a something bad in the straight guy world (sometimes it’s difficult to understand those breeders).

Tatum revealed the details in an interview with GQ, which revolved around a bet where Hill told him, “I will kiss your tip! I will kiss the tip of your dick through your underwear if we make $35 million [on 21 Jump Street’s US opening weekend].”

“I haven’t made him do it yet,” Tatum says. “For obvious reasons. That’s a bad bet to lose—it’s not too good to win, either. But definitely the shame of it would be enjoyable. It’s my trump card, for sure. He tries not to bring it up at all costs. Unless he did something horrible to me, I don’t know if I could ever cash it in. It would change our relationship forever.”

He adds though, “Maybe on a drunk night when we’re all being crazy and hopefully, knock on wood, Jump Street 2 works out and people love it, maybe out of the elation of that event in our lives I might call in the bet. Or I might make him double or nothing.”

We’ll take that bet!

Bradley Cooper Signs Up For Arms and the Dudes, Reuniting With Todd Phillips

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

They’ve made three Hangover movies together but that’s not enough for Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips, as they’re getting back together for the comedy Arms and the Dudes, according to THR.

Indeed they like each other so much that this is the first project from a new Warner Bros-based production company they’ve recently set up together.

Phillips has been attached to the project since July 2011, but now Cooper has come on board to produce and may also star (although that’s not certain at the moment). The film is based on Guy Lawson’s Rolling Stone article, which chronicles the true story of 20-something stoners David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who managed to win a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America’s allies in Afghanistan.

The two made 85 deliveries of munitions to Afghanistan worth more than $66 million before their arms-dealing careers were cut short when federal agents raided their Miami Beach offices in Aug. 2007, culminating in 71 counts of fraud, due to the poor quality arms they delivered.

In 2009 the duo plead guilty to one count of conspiracy and in January Diveroli was sentenced to four years in prison. You can read the article here.

Jonah Hill has apparently been involved in table reads for the project, but it isn’t known if he will star. Todd Phillips is currently finishing off the screenplay, with the hope of shooting the movie later this year.

New 22 Jump Street Trailer – Don’t ask Channing Tatum to improvise!

May 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

21 Jump Street was a far bigger success than anyone had expected, so that it’s not much of a surprise that a sequel is coming – unsurprisingly called 22 Jump Street. Now we’ve got a new trailer that suggests it could be a lot of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership.

‘Now they don’t have to just crack the case – they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them.’

The film’s due out in June. [Read more…]

Watch The First Five Minutes Of How To Train Your Dragon 2

April 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a four year wait, How To Train Your Dragon 2 is nearly here. To help remind people why we should all be looking forward to returning to the world of Hiccup and Toothless, the first five minutes of the movie have been released.

It’s slightly surprising we’ve got it so early, as the film doesn’t hit US cinemas until June 13th and will be out in the UK July 4th – although it does a good job of suggesting this is a movie that’ll be worth the 3D admission.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set for release in June 2014, The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds.

‘When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.’ [Read more…]
