New Maze Runner: The Death Cure Trailer – Can Dylan O’Brien and co. beat WCKD?

December 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After being delayed by an accident which saw production put on hiatus for months after star Dylan O’Brien was severely injured after being hit by a car on set, Maze Runner: The Death Cure is now on its way. We’ll have to hope that after the issues it faced, it’s more like the fun and entertaining first film than the slightly tedious and trying-too-hard sequel.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the epic finale to the Maze Runner saga, Thomas leads his group of escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions the Gladers have been asking since they first arrived in the maze.’

Take a look at the new trailer below, along with some new character posters. The film arrives in cinemas on January 26th. [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 Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Trailer – There’s more trouble for Dylan O’Brien and co.

July 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maze-runner-scorch-trials-character-poster1-slideThe Maze Runner was a lot more fun than many expected, but anyone who’s seen the film will know that the sequel, The Scorch Trials is going to have to be a little bit different to the first movie.

Now a new trailer has arrived, which you can watch below, as well as a new set of character posters.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this next chapter of the epic “Maze Runner” saga, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as WCKD. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD’s vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all.’

The film is in cinemas September 10th, 2015. [Read more…]

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Trailer – Dylan O’Brien finds his troubles have only just begun

May 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maze-runner-scorch-trials-poster1Before The Maze Runner was released, many thought it was just a Hunger Games rip-off that was destined to fail. However it proved the naysayers wrong by becoming a hit and by being a pretty good movie that more than deserves a sequel.

Anyone who saw that first film will know that by necessity the follow-up will be rather different, and now we can take our first look at The Scorch Trials, which takes us out of the maze but continues many of the mysteries.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this next chapter of the epic “Maze Runner” saga, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as WCKD. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD’s vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all.’

It’ll be in UK cinemas on September 18th. [Read more…]

The Maze Runner (Blu-ray Review)

February 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Ki Hong Lee, Aml Ameen
Director: Wes Ball
Running Time: 108 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 9th 2015

After the success of The Hunger Games it’s not too surprising that Hollywood rushed to put similarly themed movies into production, such as Divergent and now The Maze Runner.  While nearly all the knock-offs of Twilight, and indeed Harry Potter, were pretty rubbish, The Maze Runner isn’t bad at all.

Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) wakes up in a metal cage that’s rising out of the ground. He has no idea who he is or how he got there but finds himself thrust into the strange world of The Glade, where every month for three years a new young man has arrived, also with no idea what they’re doing there. A society led by Gally (Will Poulter) has arisen, bound by rules supposed to keep them alive. [Read more…]

Kaya Scodelario Eyed For Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Female Lead

January 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kaya-scodelarioThe Pirates certainly have a formula – Jack Sparrow, young guy, young woman and a supernatural villain. It doesn’t look like they’ll be breaking away from that with the fifth film, as Johnny Depp will once again be Jack, Brenton Thwaites is the young guy, and Javier Bardem will be a bad guy ghost.

Now it’s time to find the young woman, with Deadline reporting that Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario is in early talks to take on the female lead and love interest for Thwaites British soldier.

Not too much is known about the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, other than that Bardem will be a murderous ghost called Captain Brand, who’s seeking revenge for his brother.

Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rø (Kon-Tiki) will directing from a script by Jeff Nathanson (Men in Black 3, Tower Heist). Filming starts next month in Australia, with a July 7th, 2017 release date already set.

The Maze Runner (Cinema Review)

October 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Director: Wes Ball
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: October 10th 2014 (UK)

With any teen action/fantasy film, there are always going to be comparisons to the very obvious Twilight, Divergent and the box office Phenomenon that is The Hunger Games – all film franchises adapted from highly acclaimed books aimed initially at the teen market.

Like many of these successful franchises, The Maze Runner is a trilogy also with prequel to follow, this one written by James Dashner.

The plot? Well to no real surprise, again we have a lead character thrown into a situation out of their control, where they have to battle against all odds for survival using sheer willpower and strength of character – also seen in past classics Lord Of the Flies and Battle Royale. [Read more…]

Dylan O’Brien And More In First Images From The Maze Runner

July 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maze-runner-pic1
Things are getting a bit literal in these first images from The Maze Runner, as they mainly seem designed to show that it’s set in a maze and involves some running. However they do give us an idea of young adult novel adaptation, which stars Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Patricia Clarkson.

Teen Wolf’s O’Brien plays Thomas, who wakes up in a strange place known as The Glade, with no recollection of how he got there. He must work together with a group of teenagers, who also don’t remember how they ended up in there, to figure a way out – every morning a door opens and they attempt to work out the riddle of the maze that lies beyond. Things get even more complex when the first girl (Kaye Scodelario) turns up in The Glade, with a message that could change everything.

A February 14th, 2014 release date has already set. (Images via MTV)

Now Is Good (DVD)

January 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dakota Fanning, Jeremy Irvine, Paddy Considine, Olivia Williams, Kaya Scodelario
Director: Ol Parker
Running Time: 103 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: January 21st 2013

Making a movie about someone who’s dying is a tricky business. On one level it’s a subject that involves inherent drama, but equally you don’t want to make something that sounds like such a downer no one will want to watch it. Likewise, you want people to get emotionally involved, but you don’t want it to be so emotionally manipulative and sentimental that people are nauseated rather than moved.

It’s a balance Now Is Good is constantly trying to work out, succeeding better at some times than others. [Read more…]
