Manchester By The Sea (Blu-ray Review) – Inside broken lives doing their best in the Oscar-winning film

May 14, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Casey Affleck, Kyle Chandler, Lucas Hedges, Michelle Williams, Tate Donovan
Director: Kenneth Lonergan
Running Time: 137 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 15th 2017 (UK)

Despite allegations of past sexual assault swirling around Casey Affleck, he picked up the Best Actor Oscar for Manchester By The Sea, with Kenneth Lonergan also winning an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Judging purely from what’s on the screen, you can see why they won, as Affleck puts in an extremely good performance, working from a nicely nuanced script which prizes emotion but tries to avoid cliché.

Affleck is Lee Chandler, who’s working as a janitor in Boston. He drinks too much, barely socialises and gets in trouble for being rude to tenants. He gets a call to say that his brother has died and so he heads to his hometown of Manchester, Massachusetts. Lee also knows he’ll have to help look after his teenage nephew, Patrick (Lucas Hedges) but isn’t prepared for that fact his brother has named him as Patrick’s guardian, something he doesn’t feel vaguely able to handle.

Kyle Chandler Up For Godzilla: King of the Monsters

February 23, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s taken a while, but things are now gearing up on the sequel to 2014’s Godzilla. The first cast member was revealed a couple of weeks ago when Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown was announced as part of the cast.

Now Variety reports that Kyle Chandler has joined her. Chandler is usually a good choice, having been great in everything from Friday Night Lights and Super 8 to Wolf Of Wall Street and the recent Oscar nominee, Manchester By The Sea.

It also shouldn’t be too much of a shock that he will be playing Brown’s father. The exact plot is being kept under wraps, but as the title suggest, while Godzilla will be the king, the sequel will be introducing us to various other monsters, such as Mothra and and Rodan.

Michael Dougherty is directing and also co-wrote the script for the movie with Zach Shields. It’s expected to shoot this year for release in March 2019. Then in 2020, we’re getting a real monster mash-up, with Godzilla Vs. Kong.

Manchester By The Sea Trailer – Casey Affleck becomes his nephew’s guardian in the acclaimed film

August 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Manchester By The Sea got rave reviews when it debuted at Sundance, with some people immediately putting it in the Oscars race. Indeed, distributors Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions must agree, as they’ve given is an awards friendly November US release slot.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the death of his older brother Joe (Kyle Chandler), Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is shocked to learn that Joe has made him sole guardian of his nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Taking leave of his job, Lee reluctantly returns to Manchester-by-the-Sea to care for Patrick, a spirited 15-year-old, and is forced to deal with a past that separated him from his wife Randi (Michelle Williams) and the community where he was born and raised. Bonded by the man who held their family together, Lee and Patrick struggle to adjust to a world without him. In his first film since 2011’s acclaimed Margaret, Lonergan once again proves himself a powerful and visionary storyteller as he seamlessly weaves past and present together, crafting a tension-filled tale that deftly eschews sentimentality in favor of penetrating emotional insight and deeply affecting human relationships.’

A trailer has now arrived. Take a look at it below. [Read more…]

Carol (Blu-ray Review)

March 20, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Kyle Chandler, Sarah Paulson
Director: Todd Haynes
Running Time: 118 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 21st 2016 (UK)

Todd Haynes 2002 movies Far From Heaven was a very deliberate homage to the ‘women’s films’ of the 1950s made by the likes of Douglas Sirk. As with his HBO mini-series Mildred Pierce, Carol is set in decades past, but eschews the high gloss of Far From Heaven, instead being more interested in looking at how society was through the eyes of society today, but done in a style as if you really were there.

The film follows Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett), whose marriage is in the process of imploding when she meets charming shop assistant Therese (Rooney Mara) in a Department Store. They both sense a connection which slowly builds as they meet for lunch and then Carol invites Therese to spend the day with her in her country house. [Read more…]

Carol (Cinema Review)

November 24, 2015 By Mike Martin Leave a Comment

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Kyle Chandler
Director: Todd Haynes
Running Time: 118 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 27th 2015 (UK)

If Far From Heaven was Todd Haynes’ love letter to director Douglas Sirk, this is his tribute to painter Edward Hopper. Whatever the flaws of his film – more of which later – it is probably the best-looking movie of 2015. Meticulously reimagining the New York of the 1950s it has shot after shot of its protagonists exquisitely framed, gorgeously coloured and superbly dressed.

Several moments are worth pausing and gazing at for hours, especially one amazing shot of a grey, drab New York street lifted by the bright red coat and hat of the ethereal Cate Blanchett striding along. The interiors are gloomy, the exteriors washed out and tired-looking. Hopper would be impressed.

It received a standing ovation at Cannes and has been held back to coincide with Oscars season, during which it will probably clean up. However… [Read more…]
