The Mule Trailer – Clint Eastwood is an octogenarian drug runner opposite Bradley Cooper

October 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Clint Eastwood hasn’t starred in a film since 2012’s Trouble With The Curve, and hasn’t appeared in a movie he’s also directed since 2008’s Gran Torino. However, now he’s back pulling double duty in The Mule.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Clint Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive.  Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel.  He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler.  But he isn’t the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.  And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl’s past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it’s uncertain if he’ll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel’s enforcers, catch up to him.’

The Mule is in UK Cinemas January 2019. Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Peña, Dianne Wiest and Andy Garcia also star. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

John Wick: Chapter 2 Super Bowl Spot – The action flick trolls Fifty Shades fans

February 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

You wouldn’t think those people who can’t wait for the release of Fifty Shades Darker would be the same ones hoping to watch John Wick: Chapter 2, but the action movie decided to have a bit of fun with them with its Super Bowl spot. The short ad initially looks like it will be for Fifty Shades, before revealing itself to be something else.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this next chapter following the 2014 hit, legendary hitman John Wick [Keanu Reeves] is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.’

Laurence Fishburne, Ruby Rose, John Leguizamo and Ian McShane also star, with Chad Stahelski directing. The film will be out in the US on Friday and arrives in the UK on February 17th. [Read more…]

John Wick: Chapter 2 Trailer Keanu Reeves is ready to kick ass once more!

December 19, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

John Wick got a lot of praise, not necessarily for its plot, but for its almost comic book style and for the quality of its action. Indeed, it reminded many of why pure action has always been so popular. Now it’s coming back for a sequel.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this next chapter following the 2014 hit, legendary hitman John Wick [Keanu Reeves] is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.’

Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, & Laurence Fishburne In Talks For Richard Linklater’s Next Film

August 31, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

TRUMBO-bryan-cranstonA full decade ago Richard Linklater revealed that he was working on an adaptation Darryl Ponicsan‘s Last Flag Flying, a sequel to The Last Detail, which was made into a film in 1973 by Hal Ashby. At the time he was trying to get Randy Quaid and Jack Nicholson to return, but that never happened.

However, now the Boyhood helmer is back on the project, which will now only be a ‘sort of’ sequel. THR reports that he’s starting to put the cast together, with Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, and Laurence Fishburne all in talks to star. The Last Detail, ‘centers on two Navy men (Nicholson, Young) who are ordered to bring a young offender (Quaid) to prison but decide to show him one last good time along the way. Last Flag reunites the reader with the trio, now living a post-9/11 American life: The former Naval petty officers come to the aid of their former prisoner, who needs their help to bring home the body of his son who was killed in Iraq. The request sends them back retracing their journey from Norfolk, Va., to Portsmouth, N.H.’

Linklater is hoping to start shooting the film in November.

Hannibal – Season 2 (Blu-ray Review)

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Laurence Fishburne, Caroline Dhavernas
Director: Various
Running Time: 559 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: September 22nd 2014 (UK)

Hannibal should have been cancelled after Season 1, but not because of its quality. It got extremely low ratings in the US (and Season 2 was just as bad), which normally means a swift demise. However thanks to the fact it’s co-production between several countries, and therefore costs NBC comparatively little to make, it’s lived on.

And that’s a damn good thing, as while it’s found it tough to find its audience on American network TV, it’s also one of the most critically lauded shows around. It’s often said that a TV show has a ‘cinematic style’, but normally it’s just hyperbole. In Hannibal’s case it’s really true. It’s visually meticulous – something you can really appreciate on Blu-ray – has a great cast and a storytelling style that doesn’t assume the audience is made up of morons. [Read more…]

The Signal Trailer – Brenton Thwaites may be in contact with alien life

March 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The sci-fi flick The Signal premiered at Sundance back in June, and while it often takes a long time to get movies from the festival onto cinemas screens, the film is already being lined up for a June 13th US release, and the trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Three college students on a road trip across the Southwest experience a detour; the tracking of a computer genius who has already hacked into MIT and exposed security faults. The trio find themselves drawn to an eerily isolated area when suddenly, everything goes dark. When one of the students, Nic, regains consciousness, he is in a waking nightmare… The Signal stars Brenton Thwaites, Olivia Cooke, Beau Knapp and Laurence Fishburne and is directed by William Eubank.’

It got some great buzz at Sundance so should be one to watch out for, even if the trailer is a bit mysterious. [Read more…]

Hannibal – Season 1 (Blu-ray)

September 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Hugh Dancy, Laurence Fishburne, Mads Mikkelsen, Caroline Dhavernas
Director: Various
Running Time: 550 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: September 2nd 2013

When it was first announced that a TV series was in development based around Hannibal Lecter and the other characters from Thomas Harris Red Dragon, there was a lot of harrumphing that it was a travesty and doomed to failure. However the show has surprised many by being very good. It also makes quite a lot of smart moves, not least that despite being named after Lecter, it doesn’t blow its load and become the cannibal freak show – indeed, it’s never even mentioned he is a cannibal, adding a frisson of excitement to the meals he likes to cook for people.
