Mile 22 Trailer – Mark Wahlberg reteams with Pete Berg for an action thriller

May 15, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mark Wahlberg and director Pete Berg sure like one another. After Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon and Patriot’s Day, they’ve got back together for Mile 22, and once more it’s taking them into heroic action territory.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘In this heart-racing action thriller, a CIA agent stationed in Indonesia is tasked with transporting an informant whose identity has been discovered, from the center of the city to an awaiting getaway plane at an airport 22 miles away. While en route, they must battle corrupt police, criminal overlords and heavily-armed locals, all hell-bent on taking them out before they reach their plane.’

The trailer for the film has now arrived, which you can take a look at below. The film will be in UK cinemas in August. [Read more…]

Transformers: The Last Knight (Blu-ray Review) – Robots and explosions, what did you expect?

October 21, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Laura Haddock, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel
Director: Michael Bay
Running Time: 149 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 30th 2017 (UK BD/DVD), Out Now (VoD)

People often complain that the big Hollywood movies have no story. If nothing else the Transformers movies have attempted to do something about that. Rather than having no story, they have all the stories, non-stop, simultaneously and accompanied by never-ending explosions. It’s never mattered whether it made any sense or if it’s managed to contradict itself in the same sentence, as long as something is going on that appears to be a plotline.

That continues with The Last Knight, which is moderately more coherent than Dark Of The Moon, and slightly less pointless than Age Of Extinction – and yes, that is damning it with faint praise, but it does mean those who’ve liked what’s gone before, will probably enjoy this one. [Read more…]

September 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When most people get a little older they start to slow down and contemplate retirement. However, others start working even harder. One of those people is 79-year-old Ridley Scott. Not content with having directed a bid budget sci-fi movie this year (Alien: Covenant) has decided to squeeze in a drama as well – All The Money In The World.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail (Michelle Williams) to convince his billionaire grandfather (Kevin Spacey) to pay the ransom. When Getty Sr. refuses, Gail attempts to sway him as her son’s captors become increasingly volatile and brutal. With her son’s life in the balance, Gail and Getty’s advisor (Mark Wahlberg) become unlikely allies in the race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money.’

Take a look at the trailer below. The film is out in early December in the US will arrive in the UK a month later. [Read more…]

Patriot’s Day (Blu-ray Review) – A taut look at the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings

June 25, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, JK Simmons, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, Michelle Monaghan
Director: Peter Berg
Running Time: 133 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 26th 2017 (UK)

It’s April 15, 2013 and Police Sgt Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg) is preparing to provide security at the annual Boston Marathon. Along with various other people, he’s hoping for a great, celebratory day. However, that is ripped apart when twin explosion go off near the marathon finishing line, killing and maiming those who were there to cheer the runners as they completed the course. Tommy immediately puts his training into action to help those affected, even though he and the other people around don’t know whether there are any other bombs timed to go off.

Patriot’s Day then charts the days after the attack, when the FBI comes in to work with the police to find out who the bombers are, combing CCTV footage and following leads. Then there are the terrorists themselves, the Tsarnaev brothers, who haven’t finished their rampage, and become increasingly dangerous as the net closes in. [Read more…]

Daddy’s Home 2 Trailer – Mel Gibson & John Lithgow join Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg

June 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the latest example of Hollywood’s love of making sequels to films nobody particularly wants, comes Daddy’s Home 2 – the follow-up to the 2015 movie that most people had already forgotten existed. To help ensure people turn up for this new film, Wahlberg and Ferrell will be joined by John Lithgow and Hollywood’s favourite racist, Mel Gibson.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Daddy’s Home 2, father and stepfather, Dusty (Mark Wahlberg) and Brad (Will Ferrell) have joined forces to provide their kids with the perfect Christmas. Their newfound partnership is put to the test when Dusty’s old-school, macho Dad (Mel Gibson) and Brad’s ultra-affectionate and emotional Dad (John Lithgow) arrive just in time to throw the holiday into complete chaos.’

The film should be out towards the end of the year. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Transformers: The Last Knight Trailer – Michael Bay is blowing up the bots again

April 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you were wondering whether, for his last Transformers movie, Michael Bay would make a small, arthouse-style drama, this trailer is here to says that no, you were a moron to think that. Instead – and despite Bay promising changes – it’s going to be as big, bombastic and literally explosive as previous instalments.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.’

The movie will be in cinemas in June. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Transformers: The Last Knight Extended Super Bowl Spot – And Michael Bay says again he’s leaving the franchise

February 5, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Michael Bay said he was only directing three Transformers films, but then he agreed to make a fourth. That though, he said, would definitely be the last, before he signed on to help a fifth one. However, this time he seems to really mean it, as alongside The Last Knight’s Super Bowl spot, Bay has released a statement underlining that this will be his final time as director (although he does leave the door open).

He also seems keen to suggest this film will be a bit of a departure from what’s gone before, although I’m sure that doesn’t mean he will have given up on exploding everything in site. Take a look at Bay’s statement below and the new Super Bowl spot underneath that.

I’ve been living in this franchise for over 10 years now. For Transformers: The Last Knight, we put together a writers’ room designed to greatly expand our mythology, integrating our films in a whole new way. Every movie will interlink.

It was a huge task to expand mythology from the beginning of the world throughout history. We had a great team of writers: Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind); Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (Iron Man); Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down); Zak Penn (Ready Player One); Lindsey Beer (Barbie); Geneva RobertsonDworet (Tomb Raider); Christina Hodson (Bumblebee); Steven DeKnight (Daredevil, Smallville); Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Lost); and Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari (Ant-Man).

Through the summer of 2015, they worked in a huge space on the Paramount lot, surrounded by over 10,000 concept images from the franchise’s history: the movies, cartoons, and comic books. They had a life-size Bumblebee, a Megatron head, and many other props staring them down. We pulled from everything. It was a fan’s dream room.

We brought in Transformers historians from Hasbro to educate them on where Transformers has been – so that they could figure out where it can go. I can safely say that there’s never been a Transformers film with the huge visual scope and expansive mythology as this movie, The Last Knight.

It’s bittersweet for me. With every Transformers film, I’ve said it would be my last. I see the 120 million fans around the world who see these movies, the huge theme park lines to the ride and the amazing Make- A-Wish kids who visit my sets, and it somehow keeps drawing me back. I love doing these movies. This film was especially fun to shoot. But, this time might really be it. So I’m blowing this one out.

It’s a final chapter and a new beginning. Here’s the writers’ log line:

The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference.

In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours. [Read more…]

Deepwater Horizon (Blu-ray Review) – Mark Wahlberg faces a real-life maritime disaster

January 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Dylan O'Brien, John Malkovich, Kate Hudson, Kurt Russell, Mark Wahlberg
Director: Peter Berg
Running Time: 107 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: January 30th 2017 (UK)

In 2010 the worst maritime oil spill ever took place in the Gulf Of Mexico, after an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform. At the time, the media was so fixated on the oil that it was easy to overlook the fact that the initial disaster on Deepwater Horizon was truly cataclysmic and resulted in the deaths of 11 people.

Peter Berg’s movie sets out to redress the balance somewhat, depicting what happened on the platform and the horrific events the survivors endured. [Read more…]

Transformers: The Last Knight Featurette – First look at Michael Bay’s latest dose of robots & explosions

November 16, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

transformers-last-knight-featuretteIs there really much point us writing anything about a new Transformers movie? By now everyone who even vaguely cares knows exactly what they’re going to get. That said, they have promised this one will be a little different, with redesigned Autobot and Decepticons, but with Michael Bay still at the helm, it’s still gonna be pretty much what we expected.

He have now got our first look at the movie though, with Paramount releasing a behind the scenes featurette to talk about the film’s partnership with IMAX.

The film has a mix of old and new, with veterans Mark Wahlbers, Stanley Tucci, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro and Tyrese Gibson being joined by the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Laura Haddock. Not much is known about the plot, other than it somehow brings together the robots with King Arthur, Nazis and new dinobots, with Optimus Prime needing to find an artifact on Earth that may be able to bring Cybertron back to life.

Patriots Day Trailer – Mark Wahlberg & Peter Berg take on the Boston Marathon Bombing

October 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

patriots-day-slideMark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg have only just been in cinemas with a film based around modern day disaster, with Deepwater Horizon. However, they’ll soon be back with another, Patriots Day, which has just dropped its first trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An account of the Boston Marathon bombing, PATRIOTS DAY is the powerful story of a community’s courage in the face of terror.

‘In the aftermath of an unspeakable attack, Police Sergeant Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg) joins courageous survivors, first responders and investigators in a race against the clock to hunt down the bombers before they strike again. Weaving together the stories of Special Agent Richard DesLauriers (Kevin Bacon), Police Commissioner Ed Davis (John Goodman), Sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese (J.K. Simmons) and nurse Carol Saunders (Michelle Monaghan) this visceral and unflinching chronicle captures the suspense of one of the most sophisticated manhunts in law enforcement history and celebrates the strength of the people of Boston.

The film will be getting an Oscar qualifying release in the US in December, before rolling out wider and internationally in January. [Read more…]
