Match (DVD Review)

October 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Patrick Stewart, Carla Gugino, Matthew Lillard
Director: Stephen Belber
Running Time: 92 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 12th 2015 (UK)

In 1995 Patrick Stewart played a flamboyantly gay character in the wonderful Jeffrey. Now he’s returned to the LGBT arena for Match. He plays aging Juilliard ballet teacher Tobi, who agrees to meet with a woman called Lisa (Carla Gugino) to help with her dissertation about dance in 1960s New York.

Lisa arrives at Tobi’s apartment with her cop husband, Mike (Matthew Lillard). The interview initially seems to go well, until Tobi begins to get suspicious that there is something else going on. It becomes clear that Lisa and Mike are there trying to figure out whether Tobi is Mike’s father, as while he’s lived most of his life as a gay man, in the past Tobi has slept with women, including Mike’s mother. If Tobi is Mike’s dad, it doesn’t appear it’s going to be an easy family reunion. [Read more…]

Patrick Stewart, Carla Gugino & Matthew Lillard Get A Match

January 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Patrick-StewartStephen Belber’s 2004 play, Match, earned plenty of praise on Broadway play Match, even if it ran for only a couple of months. Now he’s planning to direct a movie version and is lining up a great cast to help him. Deadline reports that Patrick Stewart, Carla Gugino and Matthew Lillard are now set to star.

According to the site, ‘Stewart plays a reclusive, eccentric Juilliard dance instructor and former choreographer, who is visited by a Seattle couple, (Gugino and Lillard) under the pretense of interviewing the dancer for her thesis on the New York dance movement in the 1960s. However, as the couple’s true intentions are revealed, he finds himself unable to dance around the impact of decisions he made long ago.’

Let’s hope the movie itself is a bit more exciting than that synopsis. Shooting is already underway in New York.

Matthew Lillard Set To Have Trouble With The Curve

January 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If all goes well for director Robert Lorenz, this time next year we’ll be wondering if Trouble With The Curve will win any Oscars. We’re a long way from that though, as they’ve got to make the movie first. Clint Eastwood has agreed to come out of acting retirement for the movie, and Amy Adams is attached to star too. Now TheWrap reports a couple more actors are close to signing.

Actor Matthew Lillard, who recently appeared in The Descendants, is in negotiations, as is newcomer Joe Massingill. The film follows Clint Eastwood’s character, a professional baseball scout who is losing his eyesight. He brings his daughter along on a scouting trip to Atlanta, so he can evaluate a young prospect. Matthew Lillard will play another scout in the drama.

Robert Lorenz, who’s been Eastwood’s assistant director and fellow producer for years, is directing Trouble with the Curve from a screenplay by Randy Brown. It’ll be his directorial debut.
