Serenity Trailer – Matthew McConaughey & Anne Hathaway get back together for a thriller

June 12, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sadly this has nothing to do with Joss Whedon’s sci-fi series Firefly or its follow-up movie, also called Serenity. Instead it’s a stylised, sexy thriller which reunites Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway for the first time since Interstellar. Perhaps the best reason to be excited though is that it’s from writer and director Steven Knight (Locke, Peaky Blinders, Eastern Promises).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The mysterious past of a fishing boat captain comes back to haunt him, when his ex-wife tracks him down with a desperate plea for help, ensnaring his life in a new reality that may not be all that it seems.’

The movie is due out is the autumn. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

June 5, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matthew McConaughey stars in the movie, which tells the true story of someone who became an FBI informant and key player in the local war on drugs, all before he was 16-years old. The first trailer for the movie has now arrived, which you can watch below.

The Dark Tower (Blu-ray Review) – The Stephen King fantasy saga finally makes it to the screen

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Jackie Earle Haley, Katheryn Winnick
Director: Nikolaj Arcel
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 11th 2017 (UK)

It’s a movie 10-years in the making (at least this attempt took 10 year), but when it arrived in cinemas The Dark Tower was met with negative reviews and muted box office. It currently has a pretty abysmal 16% on RottenTomatoes and just 5.9/10 from viewers on IMDB. So is it really that bad? No, it’s not, but its easy to understand why it’s had such bad reactions.

The film focuses on teenager Jake (Tom Taylor), who’s been having strange visions of a giant tower at the centre of the universe and the ‘Man In Black’ (Matthew McConaughey), who’s determined to destroy it. While those around him are beginning to think Jake is becoming unhinged, the teen discovers what he’s been seeing is real. [Read more…]

Gold (Blu-ray Review) – Matthew McConaughey goes off in search of the precious metal

June 5, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Edgar Ramirez, Bryce Dallas Howard, Corey Stoll, Toby Kebbell
Director: Stephen Gaghan
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 5th 2017 (UK)

Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey) comes from a prospecting family going back generations. However, by the 1980s looking for minerals has changed dramatically from the Gold Rush days, where it’s now controlled by big businesses, engineering, science and where billions of dollars are wagered on a claim paying off.

Due to a downturn in the economy, Kenny’s family business is in the gutter. He thinks he’s found his way back with a bit of a Hail Mary pass – a largely dismissed theory that there are huge reserves of gold in Indonesia. He teams up with the man who came up with the idea, Michael Acosta (Edgar Ramirez), and raises a small amount of funding – far less than they need – to try to get things started. [Read more…]

After years in development, the trailer for the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower has finally arrived, along with a couple of rather cool character posters. You can take a look at them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘There are other worlds than these.

Kubo and the Two Strings (Blu-ray Review) – Into Laika’s incredible stop-motion Samurai world

January 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Charlize Theron, Art Parkinson, Matthew McConaughey, George Takei, Ralph Fiennes
Director: Travis Knight
Running Time: 101 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: January 16th 2017 (UK)

Kubo is a young boy, living secluded with his mother inside a mountain. Each day he goes to the nearby village and tells stories, using his magic to enact them to the villagers with moving origami figures. He tells the story of his heroic father, who was killed trying to save Kubo from his evil grandfather, the Moon King. Kubo lost an eye in the attack, but he and his mother managed to escape.

Kubo’s mother has told him there is one big rule – he must be home before darkness falls. However, while trying to honour his dead father the sun goes down and he comes under attack from his aunts. His mother uses the last magic to get Kubo to safety, telling him that his only way to protect himself is to find three magical pieces of armour that will make him nearly invulnerable. With his mother gone, Kubo’s only protection comes from Monkey, a charm that his mother brought to life as part of her final act, as well as Beetle, a man-size warrior bug they come across, who’s had his memory erased.

Gold Red Band Trailer – Matthew McConaughey searches for riches in the Indonesian jungle

January 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matthew McConaughey has certainly come a long way from being the king of awful rom-coms. Indeed, he hasn’t made one for years. Next up he’s got Gold, which was originally being lined up as an awards contender, but following middling reviews it doesn’t look like it’s going to be winning much.

While it got a small Oscar-qualifying release in the US at Christmas, it won’t reach most cinemas over there until the end of the month, while it’ll arrive in the UK on February 3rd.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘GOLD is the epic tale of one man’s pursuit of the American dream, to discover gold. Starring Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey as Kenny Wells, a prospector desperate for a lucky break, he teams up with a similarly eager geologist and sets off on an amazing journey to find gold in the uncharted jungle of Indonesia. Getting the gold was hard, but keeping it would be even harder, sparking an adventure through the most powerful boardrooms of Wall Street. The film is inspired by a true story.’

Take a look at the new Red Band trailer below. [Read more…]

Matthew McConnaughey May Be White Boy Rick

November 19, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matthew-McConaugheyMatthew McConaughey will fairly soon be seen as the Man In Black in the long-gestating adaption of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, but he’s also planning something a little different. Variety reports he’s in talks to start in White Boy Rick.

Logan Miller and Noah Miller wrote the script, which landed on the Black List of the best unproduced screenplays last year. The movie is based on the true story ‘of Richard Wershe Jr., the only successful white boy gangster/drug kingpin in an African American dominated 1980’s Detroit ghetto. Wershe received a mandatory life sentence after being caught with 17 pounds of cocaine in 1987. He was 17 at the time.’

Obviously McConnaughey would be Wershe, instead he’d play the young man’s salesman father. Yann Demange is set to direct, with plans to starting filming the movie next March in Michigan and Ohio.
