Starring: Mark Wahlberg, JK Simmons, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, Michelle Monaghan
Director: Peter Berg

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.

Pixels (Blu-ray Review)

December 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage
Director: Chris Columbus
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 7th 2015 (UK)

Things have gone crazy with the world in Pixels. For a start we’re supposed to believe the American people have voted Kevin James to be their President, and also that if the POTUS is your bestie, you’re still going to have to work as a home entertainment installer. If that doesn’t suggest things are bad enough, the world is suddenly attacked by aliens whose army takes the form of 1980s 8-bit video game characters – from Centipede to Space Invaders – and starts destroying things by pixelating them.

The military can’t defeat them as they don’t know the rules of the games, so it’s down to Brenner (Adam Sandler), Ludlow (Josh Gad) and the arrogant and unstable Eddie (Peter Dinklage) – who were videogame champions when they were kids in the 80s – to take down the unusual invaders. [Read more…]

New Pixels Trailer – Adam Sandler & co. must save the world from videogames

May 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pixels-slide1Pixels is a bit of a wildcard for this summer season, hoping that audiences will be hungry for some effects driven comedy, despite a rather mixed record for that type of movie. It is based on a neat concept though and has a good cast.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades. Now, they’re going to have to do it for real. In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the video games as the models for their assaults — and now-U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede, and Space Invaders. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.’

The movie will be in UK cinemas. [Read more…]

Pixels Trailer – Adam Sandler takes on classic video characters

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pixels-poster3When you watch the trailer for Pixels it undoubtedly looks very weird, but it also looks like it could be a lot of fun.

President Will Cooper has to call on his childhood best friend, ‘80s video game champion Sam Brenner, now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders to defeat the aliens and save the planet.

Playing It Cool (VoD Review)

March 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Evans, Michelle Monaghan, Topher Grace, Aubrey Plaza, Luke Wilson
Director: Justin Reardon
Running Time: 94 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 2nd 2015

It’s not often that a movie with this much star power doesn’t get a cinema release in the UK, but Playing It Cool has gone straight to VoD, despite the presence of Chris Evans, Michelle Monaghan, Topher Grace, Aubrey Plaza, Luke Wilson, Patrick Warbuton, Matthew Morrison, Ioan Gruffudd, Ashley Tisdale, Anthony Mackie and Phillip Baker Hall, amongst others.

So is there something wrong with it? Well, there’s nothing really bad, but its problem is that it has a lot of ambition but doesn’t quite hit any of its marks. Even so it’s a surprise it hasn’t been in cinemas.

Chris Evans plays a screenwriter who has little interest in the romantic comedy script he’s been commissioned to write, largely because he’s not a big believer in love. With every relationship he’s had, he’s ended up telling the woman he doesn’t feel the same way she does, and he’s now essentially trying to avoid the whole thing. But then he meets Michelle Monaghan, and there’s definitely a connection. [Read more…]

The Best Of Me (DVD Review)

February 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: James Marsden, Michelle Monaghan, Luke Bracey, Liana Liberato, Gerald McRaney
Director: Michael Hoffman
Running Time: 118 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 9th 2015

Have you ever had the sensation where you weren’t sure whether to be emotionally moved or whether to vomit? Well, I do now after watching The Best of Me.

After surviving an oil rig disaster, Dawson (James Marsden) gets a call to say that an old friend of his has died and he needs to travel back to his hometown to help sort things out. When he arrives he discovers he’s not the only one who got a call, as so did Amanda (Michelle Monaghan), a woman who has a history with Dawson and isn’t initially pleased to see him. [Read more…]

Playing It Cool Trailer – Chris Evans tries to conquer Michelle Monaghan’s heart

September 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

playing-it-cool-trailer-picPreviously called A Many Splintered Thing but now given the more mainstream friendly title Playing It Cool, sees Chris Evans stepping away from shields and S.H.I.E.L.Ds, and heading into quirkily romantic mode.

It’s not just him though as the film has a great cast including Michelle Monaghan, Aubrey Plaza, Topher Grace, Luke Wilson, Ioan Gruffudd, Giovanni Ribisi, Ashley Tisdale, Philip Baker Hall, Giovanni Ribisi and Martin Starr. There’s also Anthony Mackie, so at least he’s got a little bit of Captain America familiarity around him.

Chris Evans is set to star as a man who meets an engaged woman (Michelle Monaghan), just as he is becoming disillusioned with the prospect of love. He starts a platonic relationship with the woman, in hopes of trying to win her over, despite her relationship.

Justin Reardon directs but unfortunately it’s still not clear when we’ll see the film, even though it was shot back in 2012. [Read more…]
