Wonder (Blu-ray Review) – Important life lessons for young and old

March 24, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jacob Tremblay, Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Izabela Vidovic, Mandy Patinkin
Director: Stephen Chbosky
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: March 16th 2018 (UK)

God bless young Jacob Tremblay. The Room and Book Of Henry star is impossibly cute, something that comes through even under the large amounts of makeup he has to wear for Wonder. Although it might seem a little creepy to be talking about a young boy’s cuteness, in this case it’s vital to the film, as Tremblay’s talents are so central to the movie. The makeup is potentially a real barrier for an actor though, and a tough one for somebody so young to overcome. Jacob does it though with aplomb.

Tremblay plays August ‘Auggie’ Pullman, who was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, which has left him with significant facial deformities. He’s been home-schooled by his mother (Julia Roberts), but will be going to mainstream school for the first time when he joins the fifth grade. Auggie is a shy and sensitive child, very aware of how others treat him because he looks different. [Read more…]

Father Figures Trailer – Owen Wilson & Ed Helms want to find their real dad

September 30, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

First it was called Bastards, then it got retitled to the softer Who’s Your Daddy?, and now they’ve altered things again, to Father Figures. But despite the numerous name changes, the movie itself remains the same.

Synopsis: ‘Owen Wilson (“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Zoolander 2”) and Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films, “We’re the Millers”) star in the Alcon Entertainment comedy “Father Figures,” marking the directorial debut of veteran cinematographer Lawrence Sher (“The Hangover” films).

Wilson and Helms are Kyle and Peter Reynolds, brothers whose eccentric mother raised them to believe their father had died when they were young. When they discover this to be a lie, they set out together to find their real father, and end up learning more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know.

The film also stars J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), comedian Katt Williams, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-actor Terry Bradshaw, Ving Rhames (the “Mission Impossible” films), Harry Shearer (“The Simpsons”), and Oscar nominee June Squibb (“Nebraska”), with Oscar winner Christopher Walken (“The Deer Hunter”), and Oscar nominee Glenn Close (“Albert Nobbs,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) as the twins’ mother.’

Father figures is due out February 2018. [Read more…]

May 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Here’s the synopsis: ‘We’re thrilled to be sharing with you the emotional first trailer and new poster for WONDER, a new film from Lionsgate which is based on the New York Times bestseller by R. J. Palacio about a boy born to standout.

WONDER tells the incredibly inspiring and moving story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time. Starring Room’s Jacob Tremblay, as August Pullman, alongside Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Mandy Patinkin and Daveed Diggs, the film comes to UK cinemas in December 2017.

‘Helms and Wilson play Peter and Kyle Reynolds, two brothers whose eccentric mother (Glenn Close) raised them to believe their father had died when they were young. When they discover this to be a lie, they set out to find their real father, learning more about their mother than they probably ever wanted to know.

‘Oscar nominee Glenn Close (“Albert Nobbs,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) stars as the twins’ mother, Helen, and Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-actor Terry Bradshaw (“Failure to Launch”) join the cast as potential father figures. Rounding out the cast are comedian Katt Williams, Oscar nominee June Squibb (“Nebraska”), Kate Aselton (TV’s “The League”), and Ving Rhames (the “Mission Impossible” films).

New Masterminds Trailer – Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson & Jason Sudeikis go on a heist

July 31, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

masterminds-slideThings recently got a bit messy for Masterminds. The film should have come out last year, but when its production company/studio Relativity went into bankruptcy it got delayed. Then, when Relativity came out of bankruptcy, Netflix decided that due to their deal with the studio, they were going to start streaming the movie before it went to cinemas. That led to a court case where it looked like things were gonna get messy. However, that’s now been sorted out and a new trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis for the inspired by a true story movie: ‘Zach Galifianakis (THE HANGOVER) leads a sterling comedy cast along with Kristen Wiig (BRIDESMAIDS), Owen Wilson (ZOOLANDER) and Jason Sudeikis (HORRIBLE BOSSES) in this hilarious true story in which a half-brained night guard at an armoured car company manages to pull off one of the biggest bank heists in US history.’

The movie is out in the US on September 20th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

New Zoolander 2 Trailer – Ben Stiller must save the world from a celebrity killer

February 3, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zoolander-2-teaser-slideIn a week and a half we’ll finally get to see the long awaited Zoolander 2, which has been in the works for years but is only just now making it to cinemas. Will it have been worth the wait? A new trailer is here which hopes to convince us it is.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson back in male model mode, with the duo beginning to realise that they aren’t as young as they once were – something that is pretty much fatal in their profession – and also that the world of fashion has changed from the one they once knew. That includes Benedict Cumberbatch as a model who goes beyond androgynous.

There is a problem though, someone is out killing celebrities including Demi Lovato, Usher, Justin Bieber, Lenny Kravitz, and Miley Cyrus, all of whom have died with one of Derek Zoolander’s signature looks on their face.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and expect the movie in cinemas on February 12th, 2016.
