Inherent Vice (Cinema Review)

January 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Owen Wilson, Josh Brolin, Katherine Waterston, Martin Short
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Running Time: 149 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: January 30th 2015

If you demand coherent plots and comprehensible dialogue from your movies, look away now. There is not one scene of Anderson’s sprawling behemoth of a movie that makes any sense whatsoever. It’s a stoned, fug-smoked, labyrinth of a film noir that takes pleasure in its baffling structure and dares you to go along with it. Frankly after an hour it’s too much effort, and the pleasure switches in watching great actors revelling in show-off roles soaked in dreamy Californian sunshine. [Read more…]

New Inherent Vice Trailer – Fresh look at Joaquin Phoenix in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film

December 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

inherent-vice-joaquin-phoenixDirected by Oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Oscar nominees Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin and Owen Wilson; Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Benicio Del Toro; Katherine Waterston, Martin Short, Jena Malone and Joanna Newsom, Inherent Vice is released in the UK on January 30th 2015.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When private eye Doc Sportello’s (Joaquin Phoenix)ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony bin…well, easy for her to say.

‘It’s the tail end of the psychedelic `60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that “love” is another of those words going around at the moment, like “trip” or “groovy,” that’s being way too overused—except this one usually leads to trouble.

‘With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists… Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp—all Thomas Pynchon.

‘“Inherent Vice,” is the seventh feature from Paul Thomas Anderson and the first ever film adaptation of a Thomas Pynchon novel.’ [Read more…]

Inherent-Vice-Teaser-posterPaul Thomas Anderson returns this winter with Inherent Vice, his take on Thomas Pynchon’s novel. We’ve had a couple of images already, but now we can get a far better feel for the movie with the teaser trailer and a debut poster.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When private eye Doc Sportello’s (Joaquin Phoenix) ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony bin…well, easy for her to say.

Jason Sudeikis May Go On A Heist With Zach Galifianakis & Owen Wilson

June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jason-SudeikisIt’s got a great cast even if it doesn’t have a name. The untitled film previously called Loomis Fargo already has Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig attached to star, and now they may be joined by Jason Sudeikis, who is in talks to star.

The movie is loosely based on a true story about an armoured truck driver (Galifianakis) who is convinced to help participate in a $17 million robbery. However his partners are quick to turn on him once the job is done and leave him stranded in Mexico while they go off to live the high life. Then it’s time to settle the score.

Wilson is set to play the leader of the half-baked criminal, while Wiig will be Galifianakis’ love interest. It’s not clear who Sudeikis will be.

Assuming he signs on the dotted line, Jason will be on the film’s set when it starts shooting in July, with Jared Hess directing. (Source: Variety)

Are You Here Trailer – Owen Wilson & Zach Galifianakis want an inheritance

June 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


With Mad Men coming to an end, creator Matt Weiner is eying the big screen. His feature debut is out this summer, Are We Here, and now the trailer is here.

Weiner has lined up Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, and Amy Poehler to star in the film. There have been some troubles for the movie though, as the reviews from TIFF were pretty awful. Apparently it’s been significantly re-edited since then, but it’s not known whether that has helped sort out the problems.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When his off-the-grid best buddy Ben Baker inherits his estranged father’s fortune, womanizing local weatherman Steve Dallas joins forces with him to battle the legal challenge brought by Ben’s formidable sister.’ [Read more…]

Free Birds (Blu-ray)

March 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler, George Takei, Colm Meaney
Director: Jimmy Hayward
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: March 24th 2014

There’s always an issue with movies about things such as American Football and Thanksgiving. While you can see why they’d be popular in the US, they don’t always travel well, as most other countries don’t have those traditions. That’s particularly true with family films, as many youngsters won’t even know what Thanksgiving is.

Free Birds seems to have realised this though, so that while non-US youngsters won’t get the nuance of the founding fathers and why turkeys are the preferred meal, it does at least make sure it sets out the basics so they won’t be completely lost. [Read more…]

New The Grand Budapest Hotel Trailer – Meet the cast of Wes Anderson’s star-studded movie

December 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


While Wes Anderson’s is a bit of a love him or be bored by him director, there’s no doubt a lot of people adore his quirky, eccentric movies – and that includes a lot of famous names, who are happy to show up to appear in his flicks. Indeed, he’s almost got his own repertory company with names such as Owen Wilson, Bill Murray and Ed Norton, who are all back for The Grand Budapest Hotel.

They’re not the only great names, as Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Saoirse Ronan, Lea Seydoux, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson also star,

Now a new trailer has arrived, giving us a look at that cast, along with a poster that does the same.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune — all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.’

It’s due out next spring. [Read more…]

Zach Galifianakis Is Going On A Heist With Owen Wilson

December 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zach-galifianakisFor a while Owen Wilson and Jim Carrey had been planning to team up for Loomis Fargo, but now the film has lost its title and one of the stars, as Carrey has been forced out due to scheduling problems. However his replacement is already being lined up as TheWrap says Zach Galifianakis is close to signing on.

Loosely based on a true story, the movie follows an armoured truck driver (Galifianakis) who is convinced to help participate in a $17 million robbery, but his partners are quick to turn on him once the job is done and leave him stranded in Mexico while they go off to live the high life. Then it’s time to settle the score.

Jared Hess is set to direct the action comedy, working from a script originated by Emily Spivey and more recently re-written by Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer. Hopefully it’ll also get a new title soon.
