Under the Silver Lake Trailer – Andrew Garfield gets into a neo-noir mystery

By Leave a Comment

The supernatural horror It Follows got writer/director David Robert Mitchell plenty of attention, and also ensured his next movie was going to be bigger budget with a better known cast. That follow-up is Under The Silver Lake, which stars Andrew Garfield, Riley Keough and Topher Grace.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From the dazzling imagination that brought you It Follows comes a delirious neonoir fever dream about one man’s search for the truth behind the mysterious crimes, murders and disappearances in his East L.A. neighborhood. Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33-year-old who discovers a mysterious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment’s swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam embarks on a surreal quest across Los Angeles to decode the secret behind her disappearance, leading him into the murkiest depths of mystery, scandal and conspiracy in the City of Angels.’

The film will be out in the US in June, but no UK date is currently set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Logan Lucky (Blu-ray Review) – Steven Soderbergh takes Channing Tatum on a blue collar heist

By Leave a Comment

Director Steven Soderbergh hasn’t done very well at retiring. After a career that’s ranged from Sex Lies & Videotape, Erin Brockovich and Traffic to the Ocean’s 11 trilogy, Out Of Sight and Magic Mike, he announced that his last feature film as a director would be 2013’s Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra. However, just four years later he’s back with Logan Lucky.

What appears to have brought him back wasn’t just the story and script, but that they managed to find a way to essentially cut out the usual mainstream film machine by pre-selling foreign distribution and TV/streaming rights and then releasing the movie in the US himself. [Read more…]

New Logan Lucky Trailer – Channing Tatum & Adam Driver star in Steven Soderbergh’s heist flick

By Leave a Comment

A few years ago, director Magic Mike and Ocean’s 11 helmer Steven Soderbergh announced that he wasn’t going to direct any more feature films. However, as with his many earlier threats to retire, it’s turned out to be premature, as he’s now returning with Logan Lucky, his first film since 2013. The new movie has been described as being a bit of an anti-Ocean’s 11, with people going on a heist but stripping out the glamour.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) is from a blue-collar family from the hills of West Virginia, whose clan has been famous for its bad luck for nearly 90 years. After being fired from his job, and with his ex-wife (Katie Holmes) threatening to move out of State taking their daughter with her, Jimmy decides he has to do something to get his family’s life back on track. With a little help from his brother Clyde Logan (Adam Driver), his sister Mellie (Riley Keough) and an incarcerated explosive expert, the aptly named Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), he plans to steal $14 million from the Charlotte Motor Speedway on the busiest race day of the year.

irected by Academy Award-winner Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven, Magic Mike, Traffic), Logan Lucky also stars Hilary Swank, Seth MacFarlane, Katherine Waterston, Sebastian Stan, and Brian Gleeson.’

Logan Lucky is out in the UK on August 25th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Logan Lucky Trailer – Steven Soderbergh teams with Channing Tatum & Adam Driver for a heist

By Leave a Comment

A few years ago, director Magic Mike and Ocean’s 11 helmer Steven Soderbergh announced that he wasn’t going to direct any more feature films. However, as with his many earlier threats to retire, it’s turned out to be premature, as he’s now returning with Logan Lucky, his first film since 2013. The new movie has been described as being a bit of an anti-Ocean’s 11, with people going on a heist but stripping out the glamour.

The movie is about two brothers, Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde (Adam Driver), who attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina. That involves them needing the help of the seemingly nutty Joe Bang (Daniel Craig). The impressive cast also includes Riley Keough, Katherine Waterston, Dwight Yoakam, Seth MacFarlane, Macon Blair, Hilary Swank, Sebastian Stan, and Katie Holmes.

Logan Lucky is out in the US in August. No UK date is currently set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

We Don’t Belong Here Trailer – Anton Yelchin play a young gay man in one of his final roles

By Leave a Comment

It was a genuine shock when young Anton Yelchin was killed in a tragic accident last year. Now his final roles are making it to the screen, including We Don’t Belong Here (previously titled The Greens Are Gone), which has recently been released on DVD/VoD in the US.

The very simple official synopsis says, ‘The matriarch of a dysfunctional family is pushed to her tipping point when her son goes missing.’. That doesn’t explain though the the son, Max (Yelchin), has plenty of problem, as he’s bipolar and self-medicating on drugs, as well as dealing with PTSD following a car accident. He’s also gay, something his mother (Catherine Keener) doesn’t approve of. Following Max’s dissapearance, family secrets start to spill out.

The likes of Riley Keough, Maya Rudolph, Justin Chatwin, Cary Elwes and Molly Shannon also star. Take a look at the trailer below. (H/T NNN) [Read more…]

New Clip From ‘Lesbian Werewolf’ Film Jack & Diane

By Leave a Comment


Jack And Diane has long been billed the ‘lesbian werewolf movie’, although that’s a bit of a misnomer. Bradley Rust Gray’s film follows the title characters (Juno Temple and Riley Keough) who are two teenage girls who meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But when Jack discovers that Diane is moving she pushes her away. Unable to grasp her new feelings, Diane’s emotions begin to cause unexplainable violent changes to her body. Through these awkward and insecure feelings, the two girls must struggle to turn their first love into an enduring one. There are elements of horror to the film, but to call it a ‘lesbian werewolf movie’ isn’t quite right. The film premiered at Tribeca in April, and arrives in UK cinemas on November 2nd (sadly no UK release is currently set). Now a new clip has arrived, and you can take a look at a featurette about the movie below.

Jack And Diane has long been billed the ‘lesbian werewolf movie’, although that’s a bit of a misnomer.

The Good Doctor Trailer – Orlando Bloom gets obsessed with a patient

By Leave a Comment


It’s one of the rules of movies that any film title that begins with ‘The Good…’ is about someone who isn’t very good at all. It appears that law will continue with The Good Doctor, which sees Orland Bloom as Martin Blake, an ambitious but anxious young doctor, eager to impress his superiors and colleagues: Chief Resident Waylans (Rob Morrow), self-assured fellow intern Dan (Troy Garity) and no-nonsense nurse Theresa (Taraji P. Henson). But things are not going Martin’s way and he can’t seem to shake off his insecurities. When 18-year-old patient Diane (Riley Keough) is admitted for a kidney infection, Martin steps in, getting the much-needed boost of self-esteem he craves. But things take a dark turn as his enthusiasm begins to become an obsession. No UK release date is currently set, but it’s out in the US in August.

And is it just us, or does Bloom have the hairstyle of the 7-year-old schoolboy in this film?

Lesbian Werewolf Drama Jack & Diane Set To Premiere At Tribeca

By Leave a Comment

Jack & Diane has a fairly long production history, which largely consists of various actresses such as Ellen Page and Olivia Thirlby attaching themselves to the title roles, before moving on. As a result it took a long time to get it in the can, but it was finally filmed last year with Riley Keough (who’s Elvis Presley granddaughter, incidentally) and Juno Temple in the lead roles.

Now the lesbian-themed fantasy drama film is set to gets its premiere, with the announcement (via The Playlist) that it’ll screen at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, which runs April 18th-29th.

The movie is about two teenage girls who meet in New York City and despite being very different, spark up a relationship. When Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane struggles to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire is giving her werewolf-like visions.

Jena Malone also stars, with Kyle Minogue popping up in the movie as a tattooed lesbian. Hopefully the movie will reach the UK later this year.
