By Leave a Comment

office-christmas-partyOffice Christmas Party is a bit of a lazy title for a movie, but at least it should do exactly what it says on the tin. However, to give it a bit of a boost they’ve lined up a good cast, led by Horrible Bosses and The Switch co-stars Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, as well as Olivia Munn, Jamie Chung, Rob Corddry, Jillian Bell, T.J. Miller and Kate McKinnon.

However, his plan to save the day quickly goes wrong when the party gets massively out of hand.

New Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Trailer – Adam Scott, Craig Robinson and co. head for the future

By Leave a Comment

Hot-Tub-Time-Machine-2-posterHot Tub Time Machine 2 is making an early bid for least called for sequel of 2015 (no one really wanted the first film all that much), but on the evidence of this trailer, it may actually be better than the first film.

While the first film took the characters back to the 80s in the titular hot tub time machine, this time they’ll be going to the future. As this allows them to know about the future, it means they were able to change their lives – not always for the better. They also meet Adam Scott’s Adam, who’s the son of John Cusack’s character.

A February 20th US release is set, with the movie arriving in the UK two days before that. Take a look at the trailer below, and the new poster above. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

It seems like a normal day, but then the Rapture happens. While not something that’s particularly well-known in the UK, the Rapture is popular with the more fervent evangelical sections of US Christianity. It basically says that when the end of the world begins, the righteous will be whisked off to heaven, leaving everyone else behind to deal with the apocalypse. [Read more…]

Hell Baby Red-Band Trailer – Rob Corddry is a dad-to-be dealing with a demonic curse

By Leave a Comment


Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant have got a great reputation as actors, as well as being the co-creators on Reno 911! and writing movies such as Night At The Museum and Balls Of Fury. Now they’re turning directors with Hell Baby, and we an get a taste of the movie with a new red band trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Hell Baby” a comedy scripted by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant (Night at The Museum, Reno 911!: Miami) marks their co-directing debut. Jack (Rob Corddry) and Vanessa (Leslie Bibb) are an expectant couple that moves into the most haunted fixer-upper in New Orleans — a house with a deadly demonic curse. Things soon spiral out of control for Jack and Vanessa, as well as their-not-so-helpful neighbor F’Resnel (Keegan-Michael Key), Vanessa’s friendly psychiatrist (Michael Ian Black), Vanessa’s Wiccan sister Marjorie (Riki Lindhome) and the detectives assigned to look into the rising body count (Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer). Only the Vatican’s elite exorcism team (Garant and Lennon) san save them — or can they?’

It hits VoD in the US later this month, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

Warm Bodies (DVD)

Running Time:
Certificate:
Release Date:

The zombie apocalypse has left the humans fighting against a horde of shambling corpses. R (Nicholas Hoult) is one of those zombies, except he’s beginning to wonder if there’s more to life than stumbling about groaning. When he ‘meets’ Julie (Teresa Palmer), a beautiful human survivor, R falls in love. He sets about trying to charm her, as best a rotting corpse can, and soon finds he’s undergoing more than just a change of heart.

The first zombie films had a message to deliver, the same is true here. But on top of this, Warm Bodies is refreshing, original, and one of the wittiest films you’ll find. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

adam-scottFor a while now a sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine has been in the works, but it’s now been revealed that John Cusack definitely won’t be returning, Instead TheWrap reports that Parks and Recreation’s Adam Scott is in talks to take the lead in Hot Tub Time Machine 2. However, he won’t be playing the same character Cusack played in the first movie.

Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Clark Duke are all finalizing deals to reprise their roles in the comedy sequel, with Steve Pink returning to direct. It isn’t clear who will provide the screenplay, but earlier reports suggested Steve Pink and Rob Corddry could provide the script.

Hot Tub Time Machine followed four friends who are transported back to one fateful night during their teenage years in 1986. The comedy grossed over $50 million in the United States, and became a hit on Blu-ray and DVD as well. No production schedule has been confirmed, but Craig Robinson revealed in March that they plan to shoot this summer.

MGM Hopes For Hot Tub Time Machine Sequel

By Leave a Comment

hot-tub-time-machine-posterNormally Hollywood likes to get sequels up and going as soon as possible, but it’s taken MGM a while to decide they want another trip into the world of Hot Tub Time Machine. However THR reports that the studio is now making deals to try and make a follow-up a reality.

At the moment John Cusack isn’t involved (although that could change), but Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke have all been in talks with the studio. Indeed Corddry may also take on scripting duties, alongside Steve Pink, the director of the last film (who is also in talks to return).

At the moment no deals have been signed, and THR suggests things could fall apart as it’s fairly early in the process, although if it all comes together MGM is likely to put the movie on the fast-track. There’s no news on the plot for the sequel and whether it would see the guys going back to the 80s again, or if this one would be set in a different era.

Seeking a Friend For The End of The World (Blu-ray)

What would you do if you knew the world was going to end in three weeks? Maybe you’d carry on with your day-to-day life, go crazy and do all the things you’d always wanted to but just hadn’t had time for yet, or maybe you simply just don’t know.

These are the things that Lorene Scafaria sets out to explore in this touchingly sweet, sad and laugh out loud look at the end of the world. Where as apocalyptic films in the past have looked at how the human race can save the day and prevent the world from being smashed to pieces, this uniquely original film looks at it from the everyday person’s perspective as they casually live out their last days.
