Sabotage (Blu-ray Review)

September 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard, Mireille Enos, Joe Manganiello
Director: Davis Ayer
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 15th 2014 (UK)

There’s a tendency that even film reviewers fall into, which is to think that we always treat each individual film on its own merits. However sometimes it’s often not true. There can be a big problem when people go into a movie thinking it’s going to be one thing when actually it’s something else. As a result they judge it against their expectations not against the film itself.

I couldn’t help thinking about that while watching Sabotage, as many of the truly horrendous reviews the film have received are essentially bemoaning the fact they thought they were getting a ‘typical’ Arnie movie. However it’s not that, but the reviews still seem to view it through the lens of 80s Schwarzenegger. [Read more…]

New Sabotage Red-Band Trailer – Arnie takes on the drug cartels

March 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to the movies probably hasn’t been as big a success as he’s hoped, with lacklustre attendance for the likes of The Last Stand and Escape Plan. However he’ll be hoping that by returning to what looks like a bit of a lean, mean action movie, with a good director (David Ayer – Training Day, End of Watch) and a strong cast including Sam Worthington, Josh Holloway, Terrence Howard and Harold Perrineau, more people will be interested.

Now we can take a look with a red-band trailer for Sabotage.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In “Sabotage”, Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite DEA task force that takes on the world’s deadliest drug cartels. When the team successfully executes a high-stakes raid on a cartel safe house, they think their work is done – until, one-by-one, the team members mysteriously start to be eliminated. As the body count rises, everyone is a suspect.’

The movie due out March 28th in the US and May 9th in the UK. [Read more…]

Prisoners (DVD)

February 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Terrence Howard, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Running Time: 153 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: February 3rd 2013

Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is a family man with a wife, teenage son and young daughter. His life is upended when his youngest child and her friend disappear. The only clue is an RV seen parked on their street shortly beforehand, which leads Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) to the vehicle’s owner, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), a young man with the mental age of 10.

As there’s no real evidence that Alex was involved in the girls’ disappearance, the police are unable to hold him. However the fact he ran from the cops and something Alex says in the parking lot convinces Keller that he was involved. Frustrated by the cops, Keller decides to take matters into his own hands by kidnapping Alex and holding him in a dilapidated house he owns. Taking the law completely into his own hands, Keller turns up the pressure on Alex in order to try and force answers out of him. [Read more…]

Prisoners Trailer – Hugh Jackman loses his daughter, but can Jake Gyllenhaal help?

May 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


You could be forgiven for thinking the only Hugh Jackman movie out this year is The Wolverine, but he’s also getting far more serious with Prisoners, and he’s got a great cast surrounding him to do it, including Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paul Dano. Now we’ve got out first trailer, which makes the film look like it could be pretty intense.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His 6-year-old daughter and her young friend are missing, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect’s release. Knowing his child’s life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?’

The film is out this autumn. [Read more…]

The Butler Trailer – Forest Whitaker watches history in the White House

May 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The Butler could well be a fascinating film, and now we get our first taste of the movie, as a trailer has popped up online.

Gay director Lee Daniels’ film stars Forest Whitaker as real-life figure Eugene Allen, who rose through the ranks at the White House from 1952 through 1986, where he served eight different Presidents and eventually became the head butler. It gave him a unique vantage point on the civil rights struggle.

As the trailer shows, the movie has a starry cast including Robin Williams and Melissa Leo as Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson, James Marsden and Minka Kelly as JFK and Jackie O and Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan, while the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Alex Pettyfer, Lenny Kravitz, Cuba Gooding Jr., Vanessa Redgrave, Jesse Williams, Mariah Carey, and David Oyelowo also star.

The movie is due out in the US in October, and is likely to be hoping for a strong Oscar run.

Terrence Howard Joins Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal In Prisoners

December 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The cast for Prisoners is getting incredibly good, with Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano, Viola Davis, and Maria Bello already attached to the film, and they’ve now been joined by Terrence Howard, according to Deadline.

Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) is set to direct, with Hugh Jackman as a distraught father who takes the law into his own hands to find his kidnapped daughter, when he think the authorities aren’t doing enough. He clashes with a big city detective (Jake Gyllenhaal) who is assigned to the case.

Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband) wrote the screenplay, with filming on the movie set to begin in February. An autumn 2013 release is being eyed.

Red Tails (DVD)

October 29, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Gerald McRaney, David Oyelowo, Terrence Howard, Ne-Yo
Director: Anthony Hemingway
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 29th 2012

George Lucas first wanted to make a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen in 1988, but it’s taken until now to get it to the screen. That’s partly due to the fact that every studio turned him down, feeling a big, historical war movie with a largely African American cast wasn’t commercial enough. They were wrong, but unfortunately Red Tails isn’t the film to prove it.

After Lucas stumped up the budget himself the film was finally made with Anthony Hemingway directing, but it was plagued by delays and reshoots, and finally got released over two years after it was first shot. The result isn’t a bad film, but it’s one that’s so clichéd it never rises above the passable. [Read more…]

Malin Akerman In Talks To Join Arnie In Breacher

August 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Watchmen actress Malin Akerman is in negotiations to join the burgeoning cast of Breacher for director David Ayer, joining the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard, Dawn Olivieri and Joe Manganiello.

The movie is about a corrupt team of DEA agents who rob a Mexican drug cartel’s safe house, under the guise of a routine raid. The agents think they are in the clear, but then the team start getting killed off, one by one. Akerman will play one of the agents. Variety described the film as a ‘testosterone-heavy riff on Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians’.

Skip Woods (The A-Team, A Good Day to Die Hard) wrote the screenplay. Production is scheduled to begin this October in Atlanta. (Source: Variety)

The Ledge (Blu-ray)

April 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Patrick Wilson, Liv Tyler, Terrence Howard
Director: Matthew Chapman
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: April 16th, 2012

There’s a lot of talent involved in The Ledge and you can understand what attracted the cast to this philosophical, high concept thriller, but unfortunately a script that’s muddier than it ought to be results in a film that feels as if it’s not living up to its potential.

Detective Hollis (Terrence Howard) is having a bad day, as he’s just discovered he’s infertile and that his kids are therefore somebody else’s. He’s then called to a dramatic situation where a man called Gavin (Charlie Hunnam) is standing on a ledge threatening to jump. While Hollis tries to talk him down, Gavin tells his story, which involves meeting the ultra-religious Joe and Shana Harris (Patrick Wilson and Liv Tyler). As Gavin is an atheist, their initial interactions are rather prickly, especially when Joe is openly homophobic to Gavin’s gay roommate, Chris (Christopher Gorham). [Read more…]
