Capital Games (US DVD)

February 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Eric Presnall, Gregor Cosgrove, Jordan Rivers
Director: Ilo Orleans
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: NR
Release Date: February 11th 2013

Author G.A. Hauser has gained a lot of fans although some may not realise this doyenne of male-gay romance novels is a woman. Capital Games is the first of her books to become a movie, with the writer onboard to produce and co-write the script with Wendell Lu.

It follows Steve Miller (Eric Presnall), an ex-LAPD cop who’s now finding success in advertising. He feels immediate rivalry with new boy Mark Richfield (Gregor Cosgrove), who it appears may have been brought in to take on the massive account Steve has been after. As a result the men get off to a fractious start, which isn’t helped when they head off for a bonding weekend with other colleagues, at which Steve seems more interested in showing what a big man he is, rather than properly leading the team.

Score (1974) (Blu-ray/DVD)

February 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Claire Wilbur, Calvin Culver, Lynn Lowry, Gerald Park
Director: Radley Metzger
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: February 11th 2013

I have to say, Score came as a bit of a surprise. It’s one of three Radley Metzger erotic features that have just been released in the UK in double format Blu-ray and DVD editions. Metzger specialised in ‘high class erotica’ (or ‘art porn’), making numerous films in the 60s and 70s with a sexy bent. The other two movies released are Camille 2000 and The Lickerish Quartet.

Antique Bakery (DVD)

February 12, 2013 By Cleaver Patterson 1 Comment

Starring: Ju Ji-hun, Kim Jae-wook, Yu Ain
Director: Min Kyu-dong
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 11th 2013

Sometimes you see a film, the popularity of which defeats you – Antique Bakery (2008) is one such movie. That’s not to say that this smash hit from Korea (based on the bestselling manga series of the same name), directed by Min Kyu-dong (Five Senses of Eros (2005) and All About My Wife (2012)), and featuring Korean stars Ju Ji-hun, Kim Jae-wook and Yu Ain, isn’t fun. It’s more that, like the cakes which are served in the bakery, there isn’t a lot of substance beneath its sugary sweet coating. [Read more…]

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (DVD)

February 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Dylan McDermott, Paul Rudd
Director: Stephen Chbosky
Running Time: 98 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 11th 2013

Starting high school can be tough for anyone, but Charlie (Logan Lerman) has more on his plate than most. He’s recently out of the hospital after suffering from mental health problems, he’s still reeling from his best friend’s suicide and when he turns up at school, even the few people he does know ignore him.

Despite being quiet and generally keeping to himself, he manages to befriend seniors Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson), who introduce him to their group of friends. Charlie starts to open up, has his first relationship and begins to fall for Sam, allowing him to put his issues to one side. However as teen traumas inevitably arise and his friends get closer to leaving school, he faces losing the support network he’s built and may have to actually deal with his problems. [Read more…]

Darling Companion (DVD)

February 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Diane Keaton, Kevin Kline, Dianne Wiest, Richard Jenkins, Elisabeth Moss
Director: Lawrence Kasdan
Running Time: 98 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 11th 2013

Darling Companion ought to have been really good. It’s the first film in seven years from Lawrence Kasdan, writer of Raider Of The Lost Ark and Empire Strikes Back, and director of The Big Chill and Wyatt Earp. It also has a cast to die for, including Diane Keaton, Kevin Kline, Dianne Wiest, Richard Jenkins, Elisabeth Moss and Mark Duplass.

However it’s about a dog that goes missing and then they all look for it – and that’s about it. Well, technically they realise there that they can’t ignore the problems in their relationships and they have to work on mending it, but mainly it’s about the dog. [Read more…]

A Perfect Ending (DVD)

Director: Nicole Conn
Running Time: 110 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: February 11th 2013

Rebecca (Barbara Niven) is a rather uptight, middle-aged, middle-class women who’s used to getting what she wants – from everyone except her prig of a husband (John Heard) – but there’s one thing she’s never had; an orgasm. When she confides her secret to some friends they suggest she hire an escort. After all, who will know how to pleasure a woman better than another woman? [Read more…]

Pusher (2012) (Blu-ray)

February 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Richard Coyle, Agyness Deyn, Bronson Webb, Mem Ferda, Paul Kaye
Director: Luis Prieto
Running Time: 88 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: February 11th 2013

Normally remakes of European movies are made in the US but Nicholas Winding Refn’s 1996 movie Pusher got to the UK and decided to do the double, with two remakes in the past three years. The first was a British Indian take, while this new one brings across a Spanish director for a London-set version of the story. [Read more…]

Starring: Lucas Lagre, Mario Veron, Javier De Pietro
Director: Marco Berger, Marcelo Monaco
