Our Idiot Brother (Blu-ray)

September 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Paul Rudd, Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Steve Coogan
Director: Jesse Peretz
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 16th 2013

It’s taken a long time for Our Idiot Brother to reach the UK. It was released in the US just over two years ago, but it’s only now making it onto DVD and Blu-ray. Considering the awesome cast, it might seem surprising it’s taken so long, but after watching the slightly underwhelming film I can understand why nobody felt in too much of a rush.

Paul Rudd plays the titular idiot, Ned, who lives on an organic farm with his girlfriend, but gets busted and locked up for selling pot to a uniformed police officer. After being let out of prison, he discovers his girlfriend has taken up with another man and won’t allow him back on the farm. Ned’s not even allowed to take his beloved dog, Willie Nelson.

uwantme2killhim? (DVD)

September 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jamie Blackley, Toby Regbo, Joanne Frogatt
Director: Andrew Douglas
Running Time: 93 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 16th 2013

Popular 16-year-old Mark (Jamie Blackley) has fallen for Rachel, a girl he met online. She convinces him to look after her brother John (Toby Regbo), defending him from school bullies. When Rachel’s abusive gangster boyfriend does the unthinkable, Mark and John seek revenge. But Mark is sucked into a world much darker than he imagined, leading him to commit a terrible act. Was it for the greater good as he believed, or has he been taken for a ride?

Like Pain and Gain, Uwantme2killhim? is based on a rather unbelievable true story. Unlike the former, its execution is the biggest tragedy to unfold. [Read more…]

The Last American Virgin (Blu-ray)

September 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Lawrence Monoson, Steve Antin, Diane Franklin, Joe Rubbo
Director: Boaz Davidson
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: September 16th 2013

Teen films got very raunchy in the early 80s. The Last American Virgin was released shortly after Porky’s, and while it didn’t see the commercial success of that movie (and indeed isn’t quite as full-on with its sexual shenanigans), it did leave its mark on cult cinema. Indeed you have to wonder whether Adam Herz watched this before he decided to write American Pie (just leaving out the more serious bit towards the end). [Read more…]

Sir Billi (DVD)

September 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Sean Connery, Alan Cumming, Ruby Wax, Miriam Margolyes
Director: Sascha Hartmann
Running Time: 75 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: September 16th 2013

After having a hideous time on the set of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Sean Connery said he’d never make a movie again. However he’s come out of retirement to lend his voice to Sir Billi, presumably attracted by the fact that this is Scotland’s first feature-length animated movie (Connery is, after all, determined to be the most Scottish person in the world, despite the fact he hasn’t lived there for decades). He might also have liked the fact it’s a film about an octogenarian. [Read more…]

Fire With Fire (Blu-ray)

September 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D'Onofrio
Director: David Barett
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 16th 2013

It’s clear from the very first scene that there are going to be problems with Fire With Fire. Josh Duhamel’s Jeremy and his band of firefighters bask in the satisfaction of having fought a blaze and get ready to leave, with everyone around congratulating them on a job well done. However what no one seems to have noticed is that behind them the fire hasn’t actually been put out, as flames are still visible. With this sort of lack of care is apparent in the first 30 seconds, it’s little surprise the rest of the movie is far from a masterpiece. [Read more…]
