Magic Mike XXL Trailer – Channing Tatum and the stripper boys are on the road

May 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

magic mike-xxl-multiple-character-bannerThe press release for this one warned people to ‘Lock up your daughters’, but there was no mention of sons, and so it looks like gay guys are being given free reign on this one (even if there is sadly a minimal amount of Matt Bomer in this trailer).

Generally though, if you’re upset that men keep their clothes on too much in the movies, Magic Mike XXL is here to help you out, and as this trailer is keen to show, this sequel will have plenty more shirtless, stripper shenanigans, while ramping the sexual suggestiveness up to 11.

What’s still not clear is the exact tone it will have. The first movie certainly had plenty of stripping, but that was placed around a rather dark, dramatic plot. Channing Tatum has given mixed responses to whether the new movie will follow suit, or if it will be more deliberately fun.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel “Magic Mike XXL”. Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games” franchise), Donald Glover (“Community”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Andie MacDowell (“Footloose”), Jada Pinkett Smith (“Gotham”) and Michael Strahan (“Live with Kelly and Michael”).

‘Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.’

It’ll be in cinemas in July. [Read more…]

Little Ant-Man Gets A Big New Poster

May 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ant-Man-Teaser-Poster1There comes a time in every Marvel film’s life when it needs a poster full of floating heads and bodies in an explosion of Photoshop-montage work, all while the characters look off into the middle-distance. It’s a bit daft but it works, and it has done for decades, not just for Marvel movies.

Now Ant-Man has its effort, with the costumed character himself taking centre stage, while surrounded by the likes of Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll and Michael Pena float about in the background – along with a reminder that inside the Ant-Man costume is Paul Rudd.

Take a look above.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

‘Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.’

Avengers: Age of Ultron (Cinema Review)

April 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson
Director: Joss Whedon
Running Time: 141 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: April 23rd 2015

Marvel must have been licking their lips when some genius came up with the idea of throwing all of their superheroes into one film to fight against evil. However The Avengers was a gargantuan success, becoming the third highest grossing movie ever. Now comes the sequel, Age Of Ultron, which has a lot to live up to. The result is a series of brilliantly executed set pieces, but inevitably the characters get lost in the mayhem and some of the actors look like they’d rather be elsewhere.

The plot is a cut and paste job about the evil Ultron, who is fed up with humans ruining their planet, and reasons it’s best to wipe them out – after all they’ve had a fair go. It’s actually a pretty good argument, but we’re supposed to be on the side of the Avengers, who must protect Earth from the evil robot and his army of automatons. [Read more…]

New Jurassic World Trailer – Chris Pratt looks exceedingly good tracking down Indominus Rex

April 20, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jurassic-world-poster3-slideWhen it was revealed Jurassic World would be set in a fully functioning dinosaur theme park many decided the film would be rubbish, but ever since the first images emerged many have changed their mind and decided it might actually be quite awesome.

That feeling certainly continues with this very cool new trailer which is full of dinos, plenty of harks ack to earlier movies as well as the suggestion the addition of genetically manipulated animals may be a very good idea – including the super-predator, Indominus Rex. We’ve also got three new posters you can look at below.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next instalment of his ground-breaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The screenplay is by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Trevorrow & Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley join the team as producers.’

The film is out in the UK on June 11th 2015. [Read more…]

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Trailer – The Caped Crusader doesn’t care how hot Henry Cavill looks

April 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-trailer1Now here’s an interesting one. Coming a few days early due to a bootleg showing up online, the official teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has now arrived, and it shows that the ‘v’ in Batman v Superman isn’t just for show, as the Caped Crusader doesn’t seem very happy with the Man Of Steel.

Indeed, a lot of people don’t like Superman, who is seen as a Messianic saviour by some, but as a False God by a lot more. It’s certainly an interesting set-up and suggests there’s going to be plenty of social metaphor in the movie.

You can take a look at the trailer below, complete with glowing eyed Ben Affleck Batman and Henry Cavil looking hotter than any man has a right to. The film is due out March 25, 2016. [Read more…]

New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer – Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker are back

April 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer2The first teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens very deliberately avoiding showing us any of the classic Star Wars characters, despite the fact he knew the likes of Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher would be returning.

However for the new trailer they’ve realised that while it’s nice to see some new characters, fans also want to know things haven’t changed that much, whether it’s the look of the film doing a great job of aping previous instalments, Luke Skywalker’s voice and arm, or the big reveal at the end with Han Solo and Chewbacca.

The new trailer was launched new at today’s The Force Awakens panel at Star Wars Celebration – the Ultimate Star Wars fan experience. Fans in the U.K who were unable to attend Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California attended a live local London event hosted by Star Wars star Warwick Davis at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square.

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Such-Good-PeopleIt feels like we’ve been waiting eons for Such Good People. We first reported on it back in October 2012 when the film was looking for crowdfunding. We’ve had the trailer since then, and now the film is getting is US release, and to celebrate we’ve got a great exclusive clip.

First Look At Jeremy Irvine In Roland Emmerich’s Gay-Themed Stonewall Movie

March 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stonewall-jeremy-irvineIt’s been a while since Roland Emmerich shot Stonewall, his upcoming movie about the riots in New York which helped kick off the modern gay rights movement. Now the film is in the can and the first image has been released, which shows Jeremy Irvine caught up in the chaos.

Alongside the pic comes the news that Roadside Attractions has picked up the rights to the movie in the US, and will release the movie later this year.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Less than 50 years ago, in 1969, being gay was considered a mental illness.  Gay people could not be employed by the government.  It was illegal for gay people to congregate, and police brutality against gays went unchecked.

‘STONEWALL is a drama about a fictional young man caught up during the 1969 Stonewall Riots. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is forced to leave behind friends and loved ones when he is kicked out of his parent’s home and flees to New York. Alone in Greenwich Village, homeless and destitute, he befriends a group of street kids who soon introduce him to the local watering hole The Stonewall Inn; however, this shady, mafia-run club is far from a safe-haven.  As Danny and his friends experience discrimination, endure atrocities and are repeatedly harassed by the police, we see a rage begin to build.  This emotion runs through Danny and the entire community of young gays, lesbians and drag queens who populate the Stonewall Inn and erupts in a storm of anger.  With the toss of a single brick, a riot ensues and a crusade for equality is born.’

It’s certainly a change of pace for Emmerich who’s best known for disaster epics such as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012, however the gay director was inspired to make the movie after working with homeless gay and lesbian youths.

Cinderella (Cinema Review)

March 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Lily James, Richard Madden, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: March 27th 2015 (UK)

After the success of Maleficent (2014) it’s little surprise that Disney is remaking some of their classic animated stories as live action movies. In a few years we will also have Beauty And The Beast and Tim Burton’s Dumbo (complete with a Danny Elfman soundtrack) and one day hopefully a version of Snow White where Peter Dinklage plays all the dwarfs.

To be honest though any studio can do these films as the stories are public domain (although Disney does like to bring in elements they have exclusive rights to due to them first appearing in their animated versions).

However what the other studios don’t have is the Disney magic. [Read more…]

I Am Michael (BFI Flare Opening Night Film Review)

March 18, 2015 By Scott Elliott Leave a Comment

Starring: James Franco, Zachary Quinto, Charlie Carver, Emma Roberts
Director: Justin Kelly
Certificate: NR
Release Date: March 19th 2015 (BFI Flare Gala)

Chosen as the Opening Night Gala film for this year’s BFI Flare: London LGBT Film Festival, this is an angry-making film. It’s supposed to be as it’s probably the first Going In movie, in that it’s a reversed Coming Out tale: I am Michael tells the story of how Michael Glatze went from out gay activist and editor of San Fransisco-based gay magazine XY to a straight, married Pastor in Wyoming.

The film opens with James Franco as Michael and Zachary Quinto as his loving-yet-bland boyfriend Bennet. Apparently they’re happily in love in San Francisco, both running a gay magazine and helping gay youth in 2001. We watch as Bennett and Michael go from being happy together to being happy in a three-way relationship with Tyler (played by the ab-tastic Charlie Carver). At least, we assume they’re happy together – at no point does anyone say “I am happy being gay with you”, which is about the level of some of the exposition this script has in places. Michael is moody. Bennett is bland. Tyler is pretty. That’s about it. [Read more…]
