Elizabeth Banks’ Rita Repulsa Gets Trapped In New Power Rangers Image

August 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

power-rangers-elizabeth-banksIt can’t be long until we get a trailer for the new Power Rangers movie, but until then we’ve got a new image featuring Elizabeth Banks as the evil Rita Repula, trapped behind some type of ice or crystal wall. Once again it underlines that this won’t be like the fun but slightly cheesy TV show.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.’

The movie will be in cinemas next February.

Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Reuniting For Holmes and Watson

August 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-ferrell-john-c-reillySherlock Holmes already holds the record for the literary character with the most on-screen adaptations. Now it looks like he might be getting another one, with time turning the famous detective more comic, as Deadline reports that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson.

The movie will give Sherlock a PG-13 comic spin, with Ferrell and Holmes and Reilly as Watson. Previously it was going to be Ferrell and Sasha Baron Cohen, but after the Borat actor left, Sony quickly replaced him with Reilly, with plans to push is into production soon.

Etan Cohen, who directed Ferrell in Get Hard, is set to helm the movie. The movie will go into production at the end of the year, for release in 2017.

Spa Night Trailer – A forbidden gay awakening for a teenager in an all-male sauna

August 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

spa-night-slideSynopsis: The atmospheric SPA NIGHT is a portrait of forbidden sexual awakening set in the nocturnal world of spas and karaoke bars in Los Angeles’ Koreatown. David Cho (Joe Seo in a breakthrough performance), a timid 18-year-old living with his financially-struggling immigrant parents, chances upon a secret cruising spot when he takes a job at an all-male spa. There he begins to realize hidden desires that threaten his life as a dutiful son and student.

Spa Night is Andrew Ahn’s debut feature, and it’s already has plenty of success at the likes of Sundance Film Festival and also at LA’s Outfest. Now it’s preparing for its US release, so a wider audience will get to see it.

It’ll open in New York on August 19th and LA on August 26th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Ben Whishaw May Join Mary Poppins Sequel

August 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lilting-ben-whishawDisney’s planned follow-up to Mary Poppins is fast coming together, with Emily Blunt in the lead role, Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda in the equivalent of the Dick Van Dyke role, and Meryl Streep in talks to play Poppins’ cousin, Topsy. Now THR reports that London Spy and Spectre star Ben Whishaw may be joining them.

He’s in talks to play an adult Michael Banks in the movie, which will be set in the 1930s and follow Michael and Jane Banks, as well as their children, after a major event takes place in their lives. That event results in the return of the magical Mary Poppins, who teams up with her lamplighter friend Jack (Miranda) to help the family.

Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Smash) will write the songs, with David Magee penning the script. Rob Marshall is set to direct. The current plan is to shoot early next year, for release December 2018.

Boy Meets Girl – Series 2 (DVD Review)

August 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Denise Welch, Harry Hepple, Jonny Dixon, Nigel Betts, Rebecca Root
Director: Various
Running Time: 180 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: August 15th 2016 (UK)

Boy Meets Girl broke new ground last year as the first British sitcom with a transgender lead character, played by a transgender actress. It quickly showed that it was more than just a bit of token inclusivity by the BBC, with its witty and warm look at the blossoming love between 20-something Leo (Harry Hepple) and 39-year-old Judy (Rebecca Root).

Now it’s back for a second season, with six more episodes following Leo, Judy and their eccentric families. In the first episode, Leo decides it’s time to up the ante by proposing to Judy, with the rest of the series covering the run-up to their wedding. As well as plenty of worry about venues and whether Harry’s mother, Pam (Denise Welch), is being too pushy, there are quite a few other issues to deal with. [Read more…]

Eye In The Sky (DVD Review)

August 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman, Barkhad Abdi, Phoebe Fox
Director: Gavin Hood
Running Time: 102 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: August 15th 2016 (UK)

When people talk about modern warfare, it tends to be in rather black and white terms. It’s either people concerned about collateral damage who tend to ignore the moral quagmire that killing a few innocent people may end up saving many more, or the more gung-ho attitude that ignores the guiltless that get caught up in it. Eye In The Sky attempts to explore the grey areas.

In Nairobi, a British and American task force are tracking some Islamic extremist terrorists, but are mainly doing so from afar, using drones controlled from the US and other tech piloted by a local (Barkhad Abdi) on the ground. They discover that three of their most wanted targets are together in a house. However, plans to capture them quickly change to the need for a possible kill-strike, when they realise there are bomb belts in the house and a suicide attack is imminent. Things get even more complex when a young girl enters the kill zone and they realise a strike is likely to kill her. [Read more…]

The Huntsman: Winter’s War (Blu-ray Review)

August 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain
Director: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: August 15th 2016 (UK)

The Huntsman: Winter’s War was always going to have an uphill struggle with critics. Most of them didn’t particularly like the first film, Snow White And The Huntsman, and it was very difficult to see the point of making a follow-up. When Winter’s War arrived, it turned out not that many other people could see the point either, as it didn’t exactly set fire to the box office.

That’s almost a shame though, as the rubbish-ness of the first film is undoubtedly a drag on this movie and something it attempts to get around with only partial success. If this was standalone film without that millstone, and if a few structural issues were sorted out, it would have gotten a much reception. [Read more…]

11.22.63 (DVD Review)

August 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: James Franco, Sarah Gadon, George McKay, Chris Cooper, Daniel Webber
Director: Various
Running Time: 360 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: August 15th 2016 (UK)

For decades now, Stephen King has been getting away with premises that in most other people’s hands would have people rolling their eyes and saying it’s ridiculous. However, he manages to pull it off more often than not. That’s certainly true of the idea behind 11.22.63, where there’s a closet that takes people back to 1960. Why? Well, just because there is, of course.

That’s just one of a series of arbitrary rules around which this JJ Abrams produced eight-part adaptation of King’s novels weaves a story of time-travel, love, espionage and the Kennedy assassination. Jake (James Franco) is a high school teacher who discovers that there is indeed a portal to 1960 in the back of a diner. The owner of the restaurant (Chris Cooper) has been using it to try to prevent JFK’s assassination, something he believes will makes the world a better place. [Read more…]

‘Mysterious’ Gay-Themed Short Film So It Goes Needs Your Help

August 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

so-it-goes-slideThere are some great gay-themed short films out there, but getting the funding to make them isn’t always easy. That’s probably why So It Goes has turned to Indiegogo, where it’s hoping to raise at least $8,000.

It’s described as ‘a mysterious short film with a faded aesthetic influenced by the novels of Kurt Vonnegut and Cormac McCarthy.’ Here’s the synopsis: ‘Something isn’t right at the Dallin farm where sickly 16-year-old Oren has been in foster care for 4 years.  Book smart but a social pariah, Oren is mourning his boyfriend, Tomaj, who died from kidney failure 6 months ago. Oren keeps to himself when Benji, a kind-hearted boy arrives to fill Tomaj’s empty bunk. When Oren sees what foster mother Ma Dallin has been up to, he must decide whether or not to tell the other boys. Benji’s sweetness gradually wins Oren over and he falls for the new kid and shares the deadly secret about Ma’s hi-protein flour. Frustrated that Oren would keep this a secret from the other boys, Benji abandons him, and Oren must decide what to do next.’

Director Andy Bosnak comments, “This screenplay says what I’ve always wanted to say, there is darkness in the world, but we can fight it if we join together. I’ve assembled a crew of experienced, talented artists who care about communicating worthwhile messages in film. We’re shooting in October. The movie will be finished in March 2017.”

Take a look at the fundraising video below, and if you like what you see, head over to Indiegogo. [Read more…]
