New Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Pics Give A Fresh Look At Jude Law’s Dumbledore

December 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

In mid-November we got our first look at the cast of Fantastic Beast 2, along with the news that it would officially be titled, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. That included Jude Law as a younger Dumblebore.

Now a couple of new pics have been released, including a better look at Law’s future Hogwarts headmaster – or as some people have already taken to referring to him as, ‘Hot Dumbledore’. There’s also a new image featuring a mad-haired Johnny Depp as the evil Grindelwald, but as it’s currently feeling like it would have been better not to have him in the franchise at all, the less said about that the better.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.

‘In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.’

The film is due out November 2018. Take a look at the new pics below. [Read more…]

Logan Lucky (Blu-ray Review) – Steven Soderbergh takes Channing Tatum on a blue collar heist

December 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Running Time: 116 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 26th 2017 (UK)

Director Steven Soderbergh hasn’t done very well at retiring. After a career that’s ranged from Sex Lies & Videotape, Erin Brockovich and Traffic to the Ocean’s 11 trilogy, Out Of Sight and Magic Mike, he announced that his last feature film as a director would be 2013’s Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra. However, just four years later he’s back with Logan Lucky.

What appears to have brought him back wasn’t just the story and script, but that they managed to find a way to essentially cut out the usual mainstream film machine by pre-selling foreign distribution and TV/streaming rights and then releasing the movie in the US himself. [Read more…]

American Made (Blu-ray Review) – Tom Cruise gets into the 1980s drug trade alongside the CIA

December 28, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Jesse Plemons, Caleb Landry Jones
Director: Doug Liman
Running Time: 115 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 26th 2017 (UK)

Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) is working as a pilot for TWA in the late 70s when she’s spotted by CIA agent Monty ‘Schafer’ (Domhnall Gleeson). Schafer wants Barry to fly reconnaissance missions in Central America, where the Soviet Union is backing Communist militias. His success at that leads to missions where he acts of the CIA courier to General Noriega in Panama, as well as helping to arm the anti-Communist Nicaraguan Contras in Honduras.

All this leads him to some dodgy places, including into the sphere of the Medellin Cartel, who get Barry to help them smuggle drugs into the US on his return trips. The CIA turn a blind eye to his side job as long as he still gets results. However, not every US law enforcement agency is as keen to ignore Barry’s smuggling. [Read more…]

The Limehouse Golem (DVD Review) – Bill Nighy investigates possibly LGBT Victorian murders

December 28, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Bill Nighy, Olivia Cooke, Daniel Mays, Douglas Booth, Sam Reid
Director: Juan Carlos Medina
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 26th 2017 (UK)

A murderer is stalking the streets of Limehouse in Victorian London, killing viciously and spreading panic. The killer has become known as the Limehouse Golem; named after the medieval Jewish monster made of clay. Police Inspector John Kildare (Bill Nighy) is brought in to investigate, soon coming to wonder whether the killer is the recently deceased John Cree (Sam Reid).

This line of questioning introduces him to Cree’s wife, Lizzie (Olivia Cooke), as well as the world of the music hall theatre she used to work at, which is led by cross-dressing comedy star Dan Leno (Douglas Booth). The number of potential suspects continues to grow – at one point even leading Kildare to the door of Karl Marx – especially after the discovery of a book that may be the murderer’s diary. But who wrote it and why? [Read more…]

Excusive: Jesus Meets The Gay Man Trailer – Get your first look at the comic doc about where religion meets LGBT

December 21, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you just look at the headlines, you’d think that Christianity and everthing gay were implacable enemies. However the reality is far more complex than that, with million of Christians being supportive of gay rights, and many gay people have rich religious sides.

The documentary Jesus Meets The Gay Man takes a comic look at all this.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A story of reconciliation, forgiveness and renewal wrapped in Monty Python-like sketches and a jazzy dance number, JESUS MEETS THE GAY MAN is a fun documentary that will have you see Jesus in a new light, while at the same time convincing you to work on your abs! Developed by looking at the questions of what Jesus would have said or done if He had met a gay person, the film aims to bridge the gap between Christians and the homosexual community, who have been at odds on this issue, with critical thinking and humor. In this age of so much information on the Bible and on the topic of homosexuality, can the LGBTQIA and the Christians find forgiveness?’

Breaking Glass Pictures is set to release the documentary on DVD and VoD in the UK on January 9th, 2018. Take an exclusive look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Dunkirk (Blu-ray Review) – Christopher Nolan goes to war in impressive fashion

December 18, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Fionn Whitehead, Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy
Director: Christopher Nolan
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 18th 2017 (UK)

Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors who can pretty much make any movie he wants. Thanks to the success of unconventional big budget movies such as Interstellar and Inception – and of course The Dark Knight trilogy – Warner Bros. trusts him to deliver. On the surface Dunkirk seems a more straightforward proposition as it’s a World War II movie, but as this is Nolan, he’s not going to make a war film quite like anyone else.

For a start there’s remarkably little dialogue and while there are main characters, we learn comparatively little about them. Likewise, while it’s about an incredibly famous event, it’s not interested in being an exposition-heavy historical overview, complete with officers pushing little boats around a war-room map to explain to us what’s going on. Instead it’s a film that wants to create a sense of realism about the events it’s talking about. It also has an almost puzzle-box nature – three intercut stories each taking place at a slightly different time – helping to create a sense of the chaos and uncertainty for those caught up in the events of late Spring 1940.

First Look At Saoirse Ronan & Margot Robbie In Mary Queen of Scots

December 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronana are getting historical with Mary Queen Of Scots. Ronan is playing the title role, while Robbie is Queen Elizabeth I. Now the first images from the movie have arrived via EW.

As the title suggests, the movie with follow the Catholic Mary, who certainly led a dramatic life, with her first husband murdered and then marrying the murder accused of killing him. She was then forced to abdicate and fled to England. However, as Mary had previously claimed Elizabeth’s throne, she was captured and locked up. She was kept hidden away in various manors for over 18 years, becoming an increasing problem, especially as many English Catholics viewed her as the legitimate queen. Eventually she was implicated in a plot to overthrow Elizabeth and executed. Josie Rourke directs from a script by Beau Willimon (House Of Cards).

The film isn’t due out until November 2018, but you can take a look at the first pictures from the movie below. [Read more…]
