54 The Director’s Cut Clip – Ryan Philippe & the boys try out shirtless dancing

June 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

54-shirtlessThe story of the 1998 movie movie 54 has passed into movie lore, with the movies finished by director Mark Christopher, but then hacked up by the studio, who removed, among other things, all reference to Ryan Philippe’s character being bisexual.

So gone was a man-on-man kiss and a scene where Philippe is behind the bar in the club and does some shirtless dancing – complete with homoerotic edge.

Although the Director’s Cut has screened at festivals before, it’s now coming to general audiences for the first time, as the full version is released today in the US on digital HD.

To give a reason to check it out, ET has gotten its hands on the shirtless dancing clip, which you can see below. [Read more…]

The Good Dinosaur Teaser Trailer – Plus a poster for Pixar’s movie

June 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Good-Dinosaur-Teaser-poster1Last year Pixar very rudely didn’t release a movie at all, but they’re making up for it with two in 2015 – Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur. The latter was actually supposed to have a 2014 release but a major reworking saw the release date shoved back to this November.

Now the first teaser trailer and a poster have arrived giving us a look at a film that sees dinosaurs and humans living side by side, with the footage showing us how that might have happened (although I’m sure evolutionary scientists would take issue with it, as would creationists, so this may be the first time ever they can find something to agree about).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘”The Good Dinosaur” asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.’

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

Dwayne Johnson Will Have Big Trouble In Little China In A New Remake

June 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dwayne-johnsonNow here’s a remake that makes sense. While Big Trouble In Little China has a big cult following and a lot of people love it, it’s always been a slightly messy movie where the idea behind it always seemed better than the film itself.

Now a do-over of John Carpenter’s 1986 movie is coming, and TheWrap reports that it’s found a star, as Dwayne Johnson is attached to take over from Kurt Russell in the lead role.

The original follows a truck driver who ends up getting mixed up in a centuries old mystical mystery in San Francisco’s Chinatown, where there are plans to give a two thousand-year-old evil sorcerer a new body.

Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (X-Men: First Class) will write the script but there’s no news on whether they’re planning any major changes to the plot, or when we might see the new film.

Masters Of Sex – Season 2 (DVD Review)

June 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael Sheen, Lizzy Caplan, Caitlin FitzGerald, Beau Bridges, Danny Huston
Director: Various
Running Time: 671 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

It’s back to the repressed 1950s in Masters Of Sex – Season 2, where Bill Master (Michael Sheen) is still dealing with the fact the world is less ready for his study into the body’s physiological response to sex than even he expected. He’s been let go from the hospital and is finding it tough to find somewhere to resume his work. Even when he finds a new hospital, it may not be the perfect fit he was hoping.

Things are complicated by his new baby, especially as he is aware the child probably isn’t biologically his. That also puts pressure on his relationship with his wife, as does his increasingly complicated relationship with the co-author of the study, Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan). Their sexual dynamic has stretched beyond their scientific experimentation, but they still wish to maintain a strong working relationship. [Read more…]

Whiplash (DVD Review)

June 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Miles Teller, JK Simmons, Paul Reiser
Director: Damien Chazelle
Running Time: 101 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

It’s not too surprising that most of the posters for Whiplash, and indeed the DVD cover, is covered in quotes and star ratings from reviews. After all, it was always going to be a tough sell at the cinema to get your average moviegoer to give it a chance, as few people will go ‘Do you fancy seeing the one about the young drummer who gets shouted at a lot?’ – unless you give them a damn good reason, that is. JK Simmons deservedly winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar didn’t hurt either.

It’s actually not too bad a plot synopsis that this is a film about a young drummer who gets shouted at a lot. It’s about a lot more than that too, not least what it takes to make someone truly great at something, rather than just being good. [Read more…]

President Snow Gets Smashed In A New The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Poster

June 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-poster1It shouldn’t come as a surprise that in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Katniss and co. aren’t suddenly going to become massive fans of President Snow, so seeing the statue of him above smashed to pieces isn’t a shock.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin), and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.

‘THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2 is released in UK cinemas on 19th November 2015.’

American Sniper (DVD Review)

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Kyle Gallner, Luke Grimes
Director: Clint Eastwood
Running Time: 132 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

Often when an actor has a passion project it turns out to be something that should never have been attempted and ends up as a very expensive way to massage their ego. However, while Bradley Cooper was one of the major driving forces behind American Sniper, it was always clear he was onto something interesting. Indeed, at one point Steven Spielberg even signed on to direct, before the gig went to Clint Eastwood.

While Clint may be known as a bit of a hard man actor, he really brings the emotion out of what could have been a rather stereotypical war story in other hands.

The film is about Chris Kyle (Cooper), who found ‘fame’ of sorts when he became the Navy SEAL sniper with the most verified kills in US history. However, the movie isn’t just about his time on the battlefield but also its effects – both how he deals with what he’s doing while on tour (which for a sniper is oddly personal, as it involves very deliberately finding a single person and snuffing out their life) and also when he arrives back home and is suddenly supposed to jump into ‘normal’ life again.

Fortitude – Season 1 (DVD Review)

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Richard Dormer, Stanley Tucci, Sophie Grabol, Veronica Echegui, Michael Gambon
Director: Various
Running Time: 570 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

I enjoyed Fortitude but there is a slight sense with the 12-part series that a bunch of people sat in a room and came up with a list of TV shows they liked, and then tried to put together something that included a little bit of all of them. As a result there are echoes of Broadchurch, Lost, Twin Peaks, The X-Files, The Killing and various other things.

Indeed it gets to the point where it’s difficult not to feel the series ends up as something rather different from how it begins, to the point that those who were hoping for the initial murder-mystery might feel a little cheated when it goes a little sci-fi (even if it is very much at the softer, more realistic end of sci-fi). However, those who are open and stick with it are likely to find it rewarding. [Read more…]

Stretch (Blu-ray Review)

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Patrick Wilson, Chris Pine, Ed Helms, jessica Alba, James Badge Dale
Director: Joe Carnahan
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

Stretch is a bit of a crazy film. Indeed it’s so crazy that despite a cast full of well-known actors the studio behind it didn’t know quite what to do with it and cancelled its US cinema release just a couple of months before it was due to hit cinemas, before trying to sell it to another distributor. However, that’s a shame as while it is nuts and sometimes incredibly messy, it’s also oddly entertaining, even if you can see the studio’s point that it’s a tough film to properly market.

Patrick Wilson plays an LA limo driver whose life hasn’t turned out as he wanted – he planned to be an actor but never made it, he’s lost the love of his life and now he’s got a massive gambling debt and no time to pay it off. In the hope of getting a massive tip he takes a job driving an extremely eccentric passenger (Chris Pine), but soon finds him caught up in a situation involving foreign gangsters, the FBI, a suitcase full of cash, an asshole version of Ray Liotta (playing himself) and a psychotic tow truck driver.

Shaun The Sheep The Movie (Blu-ray Review)

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, Omid Djalili
Director: Mark Burton, Richard Starzak
Running Time: 85 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

It’s amazing to think that Shaun The Sheep started off as a minor character in one of the Wallace & Gromit shorts, as since then he’s become a bit of a children’s entertainment powerhouse, with a TV series, loads of merchandise, a spin-off (in the form of Timmy Time), and now a movie.

In the film Shaun decides that once more he must try to outwit the farmer so that and the flock can take the day off. However a series of accidents results in the sheep ending up in the big city. They dress up as humans and set out to look for the farmer, who has been knocked over the head and has amnesia. During to his shearing skills, the farmer becomes a celebrated hairstylist, but can Shaun and co. get to him and help him recover his memories, before the evil animal control man can get them?
