Tomorrowland Trailer – Plus a poster for Disney’s George Clooney starring sci-fi

March 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tomorrowland-poster1Disney is betting big this summer of Tomorrowland (or as they now seem to be trying to call it, Tomorrow Land – A World Beyond) as they’re hoping that it won’t just make a load of money at the box office, but could become a franchise and even help spearhead the rejuvenation of the Tomorrowland section of the Disney theme parks.

And we have to admit, it does look kind of cool.

Now a full trailer has arrived so we can get a better look at the George Clooney starrer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland – A World Beyond,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

‘Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland – A World Beyond” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.

‘The film also stars Hugh Laurie as brilliant scientist David Nix, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Robinson.

“Tomorrowland – A World Beyond” is produced by Damon Lindelof, Brad Bird and Jeffrey Chernov and directed by Brad Bird, with John Walker, Brigham Taylor, Jeff Jensen and Bernard Bellew serving as executive producers. “Tomorrowland – A World Beyond” comes to UK cinemas May 22nd 2015.’ [Read more…]

Kissing Darkness (DVD Review)

March 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Sean Paul Lockkart, Ronnie Kroell, Kyle Blitch
Director: James Townsend
Running Time: 87 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 9th 2015 (UK)

Vampires have always been a little bit gay, but Kissing Darkness wants to take that further with a film that comes across as if Twilight had been made in the style of a gay porn movie – except without the hardcore sex.

A group of gay friends (plus a token straight guy) head off for a weekend at a remote cabin. However their fun time isn’t just spoiled by tensions amongst them, but by a strange spirit they awaken after messing with a Ouija board. The ‘witch’ seems to have a problem with the gays, and works her way through the group, turning them into bloodthirsty vampires who do her bidding. [Read more…]

The Imitation Game (Blu-ray Review)

March 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Charles Dance
Director: Morten Tyldum
Running Time: 114 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: March 9th 2015 (UK)

Despite eight Oscar nominations The Imitation Game only walked away with one award, Best Adapted Screenplay. To be honest that wasn’t a shock, as quite a few Oscar watchers had thought it would get nothing. And there are also some, including myself, wondering if the one Academy Award it did win was the right one.

The movie tells the story of Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), a socially awkward, somewhat irascible mathematics prodigy who, after the Second World War breaks out, applies to the government to help break the infamous Enigma code, something many believe is impossible. However he doesn’t want to continue with the traditional method of codebreaking, where smart men use pens, paper and just their brains, as he has an idea to use a machine to break down and then check the billions of possible combinations until it finds the right one. If he can do it, it will allow the Allies to read the German military’s secret communications and possibly win the war. [Read more…]

Continuum (DVD Review)

March 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Haley Joel Osment, Gillian Anderson, Victor Garber, Rufus Sewell
Director: Richiw Mehta
Running Time: 89 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 9th 2015 (UK)

You have to admire sci-fi that really wants to be intelligent, even if it’s not actually as smart as it thinks it is. That’s certainly true of Continuum (known as I’ll Follow Your Down in the US), which wants to bring together time-travel, wormholes and quantum theory to create a tale that considers the idea of what it would mean to change your past so that your present never happened. However it’s not really that smart and seems to ignore many of the most important implications of what it’s talking about.

Gabe (Rufus Sewell) heads off on a business trip but never returns, leaving his wife (Gillian Anderson) and young son Errol with no clues as to what happened to him – he never checked out of his hotel and has completely disappeared. 12 years later his wife still hasn’t gotten over what happened, while the massively intelligent Errol (now grown up to be Haley Joel Osment) is trying to make his way in the world as a young adult.

Pride (Blu-ray Review)

March 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ben Schnetzer, George MacKay, Imelda Staunton, Bill Nighy, Andrew Scott
Director: Matthew Warchus
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 2nd 2015 (UK)

For many people Pride was one of the best films of 2014, if not the best. It’s well made, genuinely funny, angry, smart and heartfelt; and while tinged with tragedy, overall it’s astonishingly uplifting.

It’s the early 1980s and the National Union Of Miners is on strike due to theThatcher government’s decision to close a number of coal pits. The strike is dragging on and the nation is divided, including in London where a group of gays and lesbians decide to come together to raise cash for the miners. There’s a problem though, as when they try to donate the cash they find out that the Union and various other groups don’t want to take the money as they’d preferred not to be associated with a bunch of ‘poofs’. Although LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners) could donate anonymously, de facto group leader Mark (Ben Schnetzer) is determined that gay people raised the cash and they should be able to donate without hiding their sexuality.

Check It, A Doc About The Only Known All Gay & Queer Gang, Seeks Funding

March 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

check-itThe perception is that gangs are dangerous, quite scary and also homophobic, and while that may be largely true, there is one that’s a little different, as it’s the only known gang made up solely of gay & queer members. Now a documentary about it is being made called Check It, which is seeking $60,000 via IndieGoGo to get it completed.

Vice reports that ‘The group formed to provide members safety in numbers and let people know that if you jumped a gay kid in DC, you’d likely get jumped back in retaliation… Unlike other gangs, the Check It aren’t tied to a specific geographic location. They hang out at each others’ houses, mostly, as well as a local Denny’s and the Chinatown and Gallery Place Metro stations. And they didn’t have to do much to spread their name. A local go-go band called ReAction wrote a song about the gang and name-checked individual members. That meant people like [Trayvon] Warren (pictured) had a certain amount of notoriety, which allowed him to go to pretty much any neighborhood in DC without people giving him much trouble for being, as he and his friends put it, “faggie.”‘

The documentary provides ‘an intimate portrait of 5 childhood friends as they claw themselves out of gang life through an unlikely avenue–fashion.’

At the IndieGoGo page says, life can be extremely tough for African-American queer teens, with many rejected by their family and community, and then face a struggle to survive, with the gang providing a refuge, despite the still present dangers.

You can take a look at the trailer below, which is introduced by Steve Buscemi, and then head over to the IndieGoGo page for more info. [Read more…]

Jurassic World Director Colin Trevorrow Plans An Intelligent Life

March 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Colin-TrevorrowIt’s still a few months until Colin Trevorrow hits cinemas with Jurassic World, but he’s already thinking of the future, as THR reports that he’s planning to direct a movie called Intelligent Life.

It’s not a brand new idea, as he was previously working on it with creative partner Derek Connolly under the title The Ambassador, but now it’s been completely reimagined and reworked.

It’s not known exactly how it was changed, but the Ambassador was about ‘a U.N. worker in a department that was to represent humankind in the event of alien contact. The man falls in love with a mysterious woman who turns out to be an alien.’

The tone is said to be more like Trevorrow’s earlier movie, Safety Not Guaranteed, than Jurassic World. It’s not known when it might shoot.
