Tak3n Trailer – Liam Neeson’s Bryan Mills becomes a pacifist (not really)

October 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Taken-3-QuadIn Tak3n (or Taken 3, for those who cringe at bringing numbers into words) Liam Neeson becomes a Buddhist monk, has tea parties and teaches people that hugging bunnies is better than violence. Ok, no he doesn’t, he kicks a lot more ass and does his best impression of Richard Kimble in The Fugitive by going on the run after being framed for the murder of his (ex-)wife. Did a one-armed man do it?

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Liam Neeson returns as ex-covert operative Bryan Mills, whose reconciliation with his ex-wife is tragically cut short when she is brutally murdered. Consumed with rage, and framed for the crime, he goes on the run to evade the relentless pursuit of the CIA, FBI and the police. For one last time, Mills must use his “particular set of skills,” to track down the real killers, exact his unique brand of justice, and protect the only thing that matters to him now – his daughter.’

The movie is out in the UK on January 8th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Haram Queen (Review) Brunei’s first ever LGBT-themed short film

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Director: Abdul Zainidi
Running Time: 5 mins
Certificate: NR

In the last few years it’s seemed like the world of filmmaking has been opening up to everyone. No longer do you need money and equipment to buy and develop film, then manually edit and do all the other relatively expensive things it used to entail. Now most people wander around with cameras in their pockets – under the guise of smartphones – that offer a picture quality that would have exceeded what even a semi-professional videographer could have managed just 20 years ago.

However there are still limitations, not least that in different parts of the world certain subjects are still completely taboo and may even be criminal. You may be wondering why I’m talking about all this. Well, Haram Queen is the first (as far as it’s possible to tell) LGBT-themed film to emanate from the Bornean nation of Brunei, something that’s only possible due to the democratisation of filmmaking.

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

transparent-slideThe new Amazon Original Series Transparent launched on Friday and it’s been getting some great reviews (our thoughts should be posted very soon). You can watch the whole of the LGBT-themed first season if you’ve got an Amazon Instant Video subscription, but even if you don’t, those in the UK can view the first episode for free to see what the fuss is all about.

Transparent is a ten episode, half hour novelistic series that explores family, sex, and love.

When she reintroduces herself to her family, everyone’s secrets finally start to come out.

Fading Gigolo (DVD Review)

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Director: John Turturro

Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 29th 2014 (UK)

Hannibal – Season 2 (Blu-ray Review)

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Laurence Fishburne, Caroline Dhavernas
Director: Various
Running Time: 559 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: September 22nd 2014 (UK)

Hannibal should have been cancelled after Season 1, but not because of its quality. It got extremely low ratings in the US (and Season 2 was just as bad), which normally means a swift demise. However thanks to the fact it’s co-production between several countries, and therefore costs NBC comparatively little to make, it’s lived on.

And that’s a damn good thing, as while it’s found it tough to find its audience on American network TV, it’s also one of the most critically lauded shows around. It’s often said that a TV show has a ‘cinematic style’, but normally it’s just hyperbole. In Hannibal’s case it’s really true. It’s visually meticulous – something you can really appreciate on Blu-ray – has a great cast and a storytelling style that doesn’t assume the audience is made up of morons. [Read more…]

Inherent Vice Teaser Trailer – Plus a poster for Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Inherent-Vice-Teaser-posterPaul Thomas Anderson returns this winter with Inherent Vice, his take on Thomas Pynchon’s novel. We’ve had a couple of images already, but now we can get a far better feel for the movie with the teaser trailer and a debut poster.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When private eye Doc Sportello’s (Joaquin Phoenix) ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony bin…well, easy for her to say.

‘It’s the tail end of the psychedelic `60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that “love” is another of those words going around at the moment, like “trip” or “groovy,” that’s being way too overused—except this one usually leads to trouble.

‘With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists… Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp—all Thomas Pynchon.’

The film is due out in the UK on January 30th 2015. [Read more…]

Matt Bomer Will Be One Of The Nice Guys Alongside Ryan Gosling

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

matt-bomerThey seems to have confused the word ‘nice’ with ‘good-looking’ in the title of the film The Nice Guys, as it’s already got Ryan Gosling set to star, and now Deadline reports Matt Bomer has signed up too. Russell Crowe is also onboard, as is Margaret Qually.

The film is about muscle-for-hire Jackson Healy (Crowe), a recovering alcoholic, and private detective Holland March (Gosling), a current alcoholic, who are brought together by the apparent suicide of a porn star. However the dead woman’s aunt claims that she saw her niece alive and well after she was supposed to have killed herself. March takes on the case hoping to make some easy money, but soon both men are dragged into a far-reaching conspiracy that is rooted in smog and the car industry.

There’s not too much info on who Bomer will play, other than that he’s described as being ‘the heavy’. Qually meanwhile is daughter of a corrupt chief justice, who just happens to look an awful lot like the dead woman.

Shane Black is directing from a script he co-wrote with Anthony Bagarozzi. Bomer will head to the set as soon as he’s finished filming Magic Mike XXL.

The Nice Guys is due out June 2016.

Emma Watson & Daniel Bruhl Head For Tense Chilean Thriller Colonia

September 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emma watsonEmma Watson and Daniel Bruhl have found themselves new roles as they’re teaming up for the period thriller Colonia, which is set during a Chilean military coup in 1973, according to THR.

Bruhl will play the German Daniel, who gets arrested by dictator Augusto Pinochet’s secret police and is taken to a secret place with his friends and family not knowing what has happened to his. His lover Lena (Watson) tracks him down to a sealed-off area in the south of Chile, known as Colonia Digignad.

Officially it’s a charitable mission run by a preacher, but that’s just a sinister front for what is in reality a torture and detention centre from which few people ever leave.

Florian Gallenberger direct the movie, which has already started filming.
