Nancy (Blake Lively) is feeling a bit lost in life and is considering dropping out of medical school. She heads off on her own to a secret Mexican beach that had special significance to her dead mother. After spending some time surfing, she discovers the bay is hiding the enormous body of a dead whale.
That’s not all that’s lurking either, as she is attacked by a great white shark, but manages to escape onto a rocky outcrop. She’s only a few hundred metres offshore, but with a gash in her leg that will attract the shark back, it doesn’t seem there will be any way to get back to the beach. It also becomes increasingly apparent that the cartilaginous fish isn’t going to give up. [Read more…]
I think it’s fair to say, that if most gay gys ever get to do anything homoerotic with Chris Pratt, they’s want everyone to know about it. Well, it turns out that may be true of straight dudes too.
Back in 2014 it was revealed that Sony & Mattel were working on a live-action Barbie movie. If you’d drawn up a list of the actresses you might have expected to nab the lead role, Amy Schumer probably wouldn’t have been on it, as she doesn’t exactly fit into the Barbie stereotypes. However, Variety reports she’s in talks for the role, and while she may not immediately seem an obvious fit, the funny woman is a smart choice.
Each year idiosyncratic legendary auteur John Waters lets the world know his top 10 movies of the last 12 months. It’s always worth a look, as he inevitably manages to find films you won’t have seen, some you won’t have heard of, and a few that probably ought to be on other people’s top 10’s but which most have passed over.
I have to say, the title Detective Pikachu doesn’t give me an awful lot of faith in the planned live-action Pikachu, but perhaps the film itself won’t be as embarrassingly cheesy as that makes it sound. Indeed, there’s a good chance it’ll get a different name by the time it reaches cinema.

There are quite a lot of gay-themed web series out there, and a few trans-ones too. And while there have been bisexual characters in various series, few have looked directly at the particular issues faced by bi people.

In the 1990s, Gus Van Sant liked the Phoenix’s, directing River Phoenix in My Own Private Idaho and a few years later Joaquin Phoenix in To Die For. Both were seminal roles for the actors, and since then Van Sant and Joaquin have talked about working together again numerous times, but either their schedules didn’t work out, ot the movie they were working on together fell through.
Jodie Foster’s screen appearances are becoming increasingly rare. While she’s kept busy directing Money Monster and episodes of Orange Is The New Black, we haven’t seen her in a movie since 2013’s Elysium, and it was two years before that that she popped up in Carnage.
