Toby Jones & Rafe Spall Up For Jurassic World 2

November 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rafe-spallIt looks like the follow-up to the mega-hit Jurassic World is getting a bit of a British infusion, as Variety reports that Toby Jones and Rafe Spall are in talks to join the movie. While there have been no details about the plot of the movie, as they are both from the UK, it’s difficult not to speculate whether they will be relative of Jurassic Park’s founder, John Hammond, originally played by the late Richard Attenborough.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are both due to return for the sequel, and it’s likely they’ll soon be joined by Spall, Jones, as well as two other actors the producers are currently testing for. J.A. Bayona is set to direct, from a script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly.

Toby Jones is known for roles such as Dr. Arnim Zola in Captain America, Claudius Templesmith in The Hunger Games and David Pilcher in Wayward Pine. Rafe Spall meanwhile is known for Prometheus, Wife Of Pi and I Want It A Year.

Max Landis To Direct An American Werewolf In London Remake

November 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

max-landisFor a while now there’s been talk of remaking John Landis’ classic 1981 horror movie, An American Werewolf In London, but it’s found difficulty getting off the ground. When it was first mooted, some wondered whether John’s son, Max, would want to take it on.

At the time it seemed it didn’t, but now that’s changed, with THR reporting that Max Landis is set to write and direct the remake. Max has previously written the like of Chronicle and American Ultra, as well as the new US TV version of Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. He made his directorial debut with Me Him Her, but American Werewolf is certainly on a larger scale than that film, and his involvement will certainly have a lot of people wondering whether he can outdo his dad.

The original follows two American backpackers, who are attacked by a beast while walking on the moors. The attack kills one of them, with the survivor starting to have nightmares about hunting at night, and with other victims of the beast demanding he releases them from a curse, he begins to realise he’s become a werewolf.

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman will produce the remake, although it’s not known if there will be significant changes from the original.

Fire Song (US DVD Review)

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Andrew Martin, Harley Legarde, Jennifer Podemski, Ma-Nee Chacaby, Mary Galloway
Director: Adam Garnet Jones
Running Time: 96 mins
Certificate: NR
Release Date: November 8th 2016 (UK)

Not many movies look at the experience of First Nations people, and even fewer that look at the experience of LGBT people in those communities. Adam Garnet Jones takes on these subjects, using a mix of new and veteran performers, including quite a few young people who had never previously acted professionally, but grew up in the same Ontario area Jones comes from, with the film shot on a real reservation.

The movie follows Anishnaabe youth Shane (Andrew Martin), who’s nearing the end of high school and hoping to escape the dead-end community he grew up in and head to university in the big city. However, his sister recently committed suicide, leaving him with an almost catatonic mother who he needs to support. While he has a girlfriend, he’s also been seeing David, the closeted grandson of a tribal elder, with both of them knowing that ‘two-spirited’ people aren’t always accepted. [Read more…]

I Promise You Anarchy (DVD Review)

Starring: Diego Calva Hernández, Eduardo Martínez Peña, Shvasti Calderón Rivera, Gabriel Casanova Miralda
Director: Julio Hernández Cordón
Running Time: 88 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 7th 2016 (UK)

In Mexico City, Miguel and Johnny have started sleeping with one another. They’re both involved in a somewhat shady business where they’re paid to find people to donate blood that is used by drug gangs, or in their parlance, they’re looking for human ‘cows’ to be ‘milked’. As their relationship deepens – despite Johnny having a girlfriend and suggesting he just likes to have fun with people of either gender – the duo find themselves tempted when they’re offered a big payday by the gangsters to find 50 people to be ‘milked’.

As things start to spiral out of control and they realise their greed may have repercussions they never expected, events threaten to split them apart forever. [Read more…]

Burning Blue (VoD Review)

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Trent Ford, Rob Mayes, Tammy Blanchard, Morgan Spector, Will Lee Scott
Director: D.M.W. Greer
Running Time: 96 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 7th 2016 (UK)

It’s the early 1990s and Daniel (Trent Ford) is a Navy fighter pilot, following in his admiral father’s footsteps. He’s made a pact with his friend, Will (Morgan Spector), that they will do whatever it takes to get on the programme to be astronauts, even though there are questions about Will’s night vision, which may have caused an almost fatal jet crash.

Into their tight-knit group arrives Matthew. Daniel starts to have feelings for Matthew that go far beyond friendship, even though he has a longterm girlfriend and Matthew is married. It seems Matthew may feel the same way, especially after a night in New York involving shirtless dancing, two women and a hotel room. [Read more…]

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

i-promise-you-anarchy-dvd-coverI Promise You Anarchy arrives on DVD in the UK on November 7th 2016, courtesy of TLA Releasing. We’ve teamed up with them to give away two copies in this competition.

At its heart, a love story between two lost boys, I Promise You Anarchy manages to be at once chilling and heart-rending. Miguel, from a middle-class family, and Johnny, from a humble barrio, are skateboarders, are best friends and lovers. To finance their lifestyle, they sell their own blood, and those of their gang of skateboarders and acquaintances, to clandestine clinics, until a big delivery job for the mafia goes wrong.

Echoing the laid back eroticism of Gus Van Sant at his most playful, with shades of a modern-day neo-noir, this visually arresting film is a sumptuous and occasionally chilling journey into the illicit underbelly of Mexico’s capital.

Win The Gay-Themed Beautiful Something On DVD!

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

beautiful-something-dvd-coverBeautiful Something arrives on DVD in the UK on November 7th 2016, courtesy of Peccadillo Pictures. We’ve teamed up with them to give away two copies in this competition.

Beautiful Something follows four diverse men as they navigate life during one sublime night in Philadelphia.

Cute, twenty-two-year-old writer Brian (Brian Sheppard) continually crashes and burns with each guy he meets, but does not understand why. Jim (Zack Ryan), gorgeous and full-of-life, is not afraid to break hearts except when it comes to his forty-something lover who is a world-renowned sculptor. It seems Drew (Colman Domingo) is solely focused on his latest masterpiece and not Jim. Then there’s Bob (John Lescault), a successful talent agent from LA in his mid-sixties who leads a double life being a sugar daddy while traveling on business. As all four comb the Philadelphia streets looking for a connection, they often settle for something quick and easy. However, tonight is much different.

Inspired by real-life experiences, Beautiful Something explores the deeper meaning of how giving one’s self to love, and its necessary vulnerabilities, helps us turn the corner from seeing the world as a child to seeing the world as an adult.

Imperium (DVD Review)

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Toni Collette, Tracy Letts, Sam Trammell
Director: Daniel Ragussis
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 6th 2016 (UK)

Movies like Imperium always have difficulty finding a wide audience, largely because people often tend to actively avoid uncomfortable truths. The fact is that is you make a movie about Muslim terrorists – people who for many western audiences are part of an undifferentiated ‘them’ – they’ll watch it, but those same people will shy away from a movie about the realities of things such as white supremacism, because they don’t want to be confronted with the fact that as big a danger might come from those who are supposedly part of ‘us’.

In the film, Daniel Radcliffe is FBI Agent Nate Foster, who’s been working on Islamic fundamentalist terrorism until he’s pulled aside by Angela Zamparo (Toni Collette), who wants him to go undercover into the white supremacist movement. The FBI knows that six canisters of radioactive material has gone missing, and their biggest clue is that a neo-Nazi radio host, Dallas Wolf (Tracy Letts), appears to know more than he ought to about it.

Now You See Me 2 (Blu-ray Review)

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzy Caplan, Woody Harrelson, Daniel Radcliffe
Director: Jon M. Chu
Running Time: 129 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: November 7th 2016 (UK)

2013’s Now You See Me proved a far bigger hit than most people expected, which has ensured we’ve now got a follow-up. After their Robin Hood exploits in the first movie, illusionists The Horsemen have been in hiding, waiting for ‘The Eye’ to tell them what they should do next. They also have a new member, with Lizzy Caplan’s Lula joining Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Jack (Dave Franco) and Merritt (Woody Harrelson), along with their leader, FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo).

They get an assignment to take down someone who’s destroying personal privacy, but their comeback goes wrong when they’re hacked, kidnapped and taken to Macau, China. There they meet Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe), who tells them that it was largely his money they stole in the first movie, and that they now have to do his bidding if they want to live. [Read more…]

Girls Lost (Cinema Review)

November 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Alexander Gustavsson, Emrik Ohlander, Louise Nyvall, Tuva Jagell, Wilma Holmen
Director: Alexandra-Therese Keining
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 4th 2016 (UK)

There have been quite a lot of films about people who have magically become a different gender to the one they were assigned at birth. However, most have failed because their ideas about gender were rather facile, and despite pretending otherwise they still treated the idea of a man becoming a woman or vice versa as a punchline. It’s great then to find a film that’s a bit smarter about a ‘gender swap’, which takes gender issues seriously and uses its magical setup to explore trans issues in an interesting and different way.

The movie follows teenagers Kim, Bella and Momo, who are the misfits of their school. They manage to grow a special flower, which when they drink its nectar, allows them to outwardly become boys. The nectar gives them a chance to experience life as young men, which includes both excitement and a feeling of power, but also confusion and the risk of violence. Bella and Momo enjoy their time as guys, but for them it’s a fun diversion. However, Kim increasingly begins to feel that being a man is right and who she should really be. [Read more…]
