Rings Trailer – Samara is back and being as creepy as ever

August 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rings-poster-slideWhile the US remake The Ring was a big success, its follow-up wasn’t so well received and it seemed that would be the last we’d see of the franchise. But as reboots are ridiculously popular, it’s coming back with Rings.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A new chapter in the beloved RING horror franchise.  A young woman becomes worried about her boyfriend when he explores a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape said to kill the watcher seven days after he has viewed it.  She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a “movie within the movie” that no one has ever seen before…’

Matilda Lutz, Alex Roe, Johnny Galecki, Aimee Teegarden, Bonnie Morgan and Vincent D’Onofrio star. You shouldn’t be too surprised to hear that it’ll be in cinemas at Halloween. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Manchester By The Sea Trailer – Casey Affleck becomes his nephew’s guardian in the acclaimed film

August 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

manchester-by-the-sea-slideManchester By The Sea got rave reviews when it debuted at Sundance, with some people immediately putting it in the Oscars race. Indeed, distributors Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions must agree, as they’ve given is an awards friendly November US release slot.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the death of his older brother Joe (Kyle Chandler), Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is shocked to learn that Joe has made him sole guardian of his nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Taking leave of his job, Lee reluctantly returns to Manchester-by-the-Sea to care for Patrick, a spirited 15-year-old, and is forced to deal with a past that separated him from his wife Randi (Michelle Williams) and the community where he was born and raised.   Bonded by the man who held their family together, Lee and Patrick struggle to adjust to a world without him. In his first film since 2011’s acclaimed Margaret, Lonergan once again proves himself a powerful and visionary storyteller as he seamlessly weaves past and present together, crafting a tension-filled tale that deftly eschews sentimentality in favor of penetrating emotional insight and deeply affecting human relationships.’

A trailer has now arrived. Take a look at it below. [Read more…]

Doug Liman To Direct Justice League Dark Movie, Dark Universe

August 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

doug-limanIt’s all change in the world of superheroes. In 2013 Guillermo Del Toro revealed he was working on a comic book movie set in the world of DC’s Justice League Dark. However, he left the director’s chair and decided only to produce.

Doug Liman meanwhile has been attached to helm Fox’s X-Men spin-off Gambit, starring Channing Tatum. He’s now left that movie behind and will be replacing Del Toro on the Justice League Dark film, which is now called Dark Universe.

The movie will revolve around a grittier, darker version of Justice League, with Variety suggesting the film will include John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon. However, exact plot details are being kept under wraps. Warner hopes that the movie will be a big part of their expanding DC Universe.

Win The Gay Themed Liebmann On DVD!

August 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Liebmann-dvd-coverThe gay-themed drama Liebmann is out on DVD in the UK now courtesy of TLA Releasing. We’ve teamed up with them to give away three copies in this competition!

Liebmann is a visually evocative, subtly emotive story of a man who must face the ghosts of his past before he can start a new life and engage in the possibility of true happiness.

Eager to leave behind his past in Germany, teacher Antek Liebmann rents a quaint house in the bucolic French countryside and takes a job in the town’s antique shop. The tranquil setting initially appears to be perfect for blending in and disappearing, but life in the rural enclave isn’t quite so simple.

Local hunters are a little trigger-happy, and if that doesn’t make the forest dangerous enough, apparently there is a serial killer stalking victims in the woods. And then there are the neighbours: single mother Genevieve, who is very welcoming, perhaps a little too much so, especially considering Liebmann seems more intrigued by the scruffy and sweet Sébastien, a customer at the antique shop.

No one realizes that Antek has left behind a terrible secret in his own country. The discovery of a mysterious artists’ residency on the edge of town and the arrival of an unexpected visitor from Germany help Liebmann face his past and offer a way out of the darkness.

To be in with a chance of winning The Wave on Blu-ray that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on September 6th, 2016, so get answering and good luck. [Read more…]

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders Trailer – Adam West & Burt Ward are back as Batman & Robin

August 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-return-of-the-caped-crusadersIt’s 50 years since Adam West and Burt Ward became a massive hit as TV’s psychedelic Batman and Robin. Now they’re back, but rather than having to squeeze into Lycra (or whatever passed for Lycra in the 60s), this time around it’s an animated movie that’s coming to DVD, Blu-ray and VoD.

A trailer has arrived which shows us this will be a return to the humour and look of the classic Batman, which is rather different from the grittier, animated Caped Crusader films we’ve had recently.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘It’s back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. This time, the four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!”’

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

New La La Land Teaser – Emma Stone Sings & Ryan Gosling smiles in the new musical

August 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

la-la-land-slide2With a couple of teaser trailer, La La Land has become one of the most intriguing and interesting looking movies of the year. That’s certainly true with this teaser, which features Emma Stone singing a rather charming song, and plenty of great, stylised footage.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Damien Chazelle, LA LA LAND tells the story of Mia [Emma Stone], an aspiring actress, and Sebastian [Ryan Gosling], a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams.

John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt, Finn Wittrock, Callie Hernandez, Sonoya Mizuno, Jessica Rothe, Tom Everett Scott and Josh Pence also star, with Whiplash’s Damien Chazelle writing and directing. Take a look at the new teaser below. [Read more…]

Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey Trailer – Terrence Malick goes into earth’s past & future

August 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Voyage-of-Time-slideAfter Terrence Malick shot a huge amount of footage for the bits of The Tree Of Life that went into Earth’s past and the natural world, it was revealed it was working on a documentary, based around that footage. As it’s Malick’s way, it’s taken him a while to put it together, but a 45-minute version debuted earlier this year (narrated by Brad Pitt), which will be getting an IMAX release later this year.

There’s also a 90-minute version, with a voiceover by Cate Blanchett, which has just debuted a beautiful and slightly hallucinatory new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The unfolding of the universe takes place before your eyes, in this experience for the senses, mind and soul. A labor of passion by director Terrence Malick (Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life), Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey is an exploration into our planetary past and a search for humanity’s place in the future. Humming with the energy of nature itself, the film melds innovative special effects with awe-inspiring footage from around the globe, in search of what lasts, what endures through time’s changing scenes.

‘What does it mean, after all those eons, to be us, here, now?

‘The action traces the scientific chronology of earth, from the birth of the stars to the explosion of new life, to the planet-altering debut of humankind. Malick invites audiences to probe past, present and future in intimate ways. Working with a team of scientific advisors and visual effects artists led by Dan Glass (The Tree of Life, Batman Begins, The Matrix Reloaded) the film shows an array of never-witnessed natural phenomena – celestial and terrestrial, macroscopic and microscopic – in a variety of new ways. The fierce geology of the early planet. The first cells, growing, dividing, exploring every niche open to them. The coming of fish, forests, dinosaurs and our own species with its need to reckon with everything – all this transforms into a hymn to nature, life and the universe. No two people will have the same experience.’ [Read more…]

Max Steel Trailer – A shirtless Ben Winchell brings the Hasbro superhero to life

August 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

max-steel-film-pic1-slideMax Steel is certainly taking its time. The first pics from the movie were released over two years ago, but we’re still waiting for a release. That’s hopefully changing though, with the first trailer arriving from Japan.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Max Steel is an in-depth “origin” story packed with captivating characters and fast-paced action. The plot chronicles the adventures of Max McGrath and his mother have just moved back to Copper Canyon, the town in which Max’s scientist father died in a mysterious accident shortly after Max was born. As Max adjusts to his new school, things get complicated when his body starts to generate strange energy flare-ups that he can’t control.

‘At first a confusing mix of inconvenient and exhilarating, this unpredictable power eventually grows too intense for Max to handle, causing him to distance himself from those around him including the girl he likes, Sofia. Eventually the energy pushes him to the verge of fatal combustion. In the nick of time, a techno-organic extraterrestrial named Steel, who has been secretly monitoring Max’s progress, saves him just before he loses consciousness. The two discover that when joined together they can control the energy and harness it into superhuman strength – and that when apart, neither can survive for long.

‘As these two unlikely friends learn to accept their connected fates, they begin to uncover secrets surrounding the death of Max’s father. As they dig deeper, they soon find themselves hunted by an unforeseen enemy bent on capturing Max and Steel for a sinister agenda of destruction. Uncertain who to trust, they will have to work together to find the truth, and fight the mysterious forces threatening our world.’

An October US cinema release is planned, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

Boys On Film 15: Time & Tied (DVD Review)

August 22, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tommy Knight, Ceallach Spellman, Ashley Campbell, Ashley Ryder, Nigel Allen
Director: Various
Running Time: 136 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: August 22nd 2016 (UK)

Having taken us all around the world, Boys On Film returns to Britain for its 15th outing, Time & Tied. However, while sticking with one country, it doesn’t skimp on the quality, showing there’s a hell of a lot of good gay-themed short films being made in the UK.

Boys On Film 15 presents nine shorts which range from the award-winning Closets and the sexy, provocative G’Oclock, to time capsule of Polari that is Putting On The Dish, and a film many thought we’d never see, Trouser Bar.

But are they worth watching? Take a look below for our thoughts. And you can see what we think of other Boys On Film releases here. [Read more…]

Liebmann (DVD Review)

August 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Godehard Giese, Adeline Moreau, Fabien Ara, Bettina Grahs, Alain Denizart
Director: Jules Herrmann
Running Time: 82 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: August 22nd 2016 (UK)

Antek Liebmann leaves his home in Germany and rents a cottage in an idyllic French town. While he seems to have a few problems, he begins build a new life for himself, befriending a local woman, starting a relationship with a cute local guy and getting a job at an antique/second-hand shop. However, he has trouble sleeping and freaks out when he hears a hunter’s gunshot in the woods. Then a visit from a friend from Germany reveals why he left his old life behind and why he’s so troubled.

In cinema, there’s a fine line between someone seeming intriguingly troubled, and someone who just comes across as boring. And that’s where Liebmann’s problems lie. While there are periodic hints as to the fact there’s mystery around why Antek is the way he is, for much of the time it could just as easily be the problem that he’s slightly rude and dull. Too often the films tips from broodingly attempting to keep to us hooked to find out more about the main character, and just making him seem pretty tedious. Add in some slightly jarring moments of pretentious artsiness and a sequence of whimsy that seems to fall out of nowhere, and it’s a film that definitely tries hard, but will test many people’s patience.

Jane Got A Gun (Blu-ray Review)

August 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, Ewan McGregor, Boyd Holbrook, Roland Emmerich
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Running Time: 98 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: August 22nd 2016 (UK)

Jane Got A Gun has had a few problems. That included a revolving door of actors getting involved and then backing out (including the likes of Jude Law, Michael Fassbender and Bradley Cooper), and director Lynn Ramsey leaving the production so late in the day that they didn’t know she was gone until she didn’t turn up for the first day of shooting. She was quickly replaced by Gavin O’Connor, who didn’t have a huge amount of time to prepare, which may explain why Jane Got A Gun isn’t all it might have been.

Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) is a woman living on the rough, tough, wild west frontier of 19th Century America. Her husband (Roland Emmerich) returns home riddled with bullets after a confrontation with the violent Bishop Boys gang, led by the brutal John (Ewan McGregor). They know the Boys are going to want to track him down to finish off the job. Jane decides she needs help and so decides to enlist her ex-lover, Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton). [Read more…]

Meet The ‘Unfunny Gay Guys’ In An Entertaining New Skit

August 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

unfunny-gay-guysA lot of us have met people who like to take being gay to the max, and who think they’re witty and edgy by making the answer to every question somehow gay and sexual. Well, if you thought you were the only one who knew people like that, the great online skit Unfunny Gay Guys is here to show you that you’re not.

It’s about a couple of gay guys (played by Trey Gerrald and Tim Murray) who treat their sexuality like it’s a full time job, trying to add the words ‘top’, ‘bottom’ and ‘poppers’ into every sentence they speak, because they’re convinced that will make what they say hilarious and shocking. However, the likes of Max Emerson and Matteo Lane show up to suggest that perhaps they’re a little too much.

Take a look at the Unfunny Gay Guys below, and then deal with the contradiction in this context they’re actually both unfunny and funny at the same time. Mimosas anyone? [Read more…]
