After the massive success of The Conjuring, it’s no surprise that we’re getting a sequel. However it’s taken a while for it to be ready – so long that we’ve had time for the spin-off Annabelle in the meantime – but now we have a trailer for The Conjuring 2, which moves the action to Britain.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up In the Air,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Patrick Wilson (the “Insidious” films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.
‘The film follows the phenomenal worldwide reception of Wan’s “The Conjuring,” which marked the largest opening ever for an original horror movie. The film went on to make more than $319 million worldwide and still remains the second highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to “The Exorcist.”’
And in case you’re haunting, it is about the same case as the recent British TV show, The Enfield Haunting. The Conjuring 2 will be in cinemas in June.
A few weeks ago a teaser trailer for the much anticipated High-Rise dropped, but it didn’t show us too much of the movie, instead coming across as a faux promotional video for the retro-futuristic building referred to in the title. Now a more traditional teaser has arrived, suggesting this will be a bizarre but incredibly eye-catching movie.
Ireland’s official entry for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Academy Awards is actually set in Cuba, but as director Paddy Breathnach is Irish it could go on the Oscar shortlist. It’s also a queer-themed movie that looks like it’s be well worth a watch.
We’re big fans of Peccadillo’s gay short film collection, Boys On Film, which is returning soon with its 14th edition, World’s Collide, which they’re billing as ‘the most daring collection yet’. The newly released trailer suggests that might not just be hyperbole!
A new gay web series has launched its first episode, with LA-based comedian Brian Jordan Alvarez introducing us to the big gay life of Caleb Gallo. The 20-minute show is a lot of fun, taking a sideways look at gay life, where stereotypes are heightened and the tropes of homo life come under the spotlight.
Many actors would love to be playing Hamlet or starring in plays by the most lauded writers of our age, but are stuck in part-time jobs that have nothing to do with acting, or working for scale on corporate videos. But what if you weren’t prepared to put up with that, and where would the quest to fulfil your dreams take you? The short film Gatecrasher takes a look at that idea, and certainly leads to a tricky situation for the lead character.
While we said football above, I should probably point out for the benefit of any American visitors that we’re talking about ‘soccer’ here (alhough you you might have guessed that as we spelt ‘Colours’ properly). Colours is a new short film from 
In our latest bid at shamlessly lusting after the bodies of men of men we’ll never be able to touch (and will probably never meet), we’ve got a quiz for you! Which movie star’s chest is pictured above?
Ah Matt Bomer. I’m convinced the reason he hasn’t broken out to be a bigger star is that he’s so ridiculously good-looking that he doesn’t actually look like a real person. It’s like someone drew a picture of the world’s hottest guy and then brought it to life.
