Dirty Grandpa Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & Robert De Niro get a little bit naughty

November 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dirty-grandpa-red-band-slideA couple of weeks ago we had a trailer for Dirty Grandpa, but now the red band version is here to let us know that Robert De Niro is going to swear a lot in the finished movie, and that Zac Efron’s CGI undies from the first promo won’t be around in the final article.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jason Kelly [Zac Efron] is one week away from marrying his boss’s uber-controlling daughter, putting him on the fast track for a partnership at the law firm. However, when the straight-laced Jason is tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandfather, Dick [Robert De Niro], to Daytona for spring break, his pending nuptials are suddenly in jeopardy.

‘Between riotous frat parties, bar fights, and an epic night of karaoke, Dick is on a quest to live his life to the fullest and bring Jason along for the ride. Ultimately, on the wildest journey of their lives, “dirty” Grandpa and his uptight grandson discover they can learn from one another and form the bond they never had.’

The movie will be in UK cinemas on January 22nd.

A Monster Calls Teaser Trailer – Liam Neeson becomes a talking tree monster

November 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

a-monster-calls-pic1Liam Neeson is doing something a little different from the Taken and Non-Stop action-fests he’s been best known for in the last few years, as he’s becoming a tree creature with A Monster Calls. J.A. Bayona directs the movie, based on the novel by Patrick Ness.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A visually spectacular drama from acclaimed director Juan Antonio Bayona (“The Impossible”), based on the award-winning children’s fantasy novel. 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) attempts to deal with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) illness and the bullying of his classmates by escaping into a fantastical world of monsters and fairy tales that explore courage, loss, and faith.’

We’ve got a long time to wait for this strange but intriguing looking movie, as it’s not due out until autumn 2016, but you can get your first taste with the teaser trailer below.

Crush Of The Day: Former Child Star Gregg Sulkin Shows Off His Hot Bod & Some VPL For Flaunt

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gregg-sulkin-flaunt-pic5-slideYou don’t really expect former child stars to be showing off VPL (Visible Penis Line) in photshoots, but Wizards Of Waverley Place’s Gregg Sulkin seem to have to no such qualms – perhaps he should have watched Max Emerson’s great guide on how to avoid it while modelling underwear.

Since Waverley Place, the British-born Sulkin has successfully transitioned into more grown-up fare such as MTV’s Faking It and Pretty Little Liars, and it would appear he’s also been spending a lot of the time in the gym.

Gregg is looking extremely good, whether he’s wearing clothes or showing how well he can pack out some Armani underwear. The pics below were taken for Flaunt, a publication which has an impressive ability to find celebs willing to show some skin in their photoshoots (and now it looks like Details is ceasing publication, it’s one of the few mags left with the clout get these sorts of shoots).

Enjoy the images below.

Now You See Me 2 Teaser Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe tries a different kind of magic

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

now-you-see-me-2-pic1-slideOh the hilarity, Daniel Radcliffe is rubbish at magic! Let’s not hope that’s the whole joke with Now You See Me 2 (I presume it’s not), but this teaser trailer seems to love the idea of it.

Here’s the sequel’s synopsis: ‘THE FOUR HORSEMEN [Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan] return for a second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe.

‘One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than WALTER MABRY [Daniel Radcliffe], a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet.

‘Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.’

The film hits cinemas next June.

Aya Arcos Trailer – A middle-aged man falls for a gay hustler in Rio

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

aya-arcos-slide1South America really does seem to have a knack for making great gay-themed movies, and hopefully that will continue with the Brazilian movie Aya Arcos.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Maximilian Moll’s first feature film, AYA ARCOS, roams with its two unequal heroes around a never-cooling Rio de Janeiro, a city in which beauty and melancholy, life’s ease and its difficulty, often go side by side. Edu, a successful author, falls in love with 21-year- old hustler Fabio.

‘Their relationship is wild and passionate. Fabio enjoys his carefree life. Their sex is unprotected and, to Edu’s mind, much too dangerous. But it becomes increasingly clear to the older of the two that he has always shied away from love. A human being is a cheap spectacle is what he believes. Much too late he now discovers what it means to live for the moment.’

The film will be released on DVD in the UK in January by TLA Releasing.

Happy Birthday, Marsha! Trailer – Tangerine’s Mya Taylor takes on a Stonewall legend, and the film needs your help

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

happy-birthday-marshaRoland Emmerich’s much-maligned Stonewall isn’t the only movie around about the events that took place in New York in 1969 that helped kick off the modern gay-rights movement, as Reina Gossett and Sasha Wortzel have been making Happy Birthday, Marsha!, starring breakout Tangerine star, Mya Taylor.

The film will be seen by many as a welcome antidote to Stonewall, which was hugely criticised by those who believed it white-washed the riots and under-represented the contribution of trans people, as Happy Birthday, Marsha! is about the elgendary Marsha P. Johnson.

It’s a fairly unique film as both its main star and screenwriter are trans women of color. However, the complete the movie and Indiegogo campaign has been launched, which is hoping to raise $30,000 to help with post-production costs.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Happy Birthday, Marsha! (HBDM!) is a film about legendary transgender artist and activist, Marsha “Pay it No Mind” Johnson and her life in the hours before the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City.

‘The film is written, directed and produced by Reina Gossett and Sasha Wortzel. We are artists and activists who have been sharing the story of trans activists, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, for nearly a decade.

‘It’s been 46 years since the Stonewall Rebellion yet the leading role that street queens, people doing sex work, trans women of color and gender non-conforming people had during the riots hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. Rarely do marginalized people drive stories about themselves on-screen, but this project is different. Happy Birthday, Marsha! is written, produced and directed by a trans woman of color, and will be the first of its kind to reach a wide audience.’

So take a look at the trailer below, and if you like what you see, head over to Indiegogo. [Read more…]

The Huntsman: Winter’s War Trailer – Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron head back to a fantasy world

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

huntsman-winters-war-character-poster5-slideAfter some character posters a couple of days ago (and some new ones you can see below), comes the trailer for the sequel, The Huntsman: Winter’s War. Snow White (Kristen Stewart) is gone, but both Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are back, joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The fantastical world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands to reveal how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined. Chris Hemsworth and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron return to their roles in The Huntsman Winter’s War, an epic action-adventure in which they are joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, as well as director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Producer Joe Roth (Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland) once again leads the team in a breathtaking new tale nested in the legendary saga.

‘Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.

‘When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.’

The movie hits UK cinemas April 22nd. [Read more…]

Zoolander 2 Trailer – Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson are being beautiful once more

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zoolander-2-poster1-slideIt’s been a long wait, but Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson back in male model mode for Zoolander 2, and now we have the first full trailer for the movie.

The duo are beginning to realise that they aren’t as young as they once were – something that is pretty much fatal in their profession – and also that the world of fashion has changed from the one they once knew. That includes Benedict Cumberbatch as a model who goes beyond androgynous.

There is a problem though, someone is out killing celebrities including Demi Lovato, Usher, Justin Bieber, Lenny Kravitz, and Miley Cyrus, all of whom have died with one of Derek Zoolander’s signature looks on their face.

Kristen Wiig (who’s almost unrecognisable) and many more star.

Take a look at the trailer below, and expect the movie in cinemas on February 12th, 2016.

Sleeping around in the city that never sleeps was never so much fun.

‘HOW TO BE SINGLE stars Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey), Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect), Damon Wayans, Jr. (Let’s Be Cops), Anders Holm (Bad Neighbours, The Intern), Alison Brie (Get Hard), Nicholas Braun (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Jake Lacy (HBO’s Girls), with Jason Mantzoukas (Bad Neighbours, TV’s The League) and Leslie Mann (This is 40).

Sydney’s Mardi Gras Film Festival Announces Seven Aussie Premieres For Its 23rd Edition

November 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

How-to-Win-at-Checkers-(Every-Time)2

How to Win at Checkers (Every Time)

The 23rd Mardi Gras Film Festival from Queer Screen promises to set hearts beating and pulses racing in Sydney next year, with a raft of exciting Australian premieres, award winners and an Oscar contender, which have been announced as part of its teaser program.

The Festival will open on Thursday 18 February with the Australian premiere of the sensual French film Summertime. Other Australian premieres to be screened include the hauntingly beautiful Thai Oscar entry for 2016 How to Win at Checkers (Every Time), Addicted to Fresno starring Natasha Lyonne, the captivating Venezuelan lesbian film Liz in September, and Coming In, a comedy from the director and star of gay classic Summer Storm.

Remembering the Man, a new documentary of the tragic tale of Australian lovers Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo, will make its Sydney debut at the Festival.

Running from 18 February to 3 March 2016 at Event Cinemas George Street and other venues, this year’s festival promises to deliver something for everyone.

“2016 is a universal festival and caters for everyone under the rainbow,” explains Festival Director Paul Struthers. “Film subjects range from athletes and dancers to local heroes and features straight, gay, lesbian, trans, and bi-sexual characters from across the world. Whatever genre you are into from lighthearted comedies to surreal horror we have it covered. It’s definitely our most wide-ranging and exciting festival yet”.

The Opening Night film Summertime, follows farm girl Delphine as she heads to the bright lights of Paris to create her own life during the dawn of 1970s activism in France. Screened recently at the highly esteemed Toronto International Film Festival, and winner of the Variety Piazza Grande Award at the Locarno International Film Festival, this sensual film will move everyone who sees it.

Further exploring the relationship between Australians Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo as detailed in Holding the Man, Remembering the Man is a bittersweet documentary featuring previously unseen footage of John Caleo and looks at Timothy’s life after John.  This film was the winner of Most Popular Documentary at the Adelaide Film Festival.

Genre fans won’t want to miss multi award winning Everlasting Love, Spain’s answer to Stranger in the Lake but even weirder. A winner at LA’s Outfest, this film is set in the woods in the wake of a grizzly murder, so why can’t the cruisers keep away?

The Thai entry for the 2016 Oscars, How to Win at Checkers (Every Time), is a stunning drama about a young boy who worries about losing his openly gay brother to the army draft. A compelling and beautiful film, which recently played at the Berlin International Film Festival, it’s easy to see why this was chosen to represent the country on the international stage.

Game Face is a must-see documentary exploring the lives of LGBT athletes. Featuring transgender lesbian MMA fighter Fallon Fox who competes in a less- than-trans-friendly environment and Terrence Clemens coming out as a college basketballer, this documentary brings us up close and personal with the athletes during their most challenging times.

Orange is the New Black’s Natasha Lyonne and Jamie Babbit re-join forces to bring us the comedy Addicted to Fresno that premiered at Sundance. Featuring sex and murder, the movie looks at how far you will go for sisterhood.

Coming In, a new comedy from the director and star of gay classic Summer Storm explores what happens when a hip gay hairdresser at the top of his game falls in love with a woman.

Documentarian Jack Walsh brings us a funny and frank look at the life of revolutionary choreographer, artist, filmmaker and feminist Yvonne Rainer as she goes through political, professional and personal struggles in Feeling are Facts: the Life of Yvonne Rainer.

The striking supermodel and actor Patricia Velásquez comes to the screen in the Venezuelan lesbian film Liz in September. Winner of the audience award at Miami’s queer film festival, this film is captivating and touchingly real.

Featuring some of the hottest sex scenes from any LGBTIQ film this year, Beautiful Something is a sexy and tender glimpse into life for the contemporary gay man as the stories of Brian a poet and Jim, an actor intertwine.

The full Festival program will be launched on Thursday 14 January.

Tickets for the first 10 films are on sale now including flexi passes to 5 or 10 films. Visit queerscreen.org.au for more info.

Pretty Boy (Short Film Review)

November 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Nick Eversman, Rebekah Tripp, Jon Briddell
Director: Cameron Thrower
Running Time: 31 mins
Certificate: NA

18-years-old Sean’s father takes him to visit a prostitute so that he can lose his virginity. The young man is nervous, shy and seemingly unsure whether he wants to go through with it or not. It soon transpires that the reason Sean is there is because his father found gay magazines in his bedroom, and the strongly Christian dad thinks that visiting a hooker will turn his son into a ‘man’.

Although the prostitute, Katie, isn’t initially all that good at putting Sean at ease, as he reveals more about himself and the reason he’s there, a bond begins to form between them and Katie takes him under her wing. However, Sean’s dad is waiting outside and keen to know that his son is getting what he’d been paid for. [Read more…]
