The Way He Looks (Cinema Review)

October 23, 2014 By Scott Elliott Leave a Comment

Starring: Ghilherme Lobo, Fabio Audi, Tess Amorim
Director: Daniel Ribiero
Running Time: 96 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: October 24th 2014 (UK)

The Way He Looks is Daniel Ribiero’s masterful treatment of his Iris Prize 2012-winning short, and in what might be a rare case, the extended version is at least as good as the original short – indeed it won the Teddy Award for Best LGBT movie at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

As blind Leo (Gilherme Lobo) begins to grow into young manhood, his best friend Giovanna (Tess Amorim), who looks out for him, starts to get in his way, so he begins to plan an exchange trip abroad. However, when a new classmate called Gabriel (Fabio Audi) arrives, the three become friends and Leo begins to consider revising his plans. As the bond between Leonardo and Gabriel deepens, they start to realise there’s something beyond friendship brewing, but must also battle the social pressures of girls and drinking and schoolmates.

Avengers: Age Of Utron Teaser Trailer – Heroes old and new unite

October 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-poster1We weren’t meant to get the Avengers: Age Of Utron teaser until next week, but after the trailer leaked Marvel quickly decided that rather than trying to put the genie back in the bottle they’d go with it and release official versions.

It’s certainly a big one, offering a great look at the movie, including new heroes such as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, along with plenty of creepily robotic bad guys and an Iron Man who looks like tank. It also suggests things won’t go well for everyone, and that even an adamantium shield may not protect you.

And and keep an eye out for this shot:

avengers-age-of-ultron-chris-hemsworth-shirtless

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

‘Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on April, 2015.’ [Read more…]

Rob Cantor Defeats A Murderous, Cannibal Shia LaBeouf With The Help Of The Gay Men’s Chorus Of Los Angeles – Live

October 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

shia-labeouf-liveWe all know that Shia LaBeouf has been having an, erm, unusual year, with his penchant for wearing paper bags on his heads, sitting in rooms silently as an art installation, getting thrown out of a theater for being a bit nuts and then heading off to rehab.

However what many don’t know is that he’s also a bloodthirsty, murderous, serial killing cannibal. Musician and comedian Rob Cantor tried to tell us this a few years ago with the song ‘Shia LaBeouf’, and to help spread the message he’s now gone live with the tune in a rather spectacular way.

He’s even enlisted the help of The Gay Men’s Chorus Of Los Angeles, The West L.A. Children’s Choir and the Argus Quartet, all performing the song for one special audience member. You can take a look at it below.

It’s a bit bizarre and a huge amount of fun, and the ending even gets you wondering whether the tune is now more of a statement about the actor than it was when it was first written (not that he really is a cannibal, of course). [Read more…]

My Gay Roommate – Season 3, Ep 7: Partners In Crime – It’s time for a musical finale

October 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

my-gay-roommate-s3-ep7I have to say I suspected that My Gay Roommate would go off the boil with Season 3, mainly as Nick getting a new roommate seemed to be a major change that could have easily ruined things. Instead though it’s been better than it ever has, with plenty of wit, wonderful surreal moments and an often surprisingly smart take on modern gay/straight life.

However now it’s time to bid the show farewell for a while, as the final episode of Season 3 is here.

And it’s time for gay Nick and straight Ed to take stock – with all the madness that’s been going on around them, they haven’t really had time to think about whether living together is working out. But when their S&M ‘monster’ leaves, they have to decide whether they should remain roomies and that if they do, perhaps together they could both reach new heights.

And there’s even time for a musical number!

Take a look at the new episode below, and you can catch up on the rest of Season 3 by clicking here. [Read more…]

Go-Go Boy Interrupted Eps. 2 & 3 – Danny deals with life outside the gay nightclubs

October 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

go-go-boy-interrupted-episode-2A few weeks ago we posted the first episode of the fun new web series Go-Go Boy Interrupted, and now we’ve got the next two installments, which follow the adventures of Danny, a 29-year-old go-go boy who suddenly finds himself fired from his job and having to make his way in the world. However gyrating for randy gay club-goers doesn’t necessarily offer a lot of transferable skills.

In Episode 2 Danny is still up to his go-go boy tricks of blacking out and isn’t 100% sure who the man he wakes up in bed with is. That’s followed by ‘It’s Not Confidential’, where his exercise session is interrupted by people letting him know that’s he’s being talked about and not in a nice way.

Jimmy Fowlie’s series is a lot of fun, based on his own life where he danced while pursuing an acting degree. Go-Go Boy Interrupted then became a live sketch show at an LA theater and has now made the transition to Youtube.

If you need to catch up, you can watch episode 1 here, and then view eps. 2 and 3 below. [Read more…]

The Woman in Black: Angel of Death Trailer – Jeremy Irvine is the new Daniel Radcliffe

October 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

woman-in-black-2-jeremy-irvineWe’ve had a couple of teaser trailers for The Woman in Black: Angel of Death, and now we get the first proper, full trailer for the follow-up to the movie that became the most successful chiller in UK box office history.

There’s no Daniel Radcliffe this time around, with Phoebe Fox, Helen McCrory starring instead, along with the hotness that is Jeremy Irvine.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘England, 1941 With London in the midst of the blitz, two teachers evacuate a group of schoolchildren to the abandoned Eel Marsh House. Seeking safety from the bombs in the remote coastal location, the group instead find themselves facing an evil far more frightening when their arrival awakens the Woman in Black.’

The film is due out in the UK on January 1st, 2015. [Read more…]

The Gambler Red Band Teaser – Mark Wahlberg enters a dangerous world

October 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Gambler-poster1The first teaser for The Gambler – starring Mark Wahlberg, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Michael Kenneth Williams and Jessica Lange – has arrived. It’s a bit of a change of director for Wahlberg after Transformers 4 and for director Rupert Wyatt, whose last movie was Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jim Bennett (Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg) is a risk taker. Both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster (Michael Kenneth Williams) and offers his own life as collateral. Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring (Alvin Ing) and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother (Academy Award®-winner Jessica Lange) in his wake. He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank (John Goodman), a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett’s future. As his relationship with a student (Brie Larson) deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance…’

It’s out in the US in December but no official UK release date has been set yet. Take a look at the teaser trailer below. [Read more…]

Johnny Depp’s Wolf Revealed In Into The Woods Pics

October 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

into-the-woods-ew-cover1The teaser trailer and images we’ve had so far for Into The Woods have been keen to keep us guessing about what Johnny Depp’s big bad Wolf will look like. However the mystery is over as he’s appears on one of the four Into The Woods covers of the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy)—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them.

‘Rob Marshall, the talented filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” helms the film, which is based on the Tony®-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics. Produced by Marshall, John DeLuca, “Wicked” producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall, “Into the Woods” hits UK cinemas Jan, 9 2015.’

Win Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom – Season 2 On DVD!

October 21, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

newsroom-s2-dvd-coverThe Newsroom: The Complete Second Season is available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download in the UK from 27th October 2014. Get the autocue prepared and the microphones checked for another bulletin from the ever-changing and politically fuelled world of cable news network ‘ACN’, where the sources aren’t always as trustworthy as they seem. And we’ve got two copies of the DVD box set to give aways.

Nominated for three Emmy®  Awards and two Golden Globe®  Awards, the HBO drama series was created by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing) and stars Jeff Daniels (Looper, Speed) as network anchor Will McAvoy, alongside Emily Mortimer (Shutter Island, Hugo) as his executive producer Mackenzie McHale.

The Newsroom: The Complete Second Season welcomes back familiar faces in the news team including; Margaret Jordan (Alison Pill; Scott Pilgrim vs the World), Sloan Sabbith (Olivia Munn; Iron Man 2, Magic Mike), Neal Sampat (Dev Patel; Slumdog Millionaire), news-division boss Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston; Law & Order) and formidable Leona Lansing as the CEO of Atlantic World Media, (played by Jane Fonda; The Butler), as they set out on a long journey to change the network’s attitude to news.

As season two develops it’s clear that the format has taken a slight twist. While each episode continues to focus on a major piece of news, there’s also a series-long storyline dealing with a piece of misreporting from Will and his team, with the potential to decimate the entire channel and its staff.

The Newsroom: The Complete Second Season uses recent real-life events to show how a news channel would cover big stories, gather facts, and find witnesses. The result is one of the most immersive television shows ever made, lauded on both sides of the Atlantic for its smart, balanced take on issues of the day.

If you’d like to try and win one of the two copies of The Newsroom: The Complete Second Season on DVD that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on November 3rd 2014, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

October 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fringe-2014The feature films, short films, exhibitions, events and workshops that will be showcased at the fourth outing for East London’s Fringe! Queer Film and Arts Festival, has been announced. And this year, thanks to the support of Arts Council England and Film Hub London, the festival will extend from a long weekend to a week-long festival, running from November 3rd-9th November.

The art strand will open with a joint private view of punk art installation Pauline Boudry / Renate Laurent: No Future/No Past and RCA Queer: Skin/Cells on 4th November. The heart-warming documentary Peter de Rome: Grandfather of Gay Porn opens the film festival on November 6th, with a drinks reception, followed by a Q&A with the film-makers. The closing night, in partnership with London and Sydney-based online film viewing and discovery platform FilmDoo, sees the premier of Finnish film Open Up To Me at the Hackney Picturehouse on 9th November.

Fringe! inclues UK premieres such as Naomi Campbel, an experimental film following a trans* woman who turns to reality TV for surgery and Out in the Night, a doc following a group of friends whose New York night out ends with them being branded a ‘gang of killer lesbians’. Something In Between, a personal political doc about transition and Popular Education Terror, a post-gender DIY musical odyssey, will get their international premieres. Also screening will be the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Annual Academy Awards, the acclaimed The Circle.

The Visual Arts programme will showcase work created especially for Fringe! including Jeffrey Hinton’s new project Willy Nilly, as well as a retrospective of the work of Stuart Sandford. Other exhibitions include Ken. To Be Destroyed by Sara Davidmann, previously shown at homotopia and further developed especially for Fringe!

A specially curated programme ‘There’s a Dyke In The Pit’ will pay tribute to the queercore and Riot Grrrl movements through a day of film, conversation and live music, culminating in a screening of Jill Reiter’s ‘lost film’ In Search of Margo-go starring Kathleen Hanna.

Fringe! takes place in a range of venues across including the Hackney Picturehouse, Rio Cinema, the Rose Lipman Building – this year’s festival hub, Forge & Co, Looking Glass Cocktail Club, Dalston Superstore and more.
