New Early Man Trailer – Aardman’s Nick Park takes us back to stop motion caveman times

December 19, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Nick Park is the man who helped put Aardman on the map with his Oscar winning Wallace & Gromit Shorts, Creature Comforts (another Oscar winner) and Chicken Run. However, his painstaking stop motion approach means it takes a long time for him to finish a film. His last directorial effort was the Wallace & Gromit short A Matter Of Loaf & Death, back in 2008.

Now though, he’s returning with Early Man.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘EARLY MAN is the new prehistoric comedy adventure from four-time Academy Award-winning director Nick Park and AARDMAN, the creators of WALLACE AND GROMIT and SHAUN THE SHEEP. Shot in Aardman’s own distinctive style, the film will take audiences on an extraordinary journey into an exciting new world unleashing an unforgettable tribe of unique and funny new characters voiced by an all-star British cast.

‘Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures roamed the earth, EARLY MAN tells the story of courageous caveman hero Dug (EDDIE REDMAYNE) and his best friend Hognob as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy Lord Nooth (TOM HIDDLESTON) and his Bronze Age City to save their home.’

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

Dunkirk (Blu-ray Review) – Christopher Nolan goes to war in impressive fashion

December 18, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Fionn Whitehead, Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy
Director: Christopher Nolan
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 18th 2017 (UK)

Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors who can pretty much make any movie he wants. Thanks to the success of unconventional big budget movies such as Interstellar and Inception – and of course The Dark Knight trilogy – Warner Bros. trusts him to deliver. On the surface Dunkirk seems a more straightforward proposition as it’s a World War II movie, but as this is Nolan, he’s not going to make a war film quite like anyone else.

For a start there’s remarkably little dialogue and while there are main characters, we learn comparatively little about them. Likewise, while it’s about an incredibly famous event, it’s not interested in being an exposition-heavy historical overview, complete with officers pushing little boats around a war-room map to explain to us what’s going on. Instead it’s a film that wants to create a sense of realism about the events it’s talking about. It also has an almost puzzle-box nature – three intercut stories each taking place at a slightly different time – helping to create a sense of the chaos and uncertainty for those caught up in the events of late Spring 1940.

Annihilation Trailer – Natalie Portman heads back to sci-fi for director Alex Garland

December 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Beach author Alex Garland proved he was a very capable director with Ex Machina. Now he’s returning with a female-led sci-fi trip into a strange place where the normal rules of nature don’t apply.

The movie sees Portman as a biologist who agrees to go on a mission into a zone know as The Shimmer. Her husband (Oscar Isaac) went on a previous mission into the region and was the only thing to return – but in a coma. Heading in she discovers a place full of strange creatures and things that don’t appear as if they are possible.

Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, Annihilation also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson and Tuva Novotny. It’ll be released in US cinemas in February, while Netflix will stream it many other countries (inlcuding the UK) from early March. [Read more…]

She was kept hidden away in various manors for over 18 years, becoming an increasing problem, especially as many English Catholics viewed her as the legitimate queen. Eventually she was implicated in a plot to overthrow Elizabeth and executed. Josie Rourke directs from a script by Beau Willimon (House Of Cards).

New Insidious: The Last Key Trailer – Things are getting creepily paranormal once more

December 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After Insidious Chapters 2 and 3, the people behind the franchise have decided to ditch the chapters and call the fourth movie, Insidious: The Last Key. That’s probably a good thing, as Chapter 3 was actually a prequel to the first two movies, while this is a sequel to that prequel (and yes, that is a bit complicated).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The creative minds behind the hit Insidious trilogy return for INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY. In the horror, which welcomes back franchise standout Lin Shaye as Dr. Elise Rainier, the brilliant parapsychologist faces her most fearsome and personal haunting yet: in her own family home.

‘The film is written by co-creator Leigh Whannell (Saw), who wrote the trilogy and directed Chapter 3; produced by Insidious regulars Jason Blum (The Purge series, Get Out), Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) and co-creator James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7); and directed by series newcomer Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan).’

The film will be out in UK cinemas on January 12th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Final Bright Trailer – Netflix’s Will Smith starring fantasy police procedural is coming soon

December 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Bright is one of Netflix’s biggest gambits yet – a $90 million, fantasy thriller, with a major star (Will Smith) that they’ve bought the worldwide release rights. Unlike Amazon, which has given a full cinema release to some of the movies it has backed, Netflix is only planning a limited theatrical release for Bright and only once it’s already streaming via their service.

A new trailer for the film has been released, which suggest it’ll be a strange but potentially pretty good movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set in an alternate present-day, this action-thriller directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch, writer of Training Day) follows two cops from very different backgrounds. Ward, a human (Will Smith), and Jakoby, an orc (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine night patrol that will alter the future of their world as they know it. Battling both their own personal differences as well as an onslaught of enemies, they must work together to protect a deadly, thought-to-be-forgotten relic, which in the wrong hands could destroy everything.

‘The Netflix original film stars Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Noomi Rapace, Lucy Fry, Edgar Ramirez, Ike Barinholtz, Enrique Murciano, Jay Hernandez, Andrea Navedo, Veronica Ngo, Alex Meraz, Margaret Cho, Brad William Henke, Dawn Olivieri, and Kenneth Choi. The film is directed by David Ayer and written by Max Landis. David Ayer, Eric Newman, and Bryan Unkeless serve as producers.’

Bright will be on Netflix from December 22nd. [Read more…]

First Look At Taron Egerton & Jamie Foxx In Robin Hood

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There have been successful Robin Hood movies and failed Robin Hood movies, but he’s a character that Hollywood never gives up on. A new take is on it’s way, which focuses on a slightly younger Robin than we’re used to (it was previously titled ‘Robin Hood: Origins’ but is now just plain Robin Hood), in the form of Taron Egerton.

The first images from the film have been released, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Robin Hood (Taron Egerton) a war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander (Jamie Foxx) mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance.​’

The cast of the film also includes Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlet, Eve Hewson as Maid Marian, Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck and Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham. The movie is due in cinemas September 2018. [Read more…]

Call Me By Your Name Picks Up Three Golden Globe Nominations – See The Full List

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It still seems wrong that it’s not even the end of the year – with multiple major movies still to be released – but critics groups and awards ceremonies are already announcing their nominations and winners for the best films of the year. It’s largely due to the fact that a few years ago the Oscars decided to move closer to the start of the year, so all the other ceremonies and announcements also moved their dates up, many into early/mid-December.

Today one of the main bellweathers for the Oscar race was announced, the Golden Globe nominations. They were led by The Shape Of Water, which picked up seven nominations. It was a stronger showing than many expected, especially as it was competing in the Drama section (rather than the usually less competitive Musical or Comedy categories), and will help ensure that eyes are on it as we enter Oscar season.

Spielberg’s timely journalistic drama, The Post, was next with six nominations, the same number as Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri – a film few had heard of until recently, but which is now shaping up to be a major Oscar contender. However, it just goes to show what an open race it is, as Call Me By Your Name, which has picked up several of the earliest Best Film awards, got just three nominations. It even missed out on a Best Director nomination of Luca Guadagnino, which many think it has a good shot of winning the Oscar for. However, all its noms were in major drama categories – Best Film, Best Actor for Timothee Chalamet and Best Supporting Actor for Armie Hammer.

Other than Call Me By Your Name and a couple of nominations for the loosely LGBT-themed Battle Of The Sexes (Best Actor and Best Actress for Steve Carrell and Emma Stone), there wasn’t much gay love in the film nominations, although Will & Grace picked up two nominations in the TV awards. There was also a love for female drama (of a rather camp-nature, it must be said) in the TV nominations, as they were led by six nomination for Big Little Lies and four for Feud: Bette and Joan. Both of those came out ahead of what many thought would be the leader – The Handmaid’s Tale, which only scored three nominations.

However, the biggest surprise for gay film fans was BPM missing out on a Best Foreign Language Film nomination. Many Critics Groups are expected to choose it as their best non-English Language movie (the The New York Film Critics Circle and Los Angeles Film Critics Association have already done so), so the fact it’s not even on the noms list for the Globes is a big surprise.

Take a look at the full list of nominees below. [Read more…]

The Dark Tower (Blu-ray Review) – The Stephen King fantasy saga finally makes it to the screen

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Jackie Earle Haley, Katheryn Winnick
Director: Nikolaj Arcel
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 11th 2017 (UK)

It’s a movie 10-years in the making (at least this attempt took 10 year), but when it arrived in cinemas The Dark Tower was met with negative reviews and muted box office. It currently has a pretty abysmal 16% on RottenTomatoes and just 5.9/10 from viewers on IMDB. So is it really that bad? No, it’s not, but its easy to understand why it’s had such bad reactions.

The film focuses on teenager Jake (Tom Taylor), who’s been having strange visions of a giant tower at the centre of the universe and the ‘Man In Black’ (Matthew McConaughey), who’s determined to destroy it. While those around him are beginning to think Jake is becoming unhinged, the teen discovers what he’s been seeing is real. [Read more…]

Spider-man: Into The Spiderverse Teaser Trailer – A new Spidey gets an animated movie

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sony has had great success relaunching Spider-man in the form of Tom Holland (and with the help of Marvel Studios), but they’ve also had something else up their sleeves – an animated film. Now we get our first look at the movie, which will bring a different Spidey to the big screen, Miles Morales.

Although it doesn’t tell us much about the plot, it does make it look like the film might be rather cool, and the perfect flick for superhero obsessed youngsters. However, we won’t get to see whether the film is worthwhile until it’s released at the end of 2018.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the creative minds behind “The Lego Movie” and “21 Jump Street,” bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the first of its kind.  “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.’

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