Mixed Messages (DVD Review) – A lesbian experiences a year of being single in queer Berlin

December 3, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Alana Lake, Cleo Jacobe, Liz Rosenfeld, Ella Clarke
Director: Kanchi Wichmann
Running Time: 67 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 4th 2017 (UK)

Ren (Alana Lake) is a British transplant living in Berlin. She’s single but doesn’t really want to be. Over the course of a year, we get to see her various attempts to get lucky and find connection. That ranges from dealing with someone who seems more interested in their Tinder match than her, as well as a one-night-stand who doesn’t seem able to eat any of the breakfast banquet she’s created. She also heads off to a bondage workshop and tries speed-dating, while a lost mobile phone on one date cause all manner of problems.

Ren is living in a world where finding someone for more than a night seems increasingly difficult, and sometimes even a whole night is too much to ask. [Read more…]

England Is Mine (DVD Review) – The early days of Morrissey gets a movie

December 3, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jack Lowden, Jessica Brown Findlay, Adam Lawrence, Jodie Comer, Simone Kirby
Director: Mark Gill
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 4th 2017 (UK)

To some, Morrissey is a figure who inspires devotion – the musician-poet of outsiders and of those wish the world were a different place. To others though, he’s a man who’s spent the past 35 years whining and becoming increasingly out of touch with life as lived by everyone else (not helped by the messianic adoration he still attracts from those who love him). He’d also probably be the last person to collaborate on a film biopic, so England Is Mine is very much unofficial, picking up Steven Patrick Morrissey’s life in the 70s, before anyone knew who he was. By concentrating on the time before he started collaborating with Johnny Marr, also helps the movie get around the fact that it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for them to get the rights to use any of The Smiths’ music.

Midnight Sun Trailer – Patrick Schwarzenegger & Bella Thorne star in what may be 2018’s cheesiest movie

December 3, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While it’s easy to make fun of cheesy movie, it popcorn hokey romance is done well, it can be a real guilty pleasure. However, if done badly, it can be breathtakingly awful. Midnight Sun appears unafraid of the fact it will result in waves of nausea for those who don’t like anything sentimental or overly mushy. Indeed, there are moment in the trailer, where it’s like someone has put a Nicholas Sparks story on steroids.

It also marks the highest profile role yet for the son of Arnie, Patrick Schwarzenegger.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Midnight Sun is a romantic tearjerker about 17-year-old Katie Price (Bella Thorne), sheltered at home since childhood with a rare genetic condition, a life-threatening sensitivity to sunlight.  Having only her father Jack (Rob Riggle) for company, Katie’s world opens up after dark when she ventures outside to play her guitar.  One night, her dreams come true when she’s noticed and asked out by her longtime crush Charlie (Patrick Schwarzenegger), whom she’s secretly watched from her bedroom window for years.  As they embark on nightly summer excursions, Katie’s risk to sunlight grows and she’s presented with the gut-wrenching dilemma of whether she can live a normal life with her newfound soul mate.’

The movie’s due out next Spring. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Permission Trailer – Rebecca Hall & Dan Stevens open up their relationship in the gay-themed film!

December 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although it’s tough to imagine ever getting bored of sleeping with Dan Stevens, that’s kind of the premise of Permission. Or rather, it’s about a couple who begin to wonder if they’re missing out because they’re the only people either has ever been with.

While Stevens and Rebecca Hall have been together for a long time and are about to get engaged, her brother (David Joseph Craig), suggests maybe they should at least try other people so they know they other really is ‘the one’. That leads them to experiment with other people, and as you might expect, as bit of polyamory proves more complicated for their relationship than they expected.

Her brother meanwhile is considering whether his long-term relationship with his boyfriend is ready for them to become parents. As the new trailer shows, it’s a film looking at the complexities of all kinds of relationships, irrespective of what genders are involved.

The movie is due out in the States in February, take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Thoroughbreds Trailer – Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy & Anton Yelchin take on a dark comedy

December 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Thoroughbreds has received some pretty good reviews as it’s played film festivals from Sundance to London, currently enjoying an 83% rating on RottenTomatoes. However, it doesn’t arrive in cinemas until March, so it’s worth getting a taste of the movie with a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.’

Take a look at the new trailer below. The movie will be in cinemas next March. [Read more…]

Wentworth Miller & Russell Tovey Share A Superhero Kiss On Arrow-verse Crossover Event

November 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Over the weekend we posted the first images of Russell Tovey as the Arrow-verse’ first live-action, openly gay hero, The Ray. While many people were excited just to have Tovey show up for a major crossover event between The Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow, there was an extra treat in store.

One scene in ‘Crisis On Earth X’, saw Tovey and Wentworth Miller sharing a smooch! Miller has been part of the Arrow-verse for several years as villain turned reluctant hero Captain Cold (aka Leonard Snart). Tovey’s Ray though comes from an alternate universe in which the Nazis won the Second World War, and it turns out that in that world, a version of Snart, known there as Citizen Cold, is his lover.

The result is something it’s difficult to imagine ever happening even 10 years ago – two openly gay actors, playing superheroes on a major TV show, sharing a loving kiss! Take a look at a gif of the moment below.

The crossover event will air on Sky 1 in the UK next week. [Read more…]

Armie Hammer Reveals His Religious Mother Won’t Watch Him Playing Gay In Call Me By Your Name

November 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although things could change between now and March 4th, at the moment Armie Hammer is the frontrunner for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. However, one person who hasn’t – and probably won’t – watch him in his acclaimed role in Call Me By Your Name is his own mother.

In the movie, Hammer plays a post-graduate student who goes to Italy for the summer, and starts to fall in love with the teenage son of his professor.

Talking to Andy Cohen, he’s revealed of his mother, “I don’t think she’ll see the movie”.

His co-star Timotheee Chalamet then joked, “Because you’re possessed.”

Hammer continued, “Yeah, she does not want to see the movie. It goes against a lot of her very strong religious beliefs. She’s very conservative. It just affirmed to me that I’m going off on my own and doing what I truly believe I should be doing as an artist. It’s her right, it’s her choice. But I also have the right to support the movies I want to do. We’ve tried to talk it out, but we’re just at opposite ends of the spectrum on that one.”

It’s been quite a busy few days for Hammer and Call Me By Your Name. The movie scored the most nominations at the Indie Spirit Awards a few days ago, and yesterday pick up Best Picture from the Gotham Awards. Both those have been seen as good signs for a strong Oscar showing.

Hammer meanwhile deleted his Twitter account after getting angry about a negative Buzzfeed article about him. However, while he may have been frustrated about that article, he could at least take solace in the fact that Call Me By Your Name scored the best limited opening of 2017 when it arrived in US cinemas last weekend.

Love, Simon Trailer – Mainstream Hollywood brings us a gay coming of age hero in the form of Nick Robinson

November 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In mainstream movies, the only films that get gay lead characters tend to be prestige dramas that are attempting to get Oscars. However, Love Simon is something a bit special, as it’s a teen coming of age movie that’s getting a release by 20th Century Fox (and was made under their Fox 2000 banner), and happens to be about a young gay man.

The first proper trailer for the movie has arrived, which comes from director Greg Berlanti (the man behind TV’s Arrow-verse).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it’s a little more complicated: he’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Dawson’s Creek, Brothers & Sisters), written by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger (This is Us), and based on Becky Albertalli’s acclaimed novel, LOVE, SIMON is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story about the thrilling ride of finding yourself and falling in love.’

The film is due in cinemas next Spring. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

November 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a long time the threads that have woven between all parts of the Marvel Universe have been leading towards Infinity War. The evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) has been lurking on the edges, while various movies have involved what will be revealed to be the Infinity Stones.

And because of that, pretty much everyone is coming together or this film, including the Guardians Of The Galaxy, who’ve been almost stand-alone up until this point. The film will include Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Dave Bautista (Drax), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Pratt (Star Lord), Chris Evans (Captain America), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlett Witch), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Paul Bettany (Vision), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), Tom Holland (Spider-Man) and plenty more.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.’

Mary Magdalene Trailer – Rooney Mara stars as Jesus’ infamous follower

November 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Who is Mary Magdalene? She’s probably best known for being a prostitute – although the problem with that is that it doesn’t actually say she was in The Bible. He lady of the night reputation came along much later. More recently Dan Brown decided she was Jesus’ wife. But who was she really?

Well, a new movie seems keen to give a different take on her, presenting her closer to be a bit of a revolutionary.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘MARY MAGDALENE is an authentic and humanistic portrait of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood spiritual figures in history. The biblical biopic tells the story of Mary (Rooney Mara), a young woman in search of a new way of living. Constricted by the hierarchies of the day, Mary defies her traditional family to join a new social movement led by the charismatic Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix). She soon finds a place for herself within the movement and at the heart of a journey that will lead to Jerusalem.’

Mary Magdalene is released in the UK on March 16th 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

I’m Fine: Season 2 Trailer – Catching up with the gay friends in the show’s second instalment

November 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The gay streaming service Dekkoo has brought us a few interesting shows such as Feral and Three, but one of the best has been I’m Fine. The first season was released on the service earlier this year and has since made its debut on DVD (thanks to TLA releasing).

Now it’s coming back for a second season, which will hit Dekkoo in January. We can get a taste of what’s in store with the new trailer.
