Getting Go: The Go Doc Project Trailer – Tanner Cohen gets too close to want he wants in the new gay-themed film

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Fans of Were The World Mine might wondering what’s happened to that film’s star, Tanner Cohen has been up to. The actor/writer/musician recently popped up in an episode of Looking, and now he’s got the starring role in Getting Go: The Go Doc Project.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘College boy Doc (Tanner Cohen, Were The World Mine) is obsessed with a well-known NYC go-go boy (Matthew Camp). He befriends his hunky crush with the intention of shooting a documentary about what it’s like to live in his skin.

‘But as they grow closer, flirtation blurs the line between subject and filmmaker until a steamy night together solidifies deeper feelings. Cory Kruekeberg’s explicit directorial debut explores the thrill and danger of getting exactly what you wished for.’

It look pretty hot and entertaining, so watch out for it when it hits DVD in the UK on June 23rd. [Read more…]

Not Looking Episode 5 – The first season of gay-themed web series comes to an end

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Not Looking started out as a one-off parody on HBO’s Looking, but thankfully they quickly realised it would be worth turning into a series. The results has been that over the last few weeks we’ve had great fun Drew Droege, Justin Martindale and Jason Looney as they deal with the vagaries of gay life.

Now it’s time for the final episode of the first season.

As with episode four, there’s time for another cameo from Lance Bass, along with a few laughs. A few plot strands get tied up, but enough is left open if they decide to make Season 2 – and let’s hope they do.

American Dad’s Roger Named Gayest Cartoon Character Of All Time

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ROGER-QUOTE-jpgIn the US each year, sports fans get sucked into the vortex known as March Madness, leaving us non-sports fans left out in the cold. As an alternative, Logo TV launched a bracket style tournament for pop culture fans with a twist, it’s a battle for the title of  Gayest Cartoon Character of All Time.  Last night, during the double episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Roger, the wise cracking alien from American Dad, was crowned the winner after besting 31 of animation’s biggest names.

The tournament pays homage to the cartoon characters that provided some of the first depictions of  gay characters and gay sensibilities on TV. Think about it. Decades before gay characters became a staple on primetime or portrayed by real-life actors, they were highly visible on Saturday morning and on animated shows. Some are out and proud (think Big Gay Al from South Park or SNL’s Ambiguously Gay Duo), some have always made you scratch your head wondering (like were Peppermint Patty and Marcie just friends?) and some were so gay they never even needed to come out (Snagglepuss or Vanity Smurf, hello?).

Since launching on March 18, the competition has been intense with some fan favourites being eliminated early including Scar (The Lion King), Peppermint Patty (Peanuts) and Snagglepuss. The elite 8 battle got even more intense with Vanity Smurf and Thelma (Scooby Doo) being eliminate. The final four wrapped up last night with a shocking elimination of  Stewie (Family Guy) and Big Gay Al (South Park).

You can take a look at the full rundown of the tournament over on The Backlot.

New Bad Neighbours Red Band Trailer – Seth Rogen and Zac Efron are not getting on

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Who wouldn’t want to live next door to Zac Efron? Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, that’s who, as this new red-band trailer for Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US) shows.

Now a couple of new red-band trailers have arrived, which you can watch right here.

The movie follows Rogen’s character, whose life is upended when the house next door is taken over by a bunch of fratboys, including Zac Efron and Dave Franco. As fratboys are wont to do in the movies, they soon cause chaos.

The movie certainly looks like it might be fun, but we’ll have to wait and see whether Nicholas Stoller’s movie is as entertaining as it appear it could be.

The movie’s out May 9th.

New Planes: Fire & Rescue Trailer – Fresh look at Disney upcoming sequel

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Planes may not have grossed $100 million in the US, but thanks to the fact it cost far less than most Disney theatrical movies ($50 million versus, for example, Frozen’s $150 million) it was still a significant success for the company. It also ensures the House Of Mouse put a quick sequel in the works, which will be in cinemas this summer.

Now a new trailer has arrived, along with some great addition to the voice cast, including Ed Harris, Wes Studi, Fred Willard, Jerry Stiller, Erik Estrada, John Michael Higgins, Hal Holbrook, Kevin Richardson and Patrick Warburton.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Planes: Fire & Rescue” is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfire. When world famous air racer Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous team, including spirited super scooper Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-military transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.’

It’ll be in US cinemas on July 18th and in the UK on August 8th. [Read more…]

Chef Trailer – Jon Favreau serves up something a little more small-scale

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Jon Favreau has been making big Hollywood blockbusters for the last few years with the first two Iron Man movies, and he’s also been developing some other grand scale projects such as The Jungle Book and Magic Kingdom.

However he’s now squeezed in something a little smaller and which gives him the chance to both direct and play the lead.

The movie follows a former high class chef (Favreau) who decides to get team up with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara), his best pal (John Leguizamo) and his son (Emjay Anthony) and get a food truck, which he hopes will get him out of the rut he’s stuck in.

The great cast also features Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling and Robert Downey Jr.

Chef is due out in the US on May 9th, before coming to the UK on June 20th. [Read more…]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Character (Arm) Posters Arrive

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

TMNT_UK_Teaser_Donatello-slideWhile these are being described as character posters, they’re more accurately character arm posters – but when those arms are of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they’re still worth a look.

(And after the mixed reaction to the turtles’ new faces in the teaser trailer, it’s perhaps not surprising they’re concentrating on other body parts).

We’ve still got a while to ait for this one though, as the Jonathan Liebesman directed movie doesn’t hit US cinemas until August, while the UK currently has to wait until October (although if the buzz for this one grows, don’t be surprised if it moves up).

Take a look at the posters above and below.

Peter Mayhew May Be Back As Chewbacca In Star Wars Episode VII

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chewbacca-han-soloWhile there’s been a lot of talk about young actor testing for new roles in Star Wars Episode VII, JJ Abrams is making sure a lot of old faces will be back to. It’s almost certain (although interestingly still hasn’t been officially confirmed) that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford will be back, and it’s known that RSD2 will also return.

Now it appears another old face will be back, as THR reports that Peter Mayhew will once more play Chewbacca. Rumours of his returns first surfaced last week when he dropped out of a convention appearance due to his filming schedule.

It’s great news, as some as wondered whether the ill health that’s plagued Mayhew in recent years would rule him out of the sequel, but now he’s on the mend and ready to get back in costume.

A couple of days ago it was revealed that shooting on the movie is already underway (although it’s believed to mainly be preparatory shoots), with the casting almost complete. Expect to hear more about who else will be in the movie very soon

Jaden Smith & Jackie Chan Coming Back For Karate Kid 2, With Breck Eisner Directing

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

karate-kid-2010-slideThe Karate Kid remake was a surprise hit on its 2010 release, earning $343 million worldwide. While there was early talk of a sequel, that quietened down after Jaden Smith went off to make After Earth. However now it seems things are moving forward on The Karate Kid 2 once more.

Deadline reports that Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan are attached to reprise their roles in the follow-up, with Breck Eisner (The Crazies) recently signing up to direct the movie.

Back in August 2010, writers Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris (Kung Fu Panda, Robin Hood) were hired to write the script, with Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk, X-Men: The Last Stand) coming onboard for a rewrite in February 2012.

It’s not known what the sequel will be about. The first film followed a youngster (Smith) who moves with his mother (Taraji P. Henson) from Detroit to China. Having trouble settling in and being bullied by his classmate, he is taught kung fu by an eccentric martial arts master (Chan).

Sinister Six Gets Cabin In The Woods Director Drew Goddard

April 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-poster7Amazing Spider-man director Marc Webb has said that once he’s helmed the third in the series, he’s planning to leave the franchise behind. However Sony have big plans to create an entire Spidey world, including a Sinister Six spin-off.

Now that movie has a director, as Variety reports that Drew Goddard is close to signing a deal to direct The Sinister Six, a spin-off of its The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Cabin In The Woods director Goddard agreed to write the super-villain adventure back in December, but it’s only now that he’s concluding negotiations to direct.

It isn’t known exactly known which villains will be included in The Sinister Six, although Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal recently suggested the major characters will be introduced at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The original version of The Sinister Six in the comics featured Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, Vulture and Kraven the Hunter, but there have been all sorts of line-ups for this villainous group over the years.

Sinister Six isn’t the only spin-off in the works, as Sony is also working on a Venom movie.

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug (Blu-ray)

April 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom
Director: Peter Jackson
Running Time: 161 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: April 7th 2014

It seems The Hobbit is determined to follow the same pattern as Lord Of The Rings. The first film was good but essentially just involved a lot of walking with a plot where much of it could have been cut out without hurting the overall arc of the story. The second is overall a better movie, but leaves things in a way where it’s difficult to fully judge it without seeing part three, as it spends so much time setting things up for that movie.

The Desolation Of Smaug picks up where the last film left off, with Bilbo (Martin Freeman), Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the band of dwarves heading towards the Lonely Mountain in order to take on the dragon Smaug, who many years ago took smote Erebor and displaced the dwarves who lived there.

Mickey Rooney, The Last Silent Movie Star, Dies Aged 93

April 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mickey-rooney-slideMickey Rooney, who’s believed to be the last of the silent movie stars, has died aged 93. He had the longest film career of anyone in cinema history, making his first appearance on-screen in 1926 when he was only five-years-old, while his final film, a remake of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, hasn’t even been released yet.

Rooney started out in the 1920s as the child star of the incredibly popular Mickey McGuire shorts. That segued into a very successful film career as a young adult in the 1930s, which included the Andy Hardy movies. These helped make him the biggest movie star in the world in 1939, and also began a successful on-screen partnership with Judy Garland.

His success continued into the 1940s, leading to him signing up for the Army in World War 2 and spending two years entertaining the troops. While he never matched his all conquering comedy film success after the War, Rooney never went away, often brought in for comic supporting roles in the likes of Breakfast At Tiffany’s (which was controversial from the start as he played a Japanese stereotype) and guest roles in a long list of TV shows.

In more recent years he’s often been called upon for small roles in the likes of Then Muppets and Night At The Museum. Despite his advancing years he always kept busy, including touring a one-man show around the world where he reminisced about his years in the movies.

He had a truly incredible career and he’s one of those people who most of us only remember popping up every now and then in movies looking impressively round and wrinkly. However if you can grab a biography, you realise what an astonishing and busy life he led.

Mickey Rooney – RIP
