Vice Trailer – Christian Bale transforms into former Vice President Dick Cheney

7th October 2018 By Tim Isaac

For a long time Adam McKay was just about comedy,  making movies with Will Ferrell such as Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers and The Other Guys. However, recently he’s been stretching his wings with the likes of The Big Short (for which he received two Oscar nominations) and now Vice.

The movie features another of Christian Bale’s trademark transformations, so he can play Vice President Dick Cheney. He stars alongside Amy Adams, Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘VICE explores the epic story about how a bureaucratic Washington insider quietly became the most powerful man in the world as Vice-President to George W. Bush, reshaping the country and the globe in ways that we still feel today.’ Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Christian Bale, Steve Carell & Amy Adams In Talks For Adam McKay’s Dick Cheney Movie

8th April 2017 By Tim Isaac

Adam McKay​ is best known for directing Will Ferrell in films like Stebrothers, Anchorman and The Other Guys. However, as he showed with The Big Short (for which he won a writing Oscar), he also has more serious interests. That’s resulted in him working on a movie about the former US Vice President (under George W. Bush), Dick Cheney.

Now that film is casting, with THR reporting that Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Amy Adams are all in early talks to star in the movie. If it all comes together, Bale would play ‘Cheney, who was an ardent supporter of strong anti-terrorist actions and a key supporter of the Iraq War. Cheney also is the former CEO of the multinational corporation Halliburton. Carell is circling the role of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Adams would play Cheney’s wife, Lynne Cheney.’

There’s little further info on the movie, such as whether it will cover much of Cheney’s life, or solely cover a particular period in his life. He’s an intriguing figure, seen by some as the real President during George W. Bush’s tenure, by some as a war criminal, and by others as a rather inept person (mostly due to an incident where he accidentally shot a friend in the face during a hunting trip). It’s now clear when the biopic might start shooting.

Arrival (Blu-ray Review)

21st March 2017 By Tim Isaac

Starring: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mark O’Brien
Directed By: Denis Villeneuve
Running Time: 116 mins
BBFC Certificate: 12
UK Release Date: March 20th 2017

Our Score

It’s very rare for a sci-fi film to get Oscar nominations outside of the technical categories, so it’s truly exceptional that Arrival scored eight of them, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actress. It may have won just one Academy Award – Best Achievement in Sound Editing – but it’s still highly unusual.

In the movie, the world is shocked when 12 mysterious ovoid spaceships arrive at various points around the planet, hanging in the sky. One of them is over American soil, so the government decides it needs to know what’s going on. Inside the ship are two aliens – which look like a cross between trees and octopuses – but there’s no way to communicate with them. [Read more…]

Nocturnal Animals (Cinema Review)

5th November 2016 By Tim Isaac

nocturnal-animalsStarring: Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Directed By: Tom Ford
Running Time: 117 Minutes
UK Release Date: 4th November 2016
BBFC Certificate: 15

Our Score

Tom Ford is the fashion designer known as the man who saved Armani, and then turned his hand to directing with 2009’s A Single man, a film I haven’t seen but have heard a lot of good things about.

So I made a conscientious effort not to know too much about Ford’s follow up, Nocturnal Animals, except that it gained some great reviews whilst doing the festival circuit. We are into awards season after all, so I was expecting some kind of drama which would be powerful and stylish, the sort of thing that would appeal to awards juries. And my instinct was right.

Nocturnal Animals Trailer – Amy Adams & Jake Gyllenhaal star in Tom Ford’s film

18th September 2016 By Tim Isaac

amy-adams-nocturnal-animalsTom Ford’s movie Nocturnal Animals has been getting good reviews at film festivals, and it won’t be too long until we’ll get to see the movie for ourselves. To whet our appetites, a teaser trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From writer/director Tom Ford comes a haunting romantic thriller of shocking intimacy and gripping tension that explores the thin lines between love and cruelty, and revenge and redemption. Academy Award nominees Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal star as a divorced couple discovering dark truths about each other and themselves in “Nocturnal Animals.”

‘Susan Morrow, a Los Angeles art dealer (portrayed by Ms. Adams), lives an incredibly privileged yet unfulfilled life with her husband Hutton Morrow (Armie Hammer). One weekend, as Hutton departs on one of his too-frequent business trips, Susan receives an unsolicited package that has been left in her mailbox. It is a novel, Nocturnal Animals, written by her ex-husband Edward Sheffield (Mr. Gyllenhaal), with whom she has had no contact for years. Edward’s note accompanying the manuscript encourages Susan to read the work and then to contact him during his visit to the city. Alone at night, in bed, Susan begins reading. The novel is dedicated to her…

…but its content is violent and devastating. While Susan reads, she is deeply moved by Edward’s writing and cannot help but reminisce over the most private moments from her own love story with the author. Trying to look within herself and beyond the glossy surface of the life and career that she has made, Susan increasingly interprets the book as a tale of revenge, a tale that forces her to re-evaluate the choices that she has made, and re-awakens a love that she feared was lost – as the story builds to a reckoning that will define both the novel’s hero and her own.’ [Read more…]
