New Ocean’s Eight Trailer – Sandra Bullock leads a star-studded female team on a heist

By

Synopsis: ‘Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter team up in the action adventure Ocean’s 8. Five years, eight months, 12 days…and counting. That’s how long Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) has been devising the biggest heist of her life.

‘She knows what it’s going to take—a team of the best in their field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller (Cate Blanchett). Together, they recruit a crew of specialists: jeweller Amita (Kaling); street con Constance (Awkwafina); expert fence Tammy (Paulson); hacker Nine Ball (Rihanna); and fashion designer Rose (Bonham Carter). The target is a cool $150 million dollars in diamonds—diamonds that will be around the neck of world-famous actress Daphne Kluger (Hathaway), who will be centerstage at the event of the year, the Met Gala.

‘The plan is rock solid, but everything will need to be flawless if the team is going to get in and get away with the ice. All in plain sight. “Ocean’s 8” also stars James Corden as an insurance investigator trying to put the pieces together, and Richard Armitage as Kluger’s unwitting date at the Gala.’

The film hits UK cinemas on 22nd June. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Thor: Ragnarok (Cinema Review)

By

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum
Directed By: Taika Waititi
Running Time: 130 Minutes
UK Release Date: 23 October 2017
BBFC Certificate: 12A

Our Score

I have absolutely no problem with Disney churning out Marvel (or Star Wars) films as long as the quality is up to scratch. Thankfully, they are indeed on point with this third and possibly final Thor movie.

Thor: Ragnarok is set two years after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) – although that film’s events seemed more like a week rather than an age – and our hero Thor, the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth), is forewarned about Ragnarok: a prophecy that spells the destruction of his homeland of Asgard.

Cate Blanchett May Join Jack Black In Eli Roth’s House With A Clock In Its Walls

By

Cate Blanchett and Jack Black aren’t the first people you’d think of for a movie directed by Eli Roth, the man behind Hostel, Cabin Fever and The Green Inferno. However, Black is already onboard his upcoming The House With A Clock In Its Walls, while Variety report Blanchett is not in talks to join him.

The film is an adaptation of John Bellairs 1973 novel, which was illustrated by Edward Gorey. It ‘tells the tale of a recently orphaned 10-year-old boy who discovers a world of hidden passageways, magic, and danger in his uncle’s old house.’

As that synopsis suggests, this is going to be different in tone the Roth’s often dark, gory and very grown-up movies. The House With A Clock In Its Walls is still in the horror wheelhouse, but Bellair’s book was written for younger readers, so it’s likely the movie will follow suit.

New Thor: Ragnarok Trailer – Plus an ace new poster for Black Panther

By

While the first two Thor films were fun, they were sometimes a bit too serious for their own good. It’s something that became more of an issue in the second movie, where it became more difficult not to realise how silly some of it was, when everyone was taking it so seriously.

However, it seems that for Thor: Ragnarok they’re taking a leaf out of the Guardians Of The Galaxy playbook and introducing a lot more humour. Indeed, there will be a bit of a Guardians crossover, as Jeff Goldblum who was seen as the Grandmaster on Guardian Vol. 2, will also be in the third Thor film. From the evidence of the new trailer, while the additional humour changes Thor, it should work, as it looks a lot of fun.

Alongside a new Thor: Ragnarok trailer and poster, to coincide with Marvel’s Comic Con panel, a Black Panther poster has been released, which it has to be said, is pretty cool.

Here’s the Thor: Ragnarok synopsis: ‘In Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!

‘Thor: Ragnarok is directed by Taika Waititi and returns Chris Hemsworth starring as Thor and Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Loki. They are joined by Cate Blanchett, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson and Karl Urban, with Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Hopkins.’

Thor: Ragnarok will be in UK cinemas on October 27th. Black Panther will be released February 2018. [Read more…]
