Kyle Chandler Up For Godzilla: King of the Monsters

23rd February 2017 By Tim Isaac

It’s taken a while, but things are now gearing up on the sequel to 2014’s Godzilla. The first cast member was revealed a couple of weeks ago when Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown was announced as part of the cast.

Now Variety reports that Kyle Chandler has joined her. Chandler is usually a good choice, having been great in everything from Friday Night Lights and Super 8 to Wolf Of Wall Street and the recent Oscar nominee, Manchester By The Sea.

It also shouldn’t be too much of a shock that he will be playing Brown’s father. The exact plot is being kept under wraps, but as the title suggest, while Godzilla will be the king, the sequel will be introducing us to various other monsters, such as Mothra and and Rodan.

Michael Dougherty is directing and also co-wrote the script for the movie with Zach Shields. It’s expected to shoot this year for release in March 2019. Then in 2020, we’re getting a real monster mash-up, with Godzilla Vs. Kong.

Manchester By The Sea (Cinema Review)

16th January 2017 By Mike Martin

UK Release date: January 13th 2017
Starring: Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Kyle Chandler, Lucas Hedges
Directed by: Kenneth Lonergan
Certificate: 15
Running time: 137 mins

Our Score

It’s always a sure sign of a fine movie when a character says exactly the same line twice, but with completely different meaning. That’s what happens in the fine, downbeat drama when young Patrick (Lucas Hedges), who has just lost his dad (Kyle Chandler) to a heart attack, asks his uncle Lee (Casey Affleck) to give him a lift to band practice. The first time it’s gentle, playful, a sweet, lonely boy asking his uncle, struggling to cope himself, for a simple favour. The second time it is harsh, angry, the boy is fed up with being passed around like an unwanted toy.

The remarkable thing about this film is the number of times it sets itself up for a clichéd resolution, and never follows it. Affleck’s Lee is a man struggling through life, an underpaid janitor with no friends and a crappy one-room apartment. When he discovers that his brother has died and he is the named person to care for his nephew Patrick, he does it, but reluctantly. [Read more…]

Manchester By The Sea Trailer – Casey Affleck becomes his nephew’s guardian in the acclaimed film

24th August 2016 By Tim Isaac

manchester-by-the-sea-slideManchester By The Sea got rave reviews when it debuted at Sundance, with some people immediately putting it in the Oscars race. Indeed, distributors Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions must agree, as they’ve given is an awards friendly November US release slot.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the death of his older brother Joe (Kyle Chandler), Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is shocked to learn that Joe has made him sole guardian of his nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Taking leave of his job, Lee reluctantly returns to Manchester-by-the-Sea to care for Patrick, a spirited 15-year-old, and is forced to deal with a past that separated him from his wife Randi (Michelle Williams) and the community where he was born and raised.   Bonded by the man who held their family together, Lee and Patrick struggle to adjust to a world without him. In his first film since 2011’s acclaimed Margaret, Lonergan once again proves himself a powerful and visionary storyteller as he seamlessly weaves past and present together, crafting a tension-filled tale that deftly eschews sentimentality in favor of penetrating emotional insight and deeply affecting human relationships.’

A trailer has now arrived. Take a look at it below. [Read more…]

Carol (Cinema Review)

24th November 2015 By Mike Martin

carol-review-slideStarring: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Kyle Chandler
Directed by: Todd Haynes
Running Time: 118 mins
BBFC Certificate: 15
UK Release Date: November 27th 2015 (UK)

Our Score

If Far From Heaven was Todd Haynes’ love letter to director Douglas Sirk, this is his tribute to painter Edward Hopper. Whatever the flaws of his film – more of which later – it is probably the best-looking movie of 2015. Meticulously reimagining the New York of the 1950s it has shot after shot of its protagonists exquisitely framed, gorgeously coloured and superbly dressed.

Several moments are worth pausing and gazing at for hours, especially one amazing shot of a grey, drab New York street lifted by the bright red coat and hat of the ethereal Cate Blanchett striding along. The interiors are gloomy, the exteriors washed out and tired-looking. Hopper would be impressed.

It received a standing ovation at Cannes and has been held back to coincide with Oscars season, during which it will probably clean up. However… [Read more…]
