Chris Nolan's Interstellar Trailer

Interstellar hits cinemas in November 2014

Starring Matthew McConaughy, the trailer doesn't give too much away but does just enough to have us intrigued. What we do know about the movie will follow 'a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage'. There is a stellar cast (INTERstellar, if you will) lined up for the movie: McConaughy will be joined by Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. Due to hit our screens next November, this is one movie we are very excited for in 2014.

Review from entertainment.ie
What constitutes a five-star movie? Usually the highest of ratings is reserved for the types of films that are telling profoundly powerful stories, with great actors and directors already making space on their mantelpiece. But what about pure, old-fashioned entertainment? Doesn't that deserve some special recognition? Because that's exactly what The LEGO Movie is; five-star entertainment.
Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) is an ordinary, run-of-the-mill builder figure that has been mistaken for a prophesied hero who will bring down the evil President Business (Will Ferrell). He must leave his safe metropolis and travel across distant worlds – The Old West, Middle Zealand, etc. - to meet up with the leader of the good guys, Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), and formulate a plan that involves the likes of Batman (Will Arnett), Superman (Channing Tatum) and loads more.

Review from entertainment.ie
Modern love - what is that these days? What constitutes a real romance? If the majority of our waking hours are spent online then what is real and what is not? Spike Jonze, returning after the rather unfair hammering of Where The Wild Things Are, asks this, and explores his favourite theme of alienation in this touching sci-fi drama.
Lonely and depressed over his impending divorce to Rooney Mara, Phoenix employs the help an OS, an intelligent interactive operating system that helps organise his life. Installed on his computer and phone, the OS becomes sentient, it gets to know him, adapts a personality to suit his, and becomes his confidant. Phoenix and his OS, Samantha (Johansson), blur the lines of what is a real romance and what is simulation…

Reporter Confuses Samuel L Jackson with Laurence Fishburn

Reporter Confuses Samuel L Jackson with Laurence Fishburne...Hilarity Ensues!

This poor reporter makes the pretty big mistake of confusing Samuel L. Jackson with Laurence Fishburne and subsequently gets rinsed for his blunder.  While Sam L joked and laughed we cant help but get the feeling that he was a little bit annoyed....

review from entertainment.ie

The Matthew McConaughey Renaissance (or the McConaughey-ssance as it's now being known) continues to grow stronger and stronger with what is undoubtedly the greatest performance in the actor's career to date. Based on a true story, he plays Ron Woodward, a man who likes to live a little too close to the edge, a big fan of the drugs, the booze and the women. He's also a nasty homophobe, and when he's diagnosed with HIV in the mid-1980's - right in the middle of the AIDS panic, when it was automatically assumed to be a gay-only disease - his entire life is turned upside down.

Turning to illegal means to import unapproved drugs that could help extend his 30 day life expectancy, Woodward quickly sets up a little business by helping out fellow HIV and AIDS sufferers (most of whom are homosexuals), with thanks to his new business partner and transvestite Rayon, played by Jared Leto. Then there's Jennifer Garner as his doctor who doesn't approve of his misdeeds but recognises that it may be helping him, and Steve Zahn as his former best friend who has some real trouble dealing with Woodward's plight.

Storywise, there's nothing much new here. McConaughey plays a bigot who gets his eyes opened by a life-changing event, which is something we've seen in movies countless times before. We're supposed to feel good when he doesn't completely flip out in the company of a homosexual, with his homophobia played up for laughs, which doesn't always sit easy. But the rest of the movie is handled with a deft touch, thanks to a script which doesn't go the Philadelphia route and and become another sad movie about AIDS. Instead, Dallas Buyers Club manages to inject some humour into what might have been a harrowing, purely depressing story.

ROBOCOP 2014 Review

Part Man, Part Machine, Partly Entertaining!

Review from ign.com

The original Robocop wowed moviegoers back in 1987 with its heady blend of hardcore violence, state-of-the-art special effects, and cutting social satire, all wrapped in the hugely entertaining tale of a police officer who is fatally wounded in the line-of-duty and reborn “part-man, part machine, all cop.”
The film was so far ahead of its time that it's never felt like it needed a reboot, but this is 21st century Hollywood, and the remake has inevitably arrived, directed by Jose Padilha and starring up-and-comer Joel Kinnaman as Alex Murphy, the policeman-turned-tin man.

Edging us into the future, Robocop take place in 2028, when drones have become fundamental to U.S. foreign policy, with ED-208s – essentially robotic foot soldiers – patrolling war-torn states in the name of Freedom.
