TOM HIDDLESTON TO STAR IN NEW NUTTY FILM


Three words : Cyborg Debt collector
Tom Hiddleston’s New Movie Sounds Like Westworld Meets Mad Max 
This Hiddleston guy’s really having a moment, huh? Think he might be going a tad bit mad, Off the back of a wonderful, bonkers trailer for the new king Kong movie and a starring role in an even more wonderful, bonkers dystopia movie, High rise, he’s now reportedly attached to another appropriately outrageous film.
Tom Hiddleston will be starring in Ben wheatleys hard Boiled, an adaptation of a Frank Miller graphic novel about now check this a bloody cyborg debt collector questioning his own existence in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Think Mad Max, but with a bunch more bureaucracy and a kind of Westworld-y vibe. Sound a bit nuts?
This will be Hiddleston’s second collaboration with Ben Wheatley, who also directed High-Rise. Wheatley, along with Tom, is something of a hot commodity these days, able to jump from genre to genre with complete effortlessness: His pitch-black comedy Sightseers is one of the funniest and most darkly disturbing movies you’ll see in your life, and his under-watched horror Kill List is an impeccable, nasty cult classic. For real, go watch Kill List right the hell now.

This is a great move for Hiddleston, too: Besides playing Loki, the only good villain in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far, his leading-man credentials are starting to pile up. Next to his audience-friendly work like Kong, it’s great to see him willing to indulge in some weirder, more divisive, Diverse and speculative stuff so early in his A-list career. All I can say is Long may he reign.
Hard Boiled is yet to get a release date, but it will be the next project in Hollywood’s mission to eventually adapt literally everything Frank Miller has ever written.

I don't even need to say im excited for this but hell I'm gonna do it anyway, IM SO EXCITED #CAF #MsaNewsandViews https://m.facebook.com/Msanewsandviews

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook...

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Image
Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre...

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!
