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

'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!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
