Although it won’t be hitting the TV screens until “mid-season” 2012 the new JJ Abrams show, Alcatraz, has already been generating quite a bit of buzz

Here’s the trailer:

The storyline is based around the idea that more than 300 prisoners vanished from Alcatraz about 50 years ago and they are now coming back .. And since they were in Alcatraz you know they weren’t exactly “saints”.

Cowboys And Aliens Great Visual Effects Pity About the Story

1 Comment 21 August 2011

Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys and Aliens went on general release in the UK and Ireland this week. I went to see it yesterday evening and to be honest I was quite disappointed.

The storyline could be quite interesting, but it just failed to deliver for me.

Daniel Craig plays Jake Lonergan, who wakes up in the middle of the desert with a strange device attached to his arm. Within the first few minutes of the film he establishes himself as being a “hard ass” and manages to better a group of heavily armed cowboys.

He’s been wounded, though he can’t remember how, so he makes his way into the nearest town where he’s patched up by the local preacher before being arrested as there’s a warrant (and sizeable reward) out for his arrest.

Before that happens we get to see Olivia Wilde, as Ella Swenson, who is wandering around the place with a sixgun in her belt (women carrying guns in 19th century Arizona??)

Harrison Ford plays Woodrow Dolarhyde,  a local rancher who seems to have to be inherently evil and thinks he can do whatever he likes, as his cattle is keeping the town alive.

Enter the aliens who snatch Dolarhyde’s son as well as a number of the townspeople.

The rest of the film involves Dolaryhyde working with Lonergan and Ella Swenson as well as the local Indian tribe to find the aliens, free their captives and save the day.

If you ignore the rather weak storyline and unexceptional script you can probably enjoy the action sequences and the visual effects.

But even the visual effects really don’t save the film. It’s simply not that good. Sure, Craig’s portrayal of Londergan is endearing and Ford’s Dolarhyde is interesting, but their performances are, unfortunately, outweighed by the film’s flaws.

Irish Box Office Figures Down Due To On Demand?

Comments Off 14 August 2011

According to a report in today’s Independent Irish cinema box office figures are down considerably.

The report blames a number of factors, such as “3D fatigue” and a lack of “discretionary spending”. While both of those factors probably do have a role to play you’d have to wonder if they are the only ones.

A more comprehensive report covering things like “on demand” services such as iTunes, Zune etc., might give a more balanced view.

In recent months it has become increasingly common for film studios on both side of the Atlantic to give some films an “on demand” release at the same time or slightly before its big screen one.

Films such as “Knuckles” would probably never have got a widespread distribution deal, but For Lovers Only, starring Castle’s Stana Katic, could have done. At present it’s available via iTunes but not on the big screen, nor are there any official release dates on its IMDB page
