Guy Ritchie ‘interested’ in women’s clothes

Hugh Grant’s wickedly amusing turn as Waverly, British head of the organization that’s slowly being formed, also enlivens proceedings, while it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the background of multiple scenes, as when his lead actors are failing to land their lines, Ritchie slips in hilarious bits of business behind them.

According to an insider, Ritchie, who we’re told was a brown belt for nine years, was presented with the new belt by his instructor, mixed martial arts fighter Renzo Gracie, at the film’s after-party at the Bowery Hotel, where he briefly put it on to pose for a photo.

A pair of tickets to the screening of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on Thursday August 13 at UA Cityplaza at 9:50pm. Solo is forced to team up with KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) as the USA and USSR combine to take on a mysterious worldwide criminal group that’s building its own nuclear bomb. Even in the opening vehicle chase, she drives like a professional stunt driver while delivering ridiculing remarks to her suited-and-booted new acquaintance with a permanently raised eyebrow, letting you know immediately that she’s not going to be the typical third wheel to the film’s male heroes. These are two massive, massive men-Hammer is taller, but Cavill is built like a Trivial Pursuit wedge-to the point where it gets distracting. (Additionally they have a random, humorous scene the place they rigorously debate ladies’s style.) However they’re pumped as much as such absurd sizes that it truly weighs down the film-these guys would principally be the worst spies conceivable, as a result of who can’t spot knowledgeable wrestler from a mile away?

2015 is apparently the year of the spy movie. Cavill looks the part and could easily play the human version of this cartoon character. The script, heavy on ossified gay-camp inferences and jokey sadism, comes from director Ritchie and co-screenwriter Lionel Wigram, whose Robert Downey Jr.-headlined “Sherlock Holmes” movies made over a billion dollars worldwide. Not even your consideration. Despite having grown up in a basic-cable home filled with Perry Mason, Dick Van Dyke Show and Green Acres reruns, I had no familiarity with the characters or the premise behind this particular beloved 1960s television series. Or maybe it’s the other way around: Maybe the only way you can get something this modestly conceived and deeply unambitious made is by connected it to an existing “brand”, even a dead one. This can be a informal, lying-around-on-a-Saturday basic-cable rerun that neither harms nor evokes anybody. But then this wasn’t really in doubt given its era and the glimpses seen in the trailer. It doesn’t take much to launch a franchise anymore, apparently.
