Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
What more could one want than a movie full of action from start to finish? Well how about some vulgarity and a little more action that the first. Crank 2 is the sequel to a movie that didn’t need to be made in the first place. While fun and semi enjoyable, it really is just [...]
What are some great dog movies that spring to mind? Old Yeller? My Dog Skip? Where the Red Fern Grows? or maybe, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey? Well, add Marley & Me to the list. It’ll be a favorite for a long time to come. And yet the funny thing is that this isn’t just [...]

Ever watch The History Channel? It’s got the H logo in the corner – for history! Every time I go to that channel, it seems to be about Hitler. So often, in fact, that I just call it The Hitler Channel. I mean, how many documentaries can there be about one guy? At least that [...]
Dear Santa, Why is it that no one seems to know how to make a good Christmas movie anymore? The last holiday film that I truly loved was “Love Actually”, which was released back in 2003. Since then, there have been a few that I liked (“The Family Stone” and “Fred Claus”), but being who [...]
Boy, 2008 was all over the map in terms of movies. Most of them were torn down with varying degrees of critical hostility and, in the majority of those cases, the hate was justified. From movies like 10,000 B.C. to The Happening, there have been some big stinkers among audiences this year. What follows is [...]
