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.

Critics and audiences alike often get flack for championing Pixar’s films every time a new one is released. While everyone does go crazy with praise, just take a look at their catalog.

Steven Soderbergh, who is a master of capturing inner turmoil (Sex, [...]
This wasn’t supposed to happen. A sequel to a mildly amusing family adventure flick isn’t supposed to be funny, entertaining and easily the most delightful film seen this year, yet, despite nearly the same plot from its predecessor and most of the same jokes, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a blast.

Paramount is shifting it’s focus to franchise films & more control over it’s slate in hopes to generate profits. Investors were particularly pleased with the success of Star Trek although Paramount remains in the red with losses of $123 million in the first quarter of 2009 alone. “We weren’t in control of our release slate [...]
Kevin Smith, popular director of films from Clerks to Zack & Miri Make A Porno, got himself some dicks for his latest movie.
