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 [...]
As we reported earlier this week, Todd Philips will begin work on a follow-up to the sleeper hit of 2009, The Hangover. But before Philips begins work on the sequel, he’ll be busy shooting the road-trip comedy Due Date. Hangover star, Zach Galifianakis, is set to play an oddball who travels with an expectant father [...]
Stephen Chow, who originally was going to direct The Green Hornet and ended up just being Kato in the updated film version of the television show, has abandoned ship.

Currently onboard with the upcoming production [...]

According to the online ticket merchant Fandango, more than 1,000 showings of Harry Potter 6 have already sold-out and has become one of the [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: The beauty of the Harry Potter films is that as the actors have aged, their talents have vastly improved. It’s been a nice thing to watch especially for someone like me who’s not exactly a fan of Harry Potter. Regardless, they’re exceptionally made films that feature great fantasy and incredible special effects. Certainly [...]
Anyone trying to sell a movie will tell you that they will do anything to get people in the theater. I was first intrigued by this film’s poster (of all things), and then upon reading about the movie, I was interested in the ample amount of swearing featured in the film. Whatever it was, I [...]
Sacha Baron Cohen takes over the box office again, this time with his gay Austrian fame seeker in the mockumentary, Bruno. Taking in about 30 million, despite the overall slightly weakened amount of people flooding down to the theaters, Bruno still caught the eyes of people who took in Borat and loved it just like [...]
