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 [...]
Ready to pump us up some more with excitement is the latest extended TV spot for the upcoming movie District 9. With some more footage, not the entire spot but just some, this will tickle everyone’s fancy, especially to those going to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Why is that you ask? Because on Thursday [...]
What seems to be a hopefully promising take on the latest video game adaptation to be thrown onto the slab, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, throws itself out the first exclusive image from Coming Soon! of Ben Kingsley. Playing the sinister villain Nizam who plans to take over the crown and the world [...]
Main Feature (1H 52M 43S) Screenwriter Jenny Lumet does a good job in getting down to basics and providing a believable tale of the classic middle-American dysfunctional family. Natural dialogue is much rarer than it should be and that aspect of this script impressed me far more than the story itself in which nothing much [...]
The more I watch Watchmen, the more I ponder how hilarious my turn on the film was. One year ago I cursed Zack Snyder’s name as I didn’t feel he had the ability to tackle a property I so desperately love (to be fair though, I was against anyone doing it, not just him.) Five [...]
Main Feature (1H 45M 8S) Twenty five years ago Director Ivan Reitman, with help from writers Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, created one of my childhood favourites, Ghostbusters. I have rarely seen a comedy in which the actors fire off hilarious line after another. The comic timing of Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and Moranis in particular [...]
People who are going to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con already were raising their eyebrows about the 1 o clock panel on Saturday about the fate of the popular science fiction comedy series Futurama. With actual executives from Fox within the panel decide the fate of the practically ten year old show, those who are [...]
Ed Helms (The Hangover) is bagging himself some projects. The latest in his bunch is an independent comedy called Cedar Rapids, a piece that could possibly end up in the hands of Fox Searchlight. Penning the script is Phil Johnston (Flightless Birds) along with Jim Taylor and Jim Burke producing. Miguel Arteta (Youth in Revolt) [...]
John Goodman returns back onto the comedy television spot as he joins up onto the Ben Stiller produced pilot, The Station. Under one of the powerhouse television companies which is Fox, Goodman will be a co-star on the pilot that centers on covert CIA operative Eric (Justin Bartha) and his workmates, who are on a [...]
