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 [...]
Dia de los Muertos. Day of the Dead. Not exactly Christmas, Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July but this was a holiday episode. I don’t claim to know much about the Day of the Dead but it was nice how this episode revolved around shows of affection (sometimes public) and how they have a good [...]
Almost everyone performed a Britney Spears song while under the influence of nitrous oxide dispensed by John Stamos, D.D.S. Dr. Carl, Emma’s new boyfriend. I can’t get beyond this story from “Britney/Brittany” so I’ll rely on all of you to remind me of anything else that happened this week on Glee. Dr. Carl should have [...]
It would seem that brothers Joel & Ethan Coen can’t miss and this year they’re going to win more Oscars with their film True Grit. They have always made good movies, from Raising Arizona to Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink to The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty. The [...]
#1, 2, and 3 biggest problem I have with Community (and Glee) is their distasteful meta-awareness. Specifically Community and Abed are standing on the wrong side of that line, not sure how much longer I can watch this. What’re your thoughts on this subject? Season two of the third (yes, I’m calling Glee a comedy!) best new comedy [...]
MODERN FAMILY WON A TON OF EMMYS! I believe that covers the first five minutes of episode one season two. Okay, maybe I prefer a little more humility than the silver screen has to offer. I was happy to see the good people at Modern Family open the new season with their bread and butter- [...]
Rachel turns on survival mode with the arrival of a new foreign exchange student who can belt out Lady Gaga like, well, Lady Gaga. Finn was kicked off the football team. Will, and New Directions, learn that their third place finish last year did not earn them any cool points as they are still the butt [...]
No this isn’t a motel review, this is my list of my favorite Western Films ever. Below you’ll find their posters along with a reason or two of why I like the film or what makes said movie worth watching again and again. When starting a list of the best (IMO) Westerns of all time [...]
Last week I asked if 1965 would bring about ”business as usual” to Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, this week we got a resounding “yes” in “The Rejected.” We start things off with a conference call between Don, Roger and Lee Garner Junior. You see Junior is unsettled by a few new restrictions placed, apparently by his own lawyers, on [...]
