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 [...]
Deep down, I think we all knew it was too weird to be true. Sylvester Stallone had been talking a while back about how the fifth entry in the Rambo franchise would feature his character hunting down a genetically engineered monster. If ever there was a shark to be jumped or a fridge to be [...]
There’s more human suffering on display in Roland Emmerich’s 2012 than any other film I’ve seen. Emmerich raises the stakes of his own game, creating a level of destruction that outdoes anything seen in Independence Day or The Day After Tomorrow. Where he succeeds most brilliantly is in forming a perfectly satisfying piece of [...]
Not long ago, we told you about MGM’s impending financial crisis which threatened the life of the company, as well as the franchises that MGM holds. It seems that the situation has only gotten more dire for the studio: Variety is reporting that they will essentially be auctioning off all of their assets within the [...]
As much as critics and movie fans seem to hate on remakes and reboots, you have to admit that a lot can be done with a remake in talented hands. Examples of this extend back to John Carpenter’s work on The Thing to David Cronenberg’s The Fly. It’s possible. It can be done right. Which [...]
Remember 90210‘s Jason Priestley? The TV heartthrob has seemed to fade of the face of the earth, but it looks like he’s aiming for a comeback to the big screen by setting his sights on Death of a Freerider. Freerider is based on a work that Jesse Hyde wrote for Rolling Stone about Sam Brown, [...]
This is a cool little bit of news. Universal (and probably all the big guns will follow suit, with the exception of Sony, perhaps) is pairing some of its upcoming Bluray releases with iPhone and iPod Touch apps that will allow for handheld interaction with the film while you are watching it on the screen. [...]
There was an immensely positive buzz going on about Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic Kick-Ass at San Diego Comic Con this year. Some who saw footage from the film are saying it is the most phenomenal comic book movie of all time, which is high praise indeed. I don’t quite get that [...]
The first trailer for Clash of the Titans, directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) has arrived on the scene. And boy is it engineered for a post-MTV generation. This looks like a CGI-fest through and through, and its flashy editing is all bulked up by the rock soundtrack its paired with. In other words: [...]
