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 [...]
Is it wrong that the first thought that popped into my mind after viewing the trailer for Jim Sheridan’s new film Brothers was “I’m so glad somebody finally decided to capitalize on the physical similarity between Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire!”? The film, which will be released on December 4, centers around the conflict between [...]
This isn’t much in the way of news, but we got our hands on a new poster for Tim Burton’s upcoming adaptation of Alice in Wonderland! While looking a bit photoshopped, the poster does give a good look at Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen, Stephen Fry’s Chesire Cat and Matt [...]
The Informant himself, Matt Damon, will be joining forces with Belgian actress Cecile De France to star in director Clint Eastwood’s “supernatural drama” titled Hereafter. Written by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, Bond 23), Hereafter centers around “three people who are touched by death in different ways. De France, whose credits include High Tension and Russian Dolls, [...]
Len Wiseman, the man behind Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard, has signed on to direct and produce an untitled pitch that Fox has just grabbed the rights to. Details (and screenwriters!) are scarce, but according to THR, “the project is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the [...]
Having recently revisited Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy, I’ve come to the conclusion that that film has a little slice of everything. It has incredibly light humor followed by the darkest of gallows humor, and then proceeds to toss any funny business aside to strike at some of the darkest themes I’ve ever seen in a film. [...]
David Fincher’s career is pretty much flawless. You might cry “blasphemy!” simply because of Alien 3, but I’ll be very honest with you: that is not a bad entry in that series, no matter what you might believe. And then Fight Club? Zodiac? Seven? Now, he’s working on an adaptation of the Max Ehrlich novel [...]
Do you remember when Martin Lawrence was funny? Neither do I. Do you remember when he was talented? Trick question. Do you remember when Jamie Foxx had a supremely promising career track? Yes, I do. And that’s why the news of Foxx and Lawrence being paired together in the comedy vehicle Sheneneh and Wanda is [...]
Duncan Jones’ Moon was one of the best debut films from a young and talented director to have been released in quite a while. He got an amazing performance out of Sam Rockwell and the film looked like a mash-up of Kubrick, Aronofsky and The Twilight Zone. And while his next project, Mute (said to [...]
