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 [...]
Truth be told, I’ve never used MovieTickets.com as I’ve opted for Fandango instead. Nothing really against the former, I just felt guilty after seeing so many of those paper bag people before movies. In addition, this was before MovieTickets.com stole the show from them at least at AMC. What will get me to pick them [...]
I’d love for one of my dream projects to eventually come to fruition. Whether it’s me directing one of my own scripts or the next RoboCop to Zack Snyder’s Metal Gear Solid or even Paul W.S. Anderson never touching a camera again, it’d be nice to see one of these things happen. Perhaps the second [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: Sometimes, one can expect too much out of a film. It’s not the fault of the film itself, but more on the audience and trailers. The Matrix sequels are the best, recent example of this as most were left generally disappointed. Time at this point has not been kind to either of them [...]
As I sit there and type this in my Flynn’s Arcade shirt, it’ll probably come as shock that I’ve just recently seen Tron. The Comic Con trailer for Tron Legacy was the one that finally forced me to break the mold and enter the program. Pretty much, I’m a tad more excited for Tron Legacy [...]
Miss Iron Man 2 at Comic Con? So did I. Want one of those slick Star Expo ’74 shirts? Me too. Still can’t find the footage? That’s where we can help you, slightly. What Favreau and company brought stole everyone’s girlfriend and punched their mothers. The word coming out and still buzzing on these here [...]
We visited Pandora, entered the Imaginarium, saw a New Moon, had an expo with Stark Industries and actually entered Flynn’s Arcade. Nerd Fest 2009, also known as San Diego Comic Con International 2009, has come and gone and the experience has been one for the ages. In terms of what was on display and what [...]
What was next to Iron Man 2 at Comic Con this year you ask? Was it the awesomeness of Avatar? Nope. How about Depp’s appearance at the Alice in Wonderland ordeal? Slightly. Even the surprise of the show, the Kick-Ass footage? Close, but no cigar. There was one place everyone wanted to be, and that’s [...]
Short blurb, but Gary Oldman announced that BATMAN 3 will film next year to be released in 2011. That’s all the info available, but it’s coming. Interesting to see how this will develop. I’m posting this from Hall H so that’s why this blurb is so short.
