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 [...]
In preparing to write this review I struggled with how I wanted to approach the movie and the review. For those of you that know me, I am a Baltimore native and a first-generation fan of the Baltimore Ravens. When the Ravens drafted Michael Oher in the recent 2009 NFL Draft it was all over [...]

Just read this at the Hollywood Reporter and I hope it is true. I loved the first two “Bad Boys” movies and think they are great action flicks and some of the best mindless fun I’ve seen on the big screen. Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the high-octane “Bad Boys” franchise, tapping [...]
If the daytime soap operas were ever given a chance to become big screen movie, A Perfect Getaway would be that movie. The plot is right out of one of the many soaps my mom watched when I was a kid. You have the main couple who are on their way to Hawaii for their [...]
The Category is Summer Movies Answer: “Year One” The Question: Name the movie that is written and directed by Harold Ramis (of “Ghostbusters” and “Stripes” fame), co-produced by Judd Apatow (of “40 Year-old Virgin” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame), and stars Jack Black, Michael Cera, Oliver Platt, David Cross, and Hank Azaria.

“Marshall, Will, and Holly on a routine expedition Met the greatest earthquake ever known. High on the rapids it struck their tiny raft, And plunged them down a thousand feet below.
