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 [...]
Sometimes hitting the multiplex just isn’t in the cards. That’s when Netflix steps in to provide a movie fix. But how to separate the wheat from the chaff? I’m happy to help; every week I’ll pick a flick from the Netflix Watch Instantly section and see if it’s worth your time. This week? “976-EVIL”. Since [...]

The following review is of the Blu-ray of Alice in Wonderland. This will not be a review of the movie, but rather a look at the features of the disc containing Alice. I would like to point out that the disc holds a whopping three DVDs. One is obviously the Blu-Ray disc itself. The other [...]
For a film newly released on DVD for the first time, The Beatnicks proves curious and anachronistic. With Boondock brother Norman Reedus and hefty character actor Mark Boon Jr. in the lead roles, and familiar faces like Lisa Marie and Eric Roberts filling out the background, it has all the earmarks of a throwback to [...]
As an outsider to the cult of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight, I confess to not understanding the draw of Bella Swan and her pasty, blood-sucking paramour. Having not read the novels and seen only the frustratingly bland and often risible first installment, I was less than eager to catch-up with New Moon. After watching it, less-than-eager seems far [...]
Ryan Bingham lives like a man in transition–he has no wife, no home, or familial trappings. His work consists of visiting employees at their workplace and firing them on behalf of their employer, a big firm who doesn’t want to handle the un-pleasantries. In some sense, he’s a corporate ’sin eater’–carrying a mantle others would rather pass on, and becoming a kind [...]
