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 [...]
The good news about 2009 was that it wasn’t as horrendous as some previous years.
Google is reporting what the Top 10 most visited posts/pages on the Atomic Popcorn are.
The best surprise behind Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes is its ultimate faithfulness to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s titular detective.

The hype has been out of this world (pun intended), the underground reviews have been nothing short of amazing, and the response from the critics has been astounding. And I must agree wholeheartedly! Cameron has topped his greatest works to make something that is beyond imagination. AVATAR is the movie I have waited for, for [...]
Coming Soon has an interview with James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington about the film, which everyone who watches tv should be familiar with. Avatar opens this Thursday at 12:01 AM, and the building buzz spiked ever-so-slightly with yesterday’s Best Picture win at the New York Film Critics Online Awards. Among the [...]
Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is one of his best books and is simply pure greatness. Now, his masterwork is making its way to the big screen thanks to director John Hillcoat. Hillcoat’s previous film, The Proposition, was obviously inspired by McCarthy’s work so it made plenty of sense when he signed on. He’s now delivered [...]
