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 [...]

Similar to what Universal did with Dawn of the Dead several years ago only on a broader scale, the advertisement will put footage [...]
David Cronenberg’s 1986 remake of the Vincent Price classic The Fly is one of my favorite science fiction/horror films of all time. It has a wonderful sense of operatic gloom, and Jeff Goldblum invests what’s probably one of the best performances in his career, despite being buried underneath a mountain of makeup. Alongside John Carpenter’s [...]
While He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has been moved over to Sony’s plate, Universal has signed a deal with Mattel to create a live-action film version of the Barbie toy line. While this may seem silly to some, this is one of the biggest toy products that a studio could choose to grab, [...]
