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 [...]
After a bit of a hiatus, Under the Radar is back with a double movie piece again. Informing you on the upcoming independent and lesser known films, this is your one stop to curiously peek at what you can see next in theaters near you. The first of the two is the Fox Searchlight Pictures [...]
“Get on up and check the scene, of the smoothest, baddest mother to ever hit the big screen!” What am I referring to this time around? I’m talking about the upcoming spoof blackspolitation film called Black Dynamite, directed by Scott Sanders (Thick Thieves). Set in the early 1970s, Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White), a former [...]
In the Italian language, the word Il Divo means bluntly ‘the male star’ or ‘male diva’. Within the seven terms that Prime Minister and Christian Democrat leader Giulio Andreotti reigned upon Italy, he took the spotlight politically from the late seventies to the early nineties. Forming during his career a wide range cabinet of people [...]
Woody Allen delivers once again another quirky story starring Larry David in the new film Whatever Works. Spinning its way out of the Tribeca Film Festival’s official selection list and onto a fairly bigger range of theaters, the upcoming comedy is being spat out with the help of Sony Pictures Classic for distribution. Written and directed [...]
Its double movie time for this week’s Under the Radar. The first of the two is the film entitled ’77, the latest title that it’s been through within the past few years (previously being known as 5-25-77 or 1977 if that rings a bell). The film itself has gone through many hardships, been in and [...]
Even though to some people this might not be a suitable Under the Radar, there are still a fair amount of people (even among my peers) who have no idea what it is when someone mentions Shane Acker’s 9. Being pumped up by Focus Features, 9 is a cgi animated movie that seems, to this [...]
Although this Sundance feature has already been heard by some of you out here, the premise and the utter sweetness of this semi-love story has convinced myself to finally put it up. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, the story follows Tom as he chases after his dream girl, Summer, who doesn’t believe that true [...]
Slowly creeping into the minds of the American public (or to the Michael Cera fans) is the latest Sundance entry hopping onto screens everywhere, Paper Hearts. A lot of you might be wondering what this film is about, even more so whether or not to care about it. Apparently people already have been giving a [...]
