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 scoring the best rating for ABC in 14 years, Castle has been renewed for a third season.

While some other notable genre shows are taking their sweet time stirring up Armageddon, the [...]

Of course, the ‘us’ I’m referring to are Lost fans and the ‘end’ is May 23rd, when the six year tour of Abram’s mysterious island finally draws to a close. With each passing week and fleeting episode, the window [...]
After a killer hiatus, filled with such fluff as — oh wait, were the Olympics real? — Chuck returns March 1st, and continues its upward trek exactly where it left off. This is a fantastic show with a great ensemble and writers who actually seem to have some ability to zoom in on specific character and [...]
Fox is pulling out all the stops for its new police action comedy Code 58 starring Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks. A special preview of the show will air before ratings powerhouse American Idol, which is when the networks current hit Glee premiered last year.
