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.

“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 13th episode will serve as the series finale, [...]
Not too long ago, we brought you the news that Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli had started moving forward with his next project, Area 51, with the casting of three virtually unknown actors. At the time, Peli was trying to keep the plot of the movie tightly under wraps. Well, Peli continues to want to [...]
Having only been introduced in 2001,”Best Animated Feature” is a fairly new category for the Oscars. Since then, the Academy has only had three nominees in the category every year. This year, however, it’s looking like that might change. The number of nominees is determined by a set of rules that bases nominations based on [...]
First there was The Polar Express in 2004. This year saw the release of A Christmas Carol. Next on Robert Zemickis’s list for animated Christmas tales? The Nutcracker.
