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 [...]
This is a cool little bit of news. Universal (and probably all the big guns will follow suit, with the exception of Sony, perhaps) is pairing some of its upcoming Bluray releases with iPhone and iPod Touch apps that will allow for handheld interaction with the film while you are watching it on the screen. [...]
There was an immensely positive buzz going on about Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic Kick-Ass at San Diego Comic Con this year. Some who saw footage from the film are saying it is the most phenomenal comic book movie of all time, which is high praise indeed. I don’t quite get that [...]
The first trailer for Clash of the Titans, directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) has arrived on the scene. And boy is it engineered for a post-MTV generation. This looks like a CGI-fest through and through, and its flashy editing is all bulked up by the rock soundtrack its paired with. In other words: [...]
Vampires definitely don’t suck. “True Blood” and “Twilight” were the top nominees for the People’s Choice Awards. Fans cast more than 18 million votes online to select the nominees and will also choose the winners in 35 categories. “Twilight” is up for Favorite Movie, Franchise and On-Screen Team for its trio of stars: Kristen Stewart, [...]
Justin Halpern went from moving back home with his parents to co-executive producing a sitcom on CBS in a matter of three months. How? Twitter. After knocking on Mom and Dad’s door on Aug. 3, the 29-year-old parlayed his father’s rude, obscene comments into a mini-empire. After only 73 tweets, “S*** My Dad Says” entertains [...]
There’s no doubt that Will Smith is one of Hollywood’s biggest power players: he’s one of Tinseltown’s highest paid actors, and if his name is put on a project, chances are pretty good that film is going to do well at the box office. However, Smith is not one to rest on his laurels and [...]
“Eastwick” ran out of magic on Monday, and will be “poof-”ing out of existence. The crime-show drama, “The Forgotten” will, on the other hand, be extended five more episodes. “Eastwick” is the least-watched show on ABC this season with an average of 6.5 million viewers weekly. ABC said the cast of the Wednesday night drama [...]
Is it wrong that the first thought that popped into my mind after viewing the trailer for Jim Sheridan’s new film Brothers was “I’m so glad somebody finally decided to capitalize on the physical similarity between Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire!”? The film, which will be released on December 4, centers around the conflict between [...]
