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 just in: Tony and Ridley Scott buy rights to make a movie about the Sun, the Earth, and everything that has existed upon it throughout human history. Seriously. The Scott family is becoming omnipresent. The latest (and most ridiculous) news, which is only paralleled by Ridley Scott’s desire to make a film adaptation of [...]
Whether you were jazzed about the first trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar or even if it left you cold, you have to admit that the release of the film this December is the largest thing looming on the horizon for 2009. The great news is that this new trailer hooked me quite a bit more [...]
November 6th will see the release of the much anticipated The Men Who Stare at Goats. The film about an army battalion of “psychic spies” stars four Hollywood’s heavyweights: George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, and Ewan McGregor. Although each actor is well-known and has been in stand-out movies–Spacey in American Beauty, Clooney in Ocean’s [...]
I can’t say I’m entirely surprised by the new rumor that actor/writer/director Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom, the upcoming Battleship movie) is leaving the new film version of Frank Herbert’s Dune by the wayside. It’s a huge property that has not only been done before (twice), but it also doesn’t seem to lend itself to [...]
Whether you’re a fan of what Robert Zemeckis has been doing with motion capture technology lately, in films such as Beowulf and the upcoming adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, you have to admit that the technological expertise required to execute such films is pretty extraordinary. Also extraordinary in Zemeckis’ upcoming film (which is [...]
It’s quite possible that the closest we’ll get to a biopic about the Beatles, at least as long as the remaining members of the band are alive, is Sam Taylor Wood’s Nowhere Boy, which chronicles the formative years of the group’s beating heart, John Lennon. And if this trailer is any indication, I think that’s [...]
People who don’t know much about me probably wouldn’t guess that I’m a huge Star Trek fan. But the facade of being normal cracks at the seams, once you start noticing Trek-themed coasters sitting around my apartment. Rest assured, J.J. Abrams’ reboot of Star Trek was, in my opinion, the bee’s knees, only outdone this [...]
We usually don’t cover games and technological silliness here on AtomicPopcorn.net, but some stuff is too good to pass up. Like this $7.99 iPhone 3G app called ReelDirector, which essentially capitalizes on the iPhone’s ability to shoot video by providing a pretty complete video editing suite. The thing looks really cool, and until iMovie officially [...]
