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 [...]
![[Exclusive Interview] Lone Scherfig on An Education](http://www.atomicpopcorn.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/an_education_nick_hornby-440x120.jpg)
If you’ve seen An Education then you already know how excellent it is. The film premiered at Sundance this year and was met with wonderful reviews. It’s a coming of age tale about a girl trying to figure out what to do with her life and of course her education. While that may sound like a movie you’ve [...]
This is a great year for George Clooney. He’s got Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air on the horizon, as well as Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare At Goats. Both films look superb. It could also be a great year for you, because you stand a chance at winning goodies from The Men Who [...]
In any other film besides Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, actress Diane Kruger’s performance would have shined through and gotten her a great deal of attention in the public eye. Instead, the film is filled to the brim with great performances, and Kruger’s role as Bridget Von Hammersmark may get overlooked next to Brad Pitt’s Aldo [...]
Ron Livingston is the beating heart of Mike Judge’s Office Space, a movie that has transcended cult status and is pretty much one of the finest comedies to be released in the 1990s. He’s also pretty notable for the role of Captain Lewis Nixon in Band of Brothers on HBO. Now, he’ll be joining director [...]
The Amazing Race. Its name alone incites images of a grandiose adventure. It’s not just An Amazing Race, it’s The Amazing Race. A name that drives home the necessity of commitment and tenacity like a big-league slugger pumped full of steroids. The Race isn’t easy, and it is not for everyone. If you have difficulty [...]
On this week’s episode of “Three Rivers” the doctors face the challenge of a ‘Code Green’ – a mass casualty event. At the beginning of the episode a bus carrying a high school football team blows a tire and crashes, sending many of the unlucky players to Three Rivers on stretchers while others are pronounced [...]
You can make a hundred comparisons between Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity and that monumental symbol of the hype machine, The Blair Witch Project. The similarities are obvious: both are essentially ghost stories, told from faux-documentary video footage. Both have small casts of nobodies, first-time directors, and most critically, both have witnessed huge theatrical success despite [...]
After much disagreement regarding budget and tone, director Kenny Ortega has split from the Paramount Pictures remake of Footloose. Ortega, who directed all three of the High School Musical movies, had been involved with the Footloose project since its conception, back when HSM star Zac Efron was still on board as the movie’s lead. From [...]
