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 [...]
Warner Bros. Studios saw success with 2006′s animated film Happy Feet, about a tap-dancing penguin. A year later, Sony Pictures Animation did decently well with another penguin flick, Surf’s Up.

I’m a huge fan of the Rocky movies. I have been since 3rd grade when I was home sick for a week and my dad decided to rent all five of the movies for me. My personal favorite in the series is Rocky IV, in which Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky fights Dolph Lundgren’s intimidatingly droid-esque Communist. [...]
It’s a difficult tightrope to walk, making a film adaptation of a book, especially if the book is well-loved. On one hand, if you change the book’s content too much, you run the risk of angering the fans who will turn on you for all the differences between the story in their heads and the [...]
Although the Destiny has survived the violent turbulence buffeting them at the end of last week’s episode, “Darkness,” the crew’s situation has not gotten any better. The ship is still totally out of reserve power and on a collision course with a nearby star. The only only chance any of the crew seems to have [...]
