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.

Cloverfield, J.J. Abram’s brainchild of viral marketing, was a whopping success on that front. The movie itself was pretty good, if not migraine-inducing for many. However, I wouldn’t want to revisit it on DVD or Bluray — it’s too much of a theatrically based experience to succeed on a small TV. However, if this viral [...]
