Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
Movie Review — Restless
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth.

I’m going to be honest: I dislike Zoey. Her purpose is clear; she was created to be antagonistic, to personify the nagging doubts of Ted and his architectural pursuits, but she just isn’t an identifiable character. There is no real motivation for any of her actions, and no real rationale for her hatred. How I [...]

Black Swan is a beautiful, poetic film that manages to surpass expectations through unforgettable images, an unbelievable performance, and exquisite direction, all of which that propel the film beyond its somewhat-ordinary premise.
