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 [...]
With over 500 million active users per day, Facebook is the second most popular site on the web, trailing Google alone.

It would seem that brothers Joel & Ethan Coen can’t miss and this year they’re going to win more Oscars with their film True Grit. They have always made good movies, from Raising Arizona to Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink to The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty. The [...]
It’s a common assignment in psychology classes to analyze and diagnose fictional characters for mental illnesses. In doing so, students can recognize signifiers of neuroses without fear of misdiagnosis, and teachers can judge the diagnoses by varying criteria. Naturally, fictional psychoanalysis requires especially strong fictional characters; Popeye could clearly be viewed as a substance abuser, [...]
