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 [...]
Monday Rewind is on hiatus today. Sure, I could tell you that Larry Crowne got his ass handed to him by Transformers, Cars 2 and Bad Teacher this weekend, barely getting one over on Monte Carlo. But that’s just depressing. (Why the hatin’ on Larry? Look up “character based story”, people. Then get back to [...]

Sometimes hitting the multiplex just isn’t in the cards. That’s when cable, the web and streaming step in to provide an instant movie fix. But how to separate the wheat from the chaff? I’m happy to help; every week I’ll pick a flick and see if it’s worth your time. This week? “Exam” How far [...]
Too busy last week to go through all the movie news? Here’s a look at what you missed! * Box Office Top 5 for last weekend: they may have gotten craptastic reviews, but Cars 2 and Bad Teacher ruled the weekend. Take that, movie critics! (Hey, wait….) Green Lantern, another film with no critical love, [...]
It’s a marketing department’s wet dream, but the Pixar formula was bound to ‘crap out’ sooner or later.
Teachers don’t get enough credit. Luckily, there are movies out there that shine the light on this noble profession…but Bad Teacher ain’t one of ‘em. This movie goes for the comedic jugular, and gives you a teacher that’s more like a kid in juvie than an adult in the teacher’s lounge. Thank god. The story [...]
