Movie Review: The Ides Of March
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. 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 [...]
Movie Review — Real Steel
“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 [...]
Devin Faraci is right when he says that 20th Century Fox only wants to reboot the Fantastic 4 series strictly because they don’t want the property to return to the hands of Marvel, now in bed with the Walt Disney Company. “It’s a pride thing – if Marvel turns Fantastic 4 into an Iron Man-level [...]
I’d love for one of my dream projects to eventually come to fruition. Whether it’s me directing one of my own scripts or the next RoboCop to Zack Snyder’s Metal Gear Solid or even Paul W.S. Anderson never touching a camera again, it’d be nice to see one of these things happen. Perhaps the second [...]
The other day TwitchFilm brought attention that LionsGate was going to re-release Kathryn Bigelow’s excellent Near Dark with a Twatlight inspired cover. While no amount of suck could ever ruin one of her films, this is disastrous for anyone expecting “another Twilight” when they see the cover because they’ll actually get an honest to goodness [...]
My friend and confidant, the roving radio guy Kevin Finnerty is well known for making some pretty hilarious comments during films. For instance during one film he shouted midway through “I want to leave.” Another time, when a film was dragging terribly, he said “Oh, let it end.” Sometimes his thoughts are summed up by [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: I’d never been introduced to the Ice Age films until this most recent outing. Oh sure, I’d heard of them and was mildly interesting in seeing the first one, but for whatever reason I never got to it. The first did receive pretty decent reviews while the second was pretty much reviled by [...]
Well here this reporter was thinking that the worst kind of heart-wrenching remakes would be along the lines of Fright Night & Flight of the Navigator, but once again I am proven wrong. 20th Century Fox decided to take advantage of the 30th anniversary of the classic Sci-fi movie Alien and completely turn it [...]
What is that you hear? Yet another Marvel movie coming out of the woodwork? No fellow Popcorn freaks, this is not another update on said Marvel Studios movie that will be in connection to The Avengers movie set for 2012, but on a reboot. For quite awhile there have been murmurs of them possibly reviving [...]
Movies like the film in question are pretty critic proof. What my review is for anyone over the age of ten is more of a survival guide even though I’m approaching it like I do every film. Kids are going to want to see it and most parents aren’t going to bring them to the [...]
