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 [...]
Up-and-coming indie director Marc Webb has officially signed on to helm Sony’s proposed reboot of the Spider-Man series, following previous director Sam Raimi’s departure from the hit franchise. Webb is best known for last year’s breakout Sundance hit, (500) Days Of Summer and countless music videos and commercials. This would be his first film with [...]
500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb is in talks to direct Just Another Love Story. The film will become a remake of the hit 2007 Danish film of the same title. The Hollywood Reporter tells us more: Ole Bornedal directed the original, which broke out at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008. The film [...]
This past week, I revisited the Back to the Future trilogy, directed by Robert Zemeckis. These films essentially laid the groundwork for Michael J. Fox’s career — the man is synonymous with Marty McFly. The movies are a mad dash, guaranteed to raise your stress level and blood pressure no matter how many times you [...]
Even without the visual cue, the tale of Tom Hansen and Summer Finn’s romantic rollercoaster ride would evoke memories in the educated filmgoer of The Graduate.
Sacha Baron Cohen takes over the box office again, this time with his gay Austrian fame seeker in the mockumentary, Bruno. Taking in about 30 million, despite the overall slightly weakened amount of people flooding down to the theaters, Bruno still caught the eyes of people who took in Borat and loved it just like [...]
(500) Days of Summer is really one of the best films of the year. It’s the type of indie movie that follows the beat of it’s own drum but doesn’t pummel you with it’s quirkiness. Forget crap like The Ugly Truth, and The Proposal, this is THE romantic comedy to beat this year. It’s a [...]
Although this Sundance feature has already been heard by some of you out here, the premise and the utter sweetness of this semi-love story has convinced myself to finally put it up. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, the story follows Tom as he chases after his dream girl, Summer, who doesn’t believe that true [...]
