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 [...]
A.K.A. LOTR Edition or Vuvuzela Edition, also Buzzing Noise Edition… am I annoying you yet? good! I’m doing my best vuvuzela impersonation. As you’ve probably guessed this video has something to do with soccer, specifically the 2010 FIFA World Cup currently being played in South Africa, and Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. I bet you [...]
According to the interwebs on this fine Monday morning, District 9′s sequel, aptly named District 10 is already in pre-production. Here is what MarketSaw has to say about it all: DISTRICT 10 (Production title at least) is now in pre-production with filming to start in the October time frame this year. Shooting locations will be [...]
Let’s start with the synopsis: “Set in the distant future, Connected is a story about survival and greed with a post-apocalyptic wasteland as its backdrop. Survivors of an unknown disaster shuffle through a desolate landscape, as it quickly becomes clear that not everybody has the strength to survive.” I never would have expected such a [...]
Here it is at last! The 2010 Academy Awards! Who’s bringing home the Oscars? James Cameron or Kathryn Bigelow, or will Tarantino stage an upset? Will The Dude Lebowski have a best actor win under his belt? The stars are crossing the Red Carpet right now and in a few hours Alec Baldwin and Steve [...]
It’s that time again. Puxatawney Phil has seen his shadow, Lost is back on the air, and the Oscar nominations have been announced. And, to be honest, there are very few surprises here. Granted, I’m a little late in breaking the news here, but if anything, this list proves there was no news to break. [...]
I could talk about Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 until I’m exhausted. It was one of my very favorite films of the summer and probably the year, and if you haven’t seen it you should. There’s been a lot of ballyhoo since its release regarding what director Blomkamp would choose to do next — the success [...]
Chalk this one up as a huge rumor until we inevitably hear an update about it within the next few days. Sharlto Copley, rising to fame like a shooting star from his role as Wikus Van Der Merwe in District 9, may be playing Captain Howling Mad Murdock in Joe Carnahan’s A-Team update. This news [...]
With the summer movie season of 2009 drawing to a close, it’s time to look back at the ten films that made us laugh, cry, howl and above all entertain us. Now bear in mind while films like The Hurt Locker and Moon saw release over this summer, they won’t be included here as this [...]
