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.

It’s an incredible film that ranks amongst the Coens’ [...]

Essentially what the Coen brothers are doing is asking the audience to laugh at one man’s misfortunes. They’re also taking a serious look at the Jewish culture [...]
There are two things present in every Coen Bros film – crime and fools. Usually the fools are the ones committing the crimes and trying (failing) to get away with them. However, it never feels like the brothers have any sympathy towards the “heroes.” On the contrary, it often feels like they enjoy making up [...]
The Big Lebowski himself, Jeff Bridges, will take John Wayne’s Oscar-winning role in the Coen Brothers’ remake of True Grit. It’s been over a decade since the actor has worked with the talented directors, in the role which probably drew him more popular attention than any other character. According to a Variety scoop, the Coens [...]
