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 [...]

Here’s our first look at Let Me In, the American adaptation of the Swedish novel Let the Right One In which was originally adapted into the Swedish feature film by the same name.

After hovering over several projects, David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) has signed on to direct an American adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” The Swedish version of which is out in limited release in the States.
The wonderfully refreshing thing about Thor Freudenthal’s Diary of A Wimpy Kid is it that it knows exactly where it wants to go, and taps all the right emotions on its journey. That is, of course, the exact opposite of the middle school experience, where no one knows where they are going, and waiting breeds [...]
Ryan Bingham lives like a man in transition–he has no wife, no home, or familial trappings. His work consists of visiting employees at their workplace and firing them on behalf of their employer, a big firm who doesn’t want to handle the un-pleasantries. In some sense, he’s a corporate ’sin eater’–carrying a mantle others would rather pass on, and becoming a kind [...]
When the credits started to roll at the end of Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, I was left with an unexpected question. What was the point? Here is a film that would have won Oscars aplenty back in 1956, the year it takes place. But alas, it is now 2010 and there isn’t a single idea [...]
