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 [...]
Emma and Dexter are graduating from college, circa 1988. She’s hellbent on making a difference in the world, and he’s up for anything the world has to offer. Glimpsing into the lives of these two opposites on Saint Swithin’s Day (July 15th) for the next 20 years, you get love, glory, despair, and happiness, not [...]
Rio is a new Digital 3-D animated feature from Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age). Rio stars the voices of Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada), George Lopez (George Lopez) and Rodrigo Santoro (Love Actually). Rio combines animation and flying to maximize the 3-D format. I expect some Getz, Gilberto & Gilberto (can somebody say “Ipanema?”) on the soundtrack. Call it early but [...]
Now this is interesting news. Just last week when Matt covered the best fights of movie history, he cited the battle between Norris and Bruce Lee from ‘Way of the Dragon’. It’s a cool movie. Maybe not the best of Lee’s output, but a martial arts fan must give it due respect. As they also must [...]
How do you feel about Valentine’s Day? Are you one of those romantics who buys into it wholeheartedly, anticipating the day so you can lavish your loved one with affection and attention? Maybe you just enjoy getting caught-up in the kitsch of candy hearts, roses and chocolates? Or are you one of the others, who thinks [...]
Following the box office success of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Blue Sky Studios and Fox Animation are collaborating again on the animated flick Rio. Ice Age director Carlos Saldanha has already signed on to direct Rio, and the studios are currently negotiating to add Anne Hathaway and Neil Patrick Harris to the voicing [...]
Main Feature (1H 52M 43S) Screenwriter Jenny Lumet does a good job in getting down to basics and providing a believable tale of the classic middle-American dysfunctional family. Natural dialogue is much rarer than it should be and that aspect of this script impressed me far more than the story itself in which nothing much [...]
Former co-stars of the Ang Lee film Brokeback Mountain, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, are reuniting in the next drama piece swimming their way. The new film directed by Edward Zwick will be Love and Other Drugs, based off of a non-fiction book adaptation called “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman”. Reidy was [...]
