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 [...]
It’s not easy being a 15-year-old virgin. At least not for Oliver Tate. The love of his life is a pyro that doesn’t seem to know he exists, his parents’ dimmed bedroom lights let him know exactly when they get busy, and the new neighbor used to be Oliver’s mom’s boyfriend. Ah, to be young [...]
Is Tom Cruise’s burly, foul-mouthed producer alter-ego, Les Grossman headed to the big screen on his own? Looks that way. Grossman, who made his screen debut in 2008’s raunch comedy Tropic Thunder also took the stage Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards, where he busted out in a rap dance that looked similar to the [...]
Jessica Alba is in talks to be part of the third installment to the Meet the Parents films, Little Fockers. Alba would become an attractive pharmaceutical rep that torments the male characters in the film. This third film will continue on where the other two left off, with Greg (Ben Stiller) and Pamela (Teri Polo)having [...]
This wasn’t supposed to happen. A sequel to a mildly amusing family adventure flick isn’t supposed to be funny, entertaining and easily the most delightful film seen this year, yet, despite nearly the same plot from its predecessor and most of the same jokes, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a blast. [...]
Movies like the film in question are pretty critic proof. What my review is for anyone over the age of ten is more of a survival guide even though I’m approaching it like I do every film. Kids are going to want to see it and most parents aren’t going to bring them to the [...]
Night at the Museum 2 or Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian is a movie for all of you out there. Ben Stiller stars again as Larry Daley, the night watchmen we have all come to adore and laugh at. The hilarity ensues with the likes of Amy Adams, Hank Azaria and Jonah [...]
If my parents took me to a casting call for Return of the Jedi, maybe my life would have turned out differently. Instead of writing about movies, I could have been in movies. But no. Ben Sadlinger had to get that Ewok role (Ewok # 4 Gray, to be exact). Parents, if you don’t want [...]
Last night I was able to attend and interview a bunch of folks for the upcoming Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian. What a ride that was, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, the ever beautiful Amy Adams and of coarse the star himself Ben Stiller. I only got one question in to Ben due [...]
