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 [...]
As though we all don’t already think this — the Internet is AWESOME. The Internet, whether Al Gore’s brainchild or a Big Bang-style happy accident, allows artists to share their work with the largest audience ever. As a member of that audience I say “thank you!” (I’m not sure where Al Gore stands on Intellegent [...]
Horror comedy enthusiasts, behold! First your patron saint Raimi returns with Drag Me to Hell, and now Norwegian Tommy Wirkola’s Dead Snow comes shambling onto DVD to revive the slap-stick scare routine of the incomparable Evil Dead 2. And for anyone with a zombie fetish or just a plain weird sense of humor (or both), the film’s ’big idea’ is that [...]
This is a cool little bit of news. Universal (and probably all the big guns will follow suit, with the exception of Sony, perhaps) is pairing some of its upcoming Bluray releases with iPhone and iPod Touch apps that will allow for handheld interaction with the film while you are watching it on the screen. [...]
Love or hate Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you have to admit that the movie will undoubtedly sell like gangbusters when it’s released on DVD and Bluray on October 20th. If you’re really in love with the film, you can pick up a special edition of it at Best Buy stores, where it comes bundled [...]
Like it was for many males of my generation, Fight Club was a formative film of my youth. It was brutal, hip, mean and fun — everything that a young teenager aspires to be! Unlike many other males of my generation, I understood it was satirical and sarcastic, and that fight clubs were indeed not [...]
Main Feature I really wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this film. On one hand I’m a fan of Baz Luhrmann’s previous work especially Strictly Ballroom which I found so refreshing all those years ago and still do. On the other hand I’m not a fan of Nicole Kidman’s acting and from early interviews I [...]
Main Feature This film, based on true events which had a profound effect on the world, needs little introduction. Gandhi is an epic in every sense of the word from its passionate subject matter to its lengthy three hours running time. The Academy Awards in 1982 were taken over by Gandhi fever as the film [...]
Main Feature I must admit that when I first heard of this film the thought which crossed my mind came in two parts: “This looks like one of the worst films ever,” and, “although, Anna Faris is hot”. The House Bunny is very much cast from the same mold as Clueless and, more recently, Mean [...]
