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 [...]
Eat Pray Love? I saw because I’m a critic, its what I do. But why would anyone have any interest in seeing this film?
If you haven’t seen the previews for this all over the television or heard that this was written for Brad Pitt who turned it down and then rewritten fro Angelina, well get your head out of you know where.

“The Smurfs” has begun production with a great cast, but will it please fans of the original series or be just a formulaic kids movie?

Now Black may be settling back into the director’s chair in order to revive the long-dead silver screen legacy of classic adventure hero Doc Savage. [...]
Really, Hollywood? You’re giving us another remake? Great. This time, Columbia Pictures is tackling the Audrey Hepburn classic My Fair Lady, the story of a flower girl’s transformation to fit in high society under the guidance of a snobby professor. My Fair Lady itself was actually based off George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, although it [...]
Columbia Pictures picked up the rights to a screen adaptation of the video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune back in June, and Kyle Ward was quickly attached to write. Due to other commitments, Ward has now gracefully bowed out of the project, and screenwriting duo Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer stepped in to take his [...]
The day of the screening I was joking around with some friends at my day job and came up with this snazzy catchphrase regarding the new movie 2012: “Only John Cusack can outrun disasters of massive proportions but not be able to stop the disaster that was his character’s marriage.” I knew that Amanda Peet [...]
