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 [...]
What is Zombieland? Why does everyone keep on talking about it? Yes, I was thinking about that last night when someone mentioned it to me. There are so many zombie movies as comparison to vampire movies that are spawning nowadays, its just overall hard to keep track of what is what. After a little bit [...]
Stephen Chow, who originally was going to direct The Green Hornet and ended up just being Kato in the updated film version of the television show, has abandoned ship.

Raja Gosnell, director of films such as Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Scooby Doo, is setting himself up to hang out with some blue men as he takes on the directing duties of the Smurfs.

He went from being his generation’s Michael Bay (see: Top Gun, Days of Thunder) to developing his own style and being a legitimately good filmmaker (see: Man on Fire, Enemy of the State.) One could say he learned a thing or two from brother [...]
Angels & Demons is like watching Juno. Like that overrated mess from 2007, Ron Howard’s latest film wants to be more than it really is. No one told it that at the end of the day it’s just Indiana Jones with some Bourne sprinkled in. The script tries to mask it’s many shortcomings in religious [...]
Need to get yourself a fix of the painfully awkwardly sweet and charming Michael Cera, or the loud and loveable Jack Black? Well your in luck, because these two guys are running out in about during the dawn of time in director and writer Harold Ramis’ latest adventure-comedy romp, Year One. When a couple of [...]
Not even waiting for the release of the Da Vinci Code’s 2009 sequel, Angels and Demons, Columbia Pictures is already prepping themselves up for a third installment. The Ron Howard directed films are based off of the novels from The Da Vinci Code series, the third installment adapted from the yet-to-be-released “The Lost Symbol” (set [...]
