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 [...]
Summer wedding season. Your friends tap you to be in their wedding party. You’ve gotta stay sober ‘til the reception. The ushers aren’t nearly as good looking as your soon-to-be-wed buddy promised. And you’ll never wear that ugly satin dress again, not even if you just shorten it. But you don’t need an ugly dress [...]
Ah, St. Valentine’s Day. The possibilities for writers are endless. Which slant should I take concerning this week’s article? The bitter misanthrope who blasts the artificial sentiment and commercialism? The nuevo-romantic who tries pathetically to ape the poets he studied in college? The warmly contented individual who looks at the world with optimism and satisfaction? [...]
I’m hesitant to even approach this week’s episode of How I Met Your Mother. Normally, I praise a well-executed episode, point out flaws and inconsistencies, or deride a lackluster attempt. But in the end, I’m still supportive of the series as a whole. This week’s episode, however, has so many flagrant offenses, so many pointless [...]
From the very first scene of tonight’s episode, we learn there two of the most important rules regarding Sheldon Cooper. One, he should not be let out in public unsupervised, and two, he should not be allowed to dress himself. Decked out in a blue shirt, a yellow striped tie and a green-checked suit, Sheldon [...]
“This is the most fun I have had since The Hangover!” The Green Hornet is a fun filled, action packed great way to start the 2011 new year! Sitting in the theater expecting a very dull comedic performance from Seth Rogen, my expectations dissolved almost instantly. Seth Rogen and his writing team pulled off a great movie [...]
Over the past few months, I’ve heralded The Big Bang Theory for boldly exploring new territories without actually jumping the shark. And yet, despite my happiness for this development, tonight the show pulled a complete 180-degree turn, making all the changes for naught. Tonight’s episode seemed eerily reminiscent of the first season: Penny was dating [...]
Punchy is back. Punchy is Ted’s old friend whom he hasn’t seen in years. Ted called Punchy on a dare to prove they were still friends. Ted is now slated to be the best man at Punchy’s wedding. I tell you all of this because I am an idiot for not telling you before. I [...]
With Tangled, Disney returns to its roots with a story of a traditional princess, a reluctant hero, and a wicked witch and although many are tired of this old formula, if anyone can do it right it’s Disney.
