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 [...]
With over 500 million active users per day, Facebook is the second most popular site on the web, trailing Google alone. I think we all know first-hand how popular the social network is, but this movie isn’t about that. David Fincher’s The Social Network tells the story an angry hacker with a genius idea and how Facebook not only came into existence, but also caused him to destroy the only real friendships he had.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is the first installment of a trilogy of books written by Stieg Larsson. Larsson was a journalist who [...]
Welcome back to AP’s Comic-Con coverage. Here’s the highlights from Day Two of the San Diego Comic-Con.
After a few teaser trailers, which may or may not have been real, Yahoo! Movies has the premiere of the full-length trailer for David Fincher’s The Social Network, and, well, you should just watch it.
After hovering over several projects, David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) has signed on to direct an American adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” The Swedish version of which is out in limited release in the States.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a terrifically thrilling and agonizingly taut mystery epic; it creates an arcane hedge maze of corrupt industrial legacies and dark family secrets and populates that maze with a pair of most extraordinary protagonists. It’s quite possibly the best pulp thriller in several years. David Fincher has reportedly been [...]
David Fincher’s career is pretty much flawless. You might cry “blasphemy!” simply because of Alien 3, but I’ll be very honest with you: that is not a bad entry in that series, no matter what you might believe. And then Fight Club? Zodiac? Seven? Now, he’s working on an adaptation of the Max Ehrlich novel [...]
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 [...]
