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 [...]
Rebooting, revamping, and reimagining all seem to be the way of the movie world these days, and Disney is going to great lengths to make sure that they get in on the game. This December, the studio will be releasing the very long-awaited Tron: Legacy, a sequel to the groundbreaking cult-favorite Tron from the 80′s, [...]
Recently I asked you who your favorite big screen werewolf was and that got me thinkin’ about some other popular characters portrayed by multiple leading men in the movies. This discussion must always start with the character of agent 007 James Bond, best played by Sean Connery. Other popular Bonds were Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore while [...]
Headlining the top of my must-see films this season is Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland. Recently announced to debut in 3-D and releasing at the start of next month, it seems to be on the tip of a lot of movie buff tongues. I’m big fan of Lewis Caroll’s nonsensical novels and with [...]
The first movie advertisement to run during Super Bowl 44 in Miami on CBS was Disney’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND. ALICE was the only film to advertise during the first half of the game starring Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts versus Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. The second film to run an ad [...]
I don’t know about you but Keanu Reeves took one look at this poster and said “Whoa.” I said something like that but far less memorable, my point is — I haven’t seen the first TRON film. I can hear your mouse clicking away from this page, but wait! You’re obviously a fan of the first [...]
Disney recently announced that every Wednesday from now until Alice in Wonderland is released on March 5th will be “Wonderland Wednesdays,” where the studio will reveal clips, featurettes, and concept art from the film. The studio followed through on this, and the first Wonderland Wednesday item was a snippet of scenes featuring the Mad Hatter [...]
I was part of the lucky generation of moviegoers that were privy to some of the biggest Disney hits. One of the first movies I remember seeing in the theater was The Little Mermaid, and from that point on I was hooked on Disney movies. Even at 22 years old, I’m still a sucker for [...]
Disney’s newest princess won’t be making her screen debut for a few more weeks, but The Princess and the Frog‘s Princess Tiana is already being embraced as much as Disney’s longer-established princesses. In less than a month, more than 45,000 Princess Tiana dolls have made their way off shelves, three times as many Princess Tiana [...]
