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 [...]
127 Hours is an incredible journey. What would you do if you came face-to-face with death?

Secretariat follows a specific formula, but in the process creates a surprisingly good film. It is simple to predict what will happen, especially considering the real-life origin of the story, but keeps your interest through great acting and direction.

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.
As a film fan, I’m always refreshed and inspired when I get to see great actors commiting themselves to a worthy project, and watching their partnership with directors who understand instinctively what they want to achieve. Granted, it doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, but I’ve got good news to report this time. The [...]
After months and months of speculation and casting announcements, it seems that Disney, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and new director Rob Marshall are finally done with prepping the new Pirates of the Carribean installment and are ready to leave port with it. Walt Disney Pictures just issued a press release today stating that filming is finally [...]
The new Karate Kid retains everything that made us love the original and even finds ways to improve it
Is Tom Cruise’s burly, foul-mouthed producer alter-ego, Les Grossman headed to the big screen on his own? Looks that way. Grossman, who made his screen debut in 2008’s raunch comedy Tropic Thunder also took the stage Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards, where he busted out in a rap dance that looked similar to the [...]
