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 [...]
Here now, is the most powerful and emotional film of the year so far; Jacques Audiard’s “Un Prophète, a story of one man’s growing up in a violent prison system. The film is captivating, unrelenting and even kind of epic as it goes about its business of turning a familiar, well-worn story into an engrossing character [...]

There’s no word yet as to what role Worthington will be playing, but the movie’s plot is a near-futuristic story about the U.S. government’s plans to secretly broadcast [...]
Just last week January Jones revealed that, while they were dating, Ashton Kutcher told her he didn’t think she’d be any good at the acting biz, and that she should call it quits. Well, Jones certainly wasn’t deterred by the lack of support from Kutcher. Already having cemented her place as a TV starlet with [...]
New distributor Apparition has managed to maintain incredibly tight-lipped about Terrence Malick’s upcoming film Tree of Life. Very little is known even in regards to the plot of the film, which would seem unusual with just over two months remaining until the film’s original release date of December 25th.

I have read and re-read the following about a dozen times, and still remain unable to completely wrap my head around it. Let’s see if you have any better luck.
