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 [...]
Horror comedy enthusiasts, behold! First your patron saint Raimi returns with Drag Me to Hell, and now Norwegian Tommy Wirkola’s Dead Snow comes shambling onto DVD to revive the slap-stick scare routine of the incomparable Evil Dead 2. And for anyone with a zombie fetish or just a plain weird sense of humor (or both), the film’s ’big idea’ is that [...]
Gaze at the wonder that is Tim Burton’s Um from Umbridge Alice in Wonderland- I’m trying not to gush but GEEZ this movie looks good! I haven’t been terribly impressed by the trailers but this clip really does it for me. I think the difference is the computer graphics just don’t translate well in the [...]
Here’s the official trailer for Woody Harrelson’s Defendor Whoa! Looks great! Sure it stinks of which came first (Kick-Ass or Defendor?), but who cares? Kick-Ass has a good trailer but doesn’t look to be a good movie while Defendor looks like a great movie and it stars Woody Harrelson! Woody has great comedic timing (Cheers) and a [...]
Hollywood is where I’ve had most of my werewolf encounters but enough about Robin Williams. Let’s explore this particular pack of Tinseltown werewolf as I wanna hear your pick for the alpha male to lead the pack. Benicio Del Toro has his The Wolfman set for a very romantic Valentine’s Day weekend theatrical release (February 12, 2010) while you’ll have [...]
Love or hate Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you have to admit that the movie will undoubtedly sell like gangbusters when it’s released on DVD and Bluray on October 20th. If you’re really in love with the film, you can pick up a special edition of it at Best Buy stores, where it comes bundled [...]
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was a stunning film in terms of tone and aesthetics, especially when compared to the early films in the series. However, not being a die hard fan of the books, I wasn’t able to spot the (apparently abundant) differences between the film and the book. However, the British Board [...]
Main Feature (1H 58M 37S) I have seen this film quite a few times and each time I am left with a different overall opinion. I am always left feeling impressed with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter but that I prefer the more openly psychotic portrayal from Brian Cox in Manhunter. Jodie Foster, fresh from [...]
