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 [...]

Valentine’s Day has come and gone but you’re still feeling romantic so here’s my top 15 favorite romantic movies or movie romances… I don’t know, I like them and I hope they like me just as much!

There used to be a time, not so very long ago, when a film starring Will Ferrell would instantly draw in crowds and see box office success. Whether Ferrell has simply been making poor project choices, or whether his reign as Hollywood’s leading funny man has just been passed on, one thing is for certain: [...]
Seven out of ten times, I’m going to come out enjoying a film that operates on its own terms. It’s the first and best thing I can say about Michael Mann, which just adds to my fanboy nature when it comes to his work. As a more recent example, the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man [...]
This is a great year for George Clooney. He’s got Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air on the horizon, as well as Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare At Goats. Both films look superb. It could also be a great year for you, because you stand a chance at winning goodies from The Men Who [...]
With a great trailer and an even better cast, Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare at Goats has hooked me; it’s an instant must-see. You may remember Heslov as a skinny nerdy character actor from what feels like a thousand films (he was in Congo and Dante’s Peak, just to name some off the top of my head). [...]
Angels & Demons is like watching Juno. Like that overrated mess from 2007, Ron Howard’s latest film wants to be more than it really is. No one told it that at the end of the day it’s just Indiana Jones with some Bourne sprinkled in. The script tries to mask it’s many shortcomings in religious [...]
Deception, the latest film with Ewan Mcgregor, Michelle Williams, and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) looks like the next installment of Fatal Attraction crossed with Wall Street. More about the film can be read below or seen on the official site here. In the erotic thriller DECEPTION, for Manhattan power brokers whose eighteen-hour days leave no time [...]
