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.

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.

Simply judging from the looks of this latest trailer for the Hughes Brothers’ The Book of Eli, we might have our hands on the best post-apocalyptic action film since Mel Gibson took the leather gear off in the 90s.

We just received a few photos from the upcoming thriller The Unborn, and figured, “Why not share them with the fabulous folks who visit Atomic Popcorn?” Below are some screens from the upcoming Rogue Pictures thriller staring the ever-beautiful Odette Yustman of Cloverfield fame. Check out the below photos and let me know what you [...]
David Goyer’s new movie, The Unborn has gotten its first trailer that you can check out below. In all due honesty, this looks like something I may skip. Not that it looks bad at all, its freaky as s%*t to be honest. This is the type of movie, at least for me, that would stick [...]
