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.

Instead, the film is filled to the brim with great performances, and Kruger’s role as Bridget Von Hammersmark may get overlooked next to Brad Pitt’s Aldo [...]
Here’s the short and sweet Quentin Tarantino news of the past week: Inglourious Basterds’ wild success, both with audiences and critics, has given the director the breathing room to admit he wants to revisit Uma Thurman and the Kill Bill franchise. Two caveats: 1. (Spoiler) Bill is dead. 2. With the exception of Basterds, Tarantino [...]
For the second weekend in a row the Sony Pictures Animation hit Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs reigns at the top of the box office. Making up about 24.6 million during this September weekend, the children’s book turned feature edged its way past the competition. Facing three first week opening films, the audiences agreed [...]
