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.

Harold Ramis has a hit on his hands with his latest film Year One. Year One stars the ever lovable Michael Cera, and the ever crazy Jack Black. The two team up with Ramis to create the first years of life on earth. From what I have seen so far its pretty darn funny. Cain [...]
