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 [...]
The Tron: Legacy trailer is nearly upon us, and Disney has been releasing daily images via the film’s Facebook page. We have already seen pics of Flynn (Jeff Bridges), Flynn’s son and the exterior of Flynn’s arcade. Today’s pic actually takes us into the arcade, and the way the image is arranged draws memories of [...]
Hailee Steinfeld has been selected to play the lead role of Mattie Ross in the Charles Portis adaptation. Steinfeld joins Josh Brolin, Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges in what could launch her young career to stardom. Unlike the 1959 big screen adaptation in which John Wayne’s character was the lead the Coens plan to stick [...]
I don’t know about you but Keanu Reeves took one look at this poster and said “Whoa.” I said something like that but far less memorable, my point is — I haven’t seen the first TRON film. I can hear your mouse clicking away from this page, but wait! You’re obviously a fan of the first [...]
Next to spending time with family and opening presents around the Christmas tree my favorite Christmas tradition is seeing a new theatrical release on Christmas Day. I’m barely used to typing 2010 and I already know what movie I’ll be seeing next Christmas Day- The Coen Brothers True Grit remake. A December 25, 2010 release [...]
The winners for the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards are below. I am not going into any detail because you all don’t care! Some of the bigger winners were James Cameron, Sandra Bullock, Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges, and Jason Reitman. Here are the results of the categories we all care about – winner is [...]
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 [...]
It seems that Fox Searchlight, desperate to have at least one film out by the end of the year (looks like they oddly don’t have enough on their plate this season) will be bumping Crazy Heart up to a December 16 release date. It’s a little romantic drama of sorts, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and the [...]
November 6th will see the release of the much anticipated The Men Who Stare at Goats. The film about an army battalion of “psychic spies” stars four Hollywood’s heavyweights: George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, and Ewan McGregor. Although each actor is well-known and has been in stand-out movies–Spacey in American Beauty, Clooney in Ocean’s [...]
