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 [...]
Although the show floor was opened up last night, the San Diego Comic-Con officially opened today. Read this concise wrap-up of everything important that you missed at the con.
As a film fan, I’m always refreshed and inspired when I get to see great actors commiting themselves to a worthy project, and watching their partnership with directors who understand instinctively what they want to achieve. Granted, it doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, but I’ve got good news to report this time. The [...]
Atomic Popcorn would like to extend the opportunity to see GET HIM TO THE GREEK, starring Jonah Hill (Superbad), Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and P Diddy. Universal’s hilarious new comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People). The promotional screening will be held on June 3rd [...]

Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) and Ed Helms (The Office) are joining the Duplass Brothers’ stoner comedy Jeff Who Lives At Home. Helms most recently made the successful jump from the small screen to the big screen in last Summer’s hit comedy The Hangover while Segel starred in I Love You, Man as [...]
Lo and behold, we have a brand new trailer for How To Train Your Dragon, starring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, and Jonah Hill. I’ve got to say, I’m really looking forward to this one. I caught up with the children’s book by Cresidda Cowell (which skews much, much younger than Harry Potter [...]
Apparently the 30 year old looking Lindsay Lohan and cheesy yet cool action star Steven Seagal are jumping along into the already blossoming (yet head scratching) cast of Robert Rodriguez’s newest creation, Machete. For those who watched the Rodriguez/Tarantino collaborative feature Grindhouse, Rodriguez had the first mock trailer on it of said film. Featuring badass [...]
