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 [...]
Summer wedding season. Your friends tap you to be in their wedding party. You’ve gotta stay sober ‘til the reception. The ushers aren’t nearly as good looking as your soon-to-be-wed buddy promised. And you’ll never wear that ugly satin dress again, not even if you just shorten it. But you don’t need an ugly dress [...]

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 [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: Sometimes, one can expect too much out of a film. It’s not the fault of the film itself, but more on the audience and trailers. The Matrix sequels are the best, recent example of this as most were left generally disappointed. Time at this point has not been kind to either of them [...]
From the inventive mind of Judd Apatow is the latest creation, Funny People. The new dramedy centers around comedian George Simmons (Adam Sandler) who has a near death experience that, with the help of his newfound friend and comedian Ira Wright (Seth Rogen), sends him into a refreshed mindset of what things in life are [...]
Year One wants it’s audience to believe it’s Agent Sands at the end of Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The film blindly fires it’s comedy at us, hoping things will hit us and evoke mountains of laughter. Why shouldn’t it? It’s directed by Harold “Egon” Ramis who’s done some decent comedy directing and is [...]
This quirky, romantic, comedy is from the minds that brought you 40-year-old Virgin, Knocked-up, and Super Bad.

His five-year relationship to Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), the star of [...]
