Movie Review: The Ides Of March
Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
Movie Review — Restless
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 [...]
Movie Review — Real Steel
“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 [...]
Think of it as The Bourne Locker. Greengrass and Damon bring us The Green Zone, a frenzied, fast-paced war thriller that races through the turbulent streets of Baghdad looking for elusive WMDs.
Here it is at last! The 2010 Academy Awards! Who’s bringing home the Oscars? James Cameron or Kathryn Bigelow, or will Tarantino stage an upset? Will The Dude Lebowski have a best actor win under his belt? The stars are crossing the Red Carpet right now and in a few hours Alec Baldwin and Steve [...]
It’s that time again. Puxatawney Phil has seen his shadow, Lost is back on the air, and the Oscar nominations have been announced. And, to be honest, there are very few surprises here. Granted, I’m a little late in breaking the news here, but if anything, this list proves there was no news to break. [...]
Acclaimed director Kathryn Bigelow will be reuniting with Mark Boal for the upcoming action-adventure flick Triple Frontier. The team that brought this summer’s critical darling, The Hurt Locker, will focus on a story that is described as a “high-stakes ensemble project.” Though details are scarce, the film takes place in the border region of Paraguay, [...]
Three viewings in, and I still believe The Hurt Locker is the best film of the year, and maybe last year too. Kathryn Bigelow has crafted a film that is perfectly paced, acted, directed, and features the action scene to beat this year. It’s the first film of the year that makes a strong case [...]
Kathryn Bigelow is one of Hollywood’s best talents. Never heard of her? Well surely one has seen her films as she’s done Point Break, Near Dark, and K-19: The Widowmaker. As far as female directors go, there’s something that separates Bigelow from the rest of the pack in that she can construct a good film. [...]
Being previously showcased on an earlier Under the Radar and what seems to be tons of coverage coming out from Philip on said film shows basically that all of us here at AP love us some Kathryn Bigelow. Already released in select cities, which basically means New York and Los Angeles, the Iraqi war drama [...]
A beautiful thing happened at The Arclight today. As I stood drooling over the bomb suit from The Hurt Locker, I looked over at the showtimes from the films playing tonight. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen had not sold out a single showing today to which some surprise came over me. Even more jumped in [...]
