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 [...]
Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures are actually moving ahead with the sequel to mixed-reviewed Clash of the Titans, which could be expected as early as spring 2012. Louis Leterrie will not direct this time, instead sitting in the Executive Producer’s chair. Most critics blamed Leterrie for the problems in the first film (there’s a reason [...]
The Hangover is easily the biggest surprise hit of 2009. The R-rated comedy, with a 35-million-dollar budget, was loved by audiences and, all-told, raked in almost $500 million at the box office, as well as over $150 million on home video.

This film joins the list of many remakes of the same title, with its original being a 1981 live action and stop motion animation feature. The Greek [...]
Bryan Singer is ready to take on giants in his own film version of Jack the Giant Killer. The Superman Returns director hops on board underneath New Line Cinemas and Legendary Pictures. The script is being penned by Darren Lemke (Shrek Forever) and Mark Bomback (Race to Witch Mountain). Ori Marmur, Michele Weiss and Michael [...]
The Hangover falls victim to having it’s best laughs in the trailer, something most comedies walk right into. Todd Phillips’ new film also lets a few gags run on too long and it features subplots that are unnecessary. Yet with all of this, it’s hard not to laugh at it when it hits the right [...]
Jumping from a Terminator to Perseus, Sam Worthington is definitely filling up his days. Who is Perseus you say? Why he’s the main character in the 2010 remake of the eighties film Clash of the Titans. Straight off the set of the in-the-middle-of-filming production is the first small batch of production photos (special thanks to [...]
