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.

Inception has a great advertising campaign behind it. There is not doubt in my mind, of the last few years this movie has been kept a secret and baffled many, and on purpose. With that said, I have still not read the below synopsis from Warner Brothers on Nolan’s latest beauty. I want to go [...]

Recently William Monahan and Leonardo DiCaprio [...]
When the credits started to roll at the end of Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, I was left with an unexpected question. What was the point? Here is a film that would have won Oscars aplenty back in 1956, the year it takes place. But alas, it is now 2010 and there isn’t a single idea [...]
I have been stoked for the release of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s most recent collaboration, Shutter Island, since back in October when I saw the trailer before Paranormal Activity. While I’m a huge Leo fan and am partial to pretty much anything with him in it, the fact that Shutter Island has Scorsese and [...]
When it was all said and done the New Orleans Saints were Super Bowl Champs and Hollywood had a bunch o’ movies that wanted to advertise during the big game. We already talked about Alice in Wonderland and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time; joining those two were M. Night Shyamalan’s Avatar The Last [...]
