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 [...]
The first trailer for Clash of the Titans, directed by Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) has arrived on the scene. And boy is it engineered for a post-MTV generation. This looks like a CGI-fest through and through, and its flashy editing is all bulked up by the rock soundtrack its paired with. In other words: [...]
In any other film besides Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, actress Diane Kruger’s performance would have shined through and gotten her a great deal of attention in the public eye. Instead, the film is filled to the brim with great performances, and Kruger’s role as Bridget Von Hammersmark may get overlooked next to Brad Pitt’s Aldo [...]
Liam Neeson, soon to be seen in The A-Team remake by Joe Carnahan as well as Clash of the Titans, has joined Paul Haggis’ The Next Three Days. Haggis is most notable for writing Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace as well as directing the Oscar-winning Crash. Haggis’ latest film started shooting last Friday, with [...]
Hayao Miyazaki is an icon unto himself as a result of the body of animated masterpieces he’s come up with. From the cuddly cuteness of Totoro, to the beauty and terror of his imagination through Princess Mononoke, each film, though a bit different from the others, never ceases to amaze people worldwide. Gake no Ue [...]
The Hangover’s Bradley Cooper is in negotiations to play Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck in Joe Carnahan’s big-screen adaptation of The A-Team. What, that’s not enough? How about Liam Neeson (who is quite the master of bad-assery in Taken) playing John ‘Hannibal’ Smith? Based on the ’80s TV favorite, the film will keep the basic premise [...]
Actors Liam Neeson (Taken) and Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince) have taken their rightful place as the mighty gods in the remake of Clash of the Titans. Neeson will be taking the throne being the head of the Greek gods, Zeus. Fiennes will slide his way into yet another villainous role as [...]
Perhaps the best thing about Taken is that the film is reminiscent of the old arcade beat-em ups. The film sets up its plot for the first thirty minutes (or opening cut scene) and then becomes Liam Neeson pressing punch, throw and kick buttons for the next hour and a half. It also is a [...]
