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 [...]
If you were to repossess this movie’s stolen parts, there wouldn’t be anything left but a handful of good performances gasping for breath in a pool of half-written ideas. Still, Repo Men is a reasonably fun time at the ol’ cineplex.
When was the last time that we were given a really good sketch-comedy film, packed with big names and famous faces each taking just a few minutes to put us in hysterics and then pass the screen to the next wacky cameo?

A rabid photog on the set of Angelina Jolie’s upcoming spy thriller, Salt, snagged some pics of Jolie. I’m not going to lie to you. They’re not really exciting but even lame-ish pics of Ms. Jolie are better than having no pics of the Lipped One. Salt features Jolie (Wanted, Changeling) as a spy who [...]
2008 finished with three WWII films (Miracle at St. Anna, Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Valkyrie), and 2009 continues the trend with Defiance. Even though Striped Pajamas had the least amount of action, I would say it was by far the strongest of the four films with Defiance coming in a close 2nd. But [...]
