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 Expendables is exactly what we were expecting – a great 80s action film. But is that enough?
It seems like just yesterday that the much-ballyhooed sequel to last year’s smash horror hit Paranormal Activity was in mortal danger. Last month, Kevin Greutert, the director of Saw VI, had been tapped to handle the project, but through some kind of legal juggling act, Lionsgate roped him back into spearheading this October’s Saw VII [...]
Last week it was reported that Saw VI director, and longtime series editor Kevin Greutert had officially signed on to helm the sequel to last year’s breakout horror hit Paranormal Activity for Paramount Pictures. However, news is now buzzing (no pun intended, Saw fans) that Lionsgate is exercising a clause in Greutert’s contract that would [...]
While NBC may have just lost their Conan (O’Brien, that is), Lionsgate has just found theirs. Actor Jason Momoa has officially been cast to take on the role of Conan the Barbarian, which was made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger back in 1982. Momoa spent the last week meeting and screen-testing with Lionsgate execs, ultimately beating [...]
Lionsgate just unleashed this eye-popping one-sheet for the Matthew Vaughn film based on Mark Millar’s acclaimed Marvel comic book series. Kick-Ass follows a group of costumed vigilantes through a gritty, “real world” setting. No superpowers necessary. They just kick ass. Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is a nerdy high-schooler and an avid comic book reader that [...]
Saw is starting to become more of an event than a film, which is actually ok. Why shouldn’t there be a horror series that gets released every Halloween just to stay in the spirit of things? And hey, at least Lionsgate seems to put effort into these movies instead of make them cash-ins. With Saw [...]
More Than A Game hit me a on a personal level. No, I didn’t spew hate all over it because it involves a Cleveland team nor did I walk out of the theater cursing Kristopher Belman for being a Clowns fan or supporting LeBron James. No, his film impacted me in the sense that I [...]
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 [...]
