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. Not to bad for a [...]
Last week I asked if 1965 would bring about ”business as usual” to Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, this week we got a resounding “yes” in “The Rejected.” We start things off with a conference call between Don, Roger and Lee Garner Junior. You see Junior is unsettled by a few new restrictions placed, apparently by his own lawyers, on [...]
“The Good News” starts out with precisely that- good news. Joan can have a baby if and when she wants to. What? Joan had her annual exam and asked her doctor what condition her condition was in. You see she’s had two abortions, one performed by a doctor, and wondered if either procedure had done any damage [...]
Tonight’s episode marked the return of four memorable characters. First there’s Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner’s son Marten as Sally’s neighborhood buddy Glen. Then there’s Pete’s wife Trudy played by Alison Brie whom you must recognize from NBC’s Community. Clean and sober Freddy, and Lee Garner Junior round out our foursome. Glen. I’ve blocked Glen’s [...]
The best show on television just started its fourth season. Were you watching? AMC’s Mad Men premiere picked up just where we left off at the end of last season. Well, not exactly. A year has passed, it’s now 1964 and the monumental changes that occurred last season, notably Don’s divorce from Betty and Sterling Cooper, [...]
July 25th seems like an eternity away but I know that season four of the greatest cable television program (at a time when cable television really has stepped up to the plate and delivered quality programming) on air will air their season premiere. I have a feeling we will all be taken on a pretty interesting [...]
As much as critics and movie fans seem to hate on remakes and reboots, you have to admit that a lot can be done with a remake in talented hands. Examples of this extend back to John Carpenter’s work on The Thing to David Cronenberg’s The Fly. It’s possible. It can be done right. Which [...]
Just last week January Jones revealed that, while they were dating, Ashton Kutcher told her he didn’t think she’d be any good at the acting biz, and that she should call it quits. Well, Jones certainly wasn’t deterred by the lack of support from Kutcher. Already having cemented her place as a TV starlet with [...]
