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 [...]
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a film bursting with awesome. Somehow, director Edgar Wright has managed to craft a film so entertaining, so heartwarming, so fun, its a wonder this film doesn’t explode under the pressure of its own awesome.
Although the show floor was opened up last night, the San Diego Comic-Con officially opened today. Read this concise wrap-up of everything important that you missed at the con.

Instead of being released at the end of next month, it will now [...]
Paper Heart is the quirky indie film most of its ilk want to be. The flick delivers enough quirkiness only to reel itself back in when it feels overloaded, while maintaining its message. It’s aware when enough is enough, and hopes we accept the gimmick it presents. Even with its gimmick, the filmmakers know they [...]
Scott Pilgrim, sounds familiar right? Most likely not? Yeah, I thought so. Recently I was introduced to Scott Pilgrim by a friend of mine, Blanca, who had a majority of the comics. She was ranting and raving at me about how much she liked the comics, which are really funny and good, and how disappointed [...]
Year One wants it’s audience to believe it’s Agent Sands at the end of Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The film blindly fires it’s comedy at us, hoping things will hit us and evoke mountains of laughter. Why shouldn’t it? It’s directed by Harold “Egon” Ramis who’s done some decent comedy directing and is [...]
