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 [...]
“I want to go to there” to quote the great Liz Lemon that’s exactly how I feel after watching the trailer for Michel Gondry’s blockbuster. I don’t want to run this point through the ground but Michel Gondry (director of such art house classics as Human Nature, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Be Kind [...]
Valentine’s Day has come and gone but you’re still feeling romantic so here’s my top 15 favorite romantic movies or movie romances… I don’t know, I like them and I hope they like me just as much! First up: a classic romantic comedy and its remake, that’s right, Sabrina (1954) and Sabrina (1995). The original was [...]
The first picture from the set of Michel Gondry’s The Green Hornet featuring a glimpse of what Seth Rogen’s costume will look like, and I gotta tell you: don’t expect any surprises. The hero looks like he’s been ripped straight from the old series, and I can’t say that’s a bad thing. I can’t tell [...]
All my worries concerning how Christoph Waltz would follow up his stunning performance as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds were laid to rest when I was informed that the actor had been cast in The Green Hornet. Waltz is set to play the villain Chudnofsky in Michel Gondry’s superhero flick, opposite Seth Rogen as the [...]
It seems that Michel Gondry’s perpetually stalled Green Hornet film has finally started production. Several new names have been added and confirmed in the cast by the film’s press release. The first is Tom Wilkinson, from Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Michael Clayton. The second is David Harbour, of Quantum of Solace [...]
It’s pretty hard for me to get too excited about The Green Hornet. The Michel Gondry/Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg film has plenty of potential but I’ve seen nothing interesting about it due to the amount of times it’s been completely shafted by studio politics and silliness. Now, the film’s release has been pushed back 5 months, [...]
Taiwanese actor-singer and all-around-good-looking chap, Jay Chou, has been cast as Kato, Green Hornet’s sidekick in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the cult ’60s show The Green Hornet. Chou replaces Stephen Chow who left production for reasons unknown but presumably sound. Chou, who is evidently a chart-topping artist at home, was seen in The Curse [...]
