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.

With ostrich racing brigands, swirling sand storms and slithering serpents, Mike Newell’s Prince of Persia brings the style but forgets the substance.
Walt Disney Pictures has now unleashed yet another full-length trailer for the fast-approaching Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is definitely aiming to recapture his Pirates of the Caribbean mojo with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, if this trailer is any indication. From the humor on display to the cinematography, this thing wishes so badly it had Johnny Depp in its clutches. However, it gets Jake Gyllenhaal instead. Which [...]
If anything, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time finally looks to break the trend of crummy video game adaptations. We’ve suffered three Resident Evils, two Mortal Kombats, two Street Fighers, and one Super Mario Bros. and of all of them, none have been remotely good (although Street Fighter is pretty laughable.) Enter Jerry Bruckheimer [...]
