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 [...]
I am a big fan of HBO and much of HBO’s original programming, now it looks like there will be another quality production added to the long list of HBO classics. I almost forgot to mention that this instant (fingers crossed) classic, directed by Barry Levinson, could star a great (I’m talkin’ not seen since Any Given Sunday) [...]
Mia Wasikowska, the Australian actress soon to be seen in Amelia and as the lead in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, is in final discussions to join the cast of Gus Van Sant’s new project, Restless. Van Sant is the director of Elephant and the Oscar-winning Milk. Restless will be made through Columbia Pictures. So [...]
This past week, I revisited the Back to the Future trilogy, directed by Robert Zemeckis. These films essentially laid the groundwork for Michael J. Fox’s career — the man is synonymous with Marty McFly. The movies are a mad dash, guaranteed to raise your stress level and blood pressure no matter how many times you [...]
Bryce Dallas Howard is royal blood in Hollywood, single-handedly able to use her name’s sway to push projects into motion and repeatedly save the career of M. Night Shyamalan. Also, she’s as talented as the best actresses on the scene today, so I wouldn’t dare complain. Lately, she’s convinced first time writer friend Jason Lew [...]
We have some info on the upcoming release of Milk on Blu-Ray. I have yet to see the award winning film, but I will own it on Blu-ray in a few weeks. Here is the press release below. OVERVIEW: Winner of two Academy Awards® including Best Actor for Sean Penn and Best Original Screenplay for [...]
Last night, the 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards aired on VH1, and it was met with tumultuous applause. Well, at least one particular award was and I’ll give you three guesses which, but you’re only going to need one. Of course, I’m talking about the late Heath Ledger receiving a standing ovation after the actor [...]
Milk is the story of Harvey Milk. It’s a film that could have easily been a politicized puff piece dedicated to a so-called Great American Hero. Instead, director Gus Van Sant tells the story of a rather lucky gay guy who, by natural charisma and a borderline unhealthy love of power, begins a wave of [...]
