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 [...]

MTV announced yesterday that this year, for the first time, viewers will be able to vote on the nominees for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.
On Friday night fans at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, TX were treated to two trailers and one scene from the upcoming film, Predators. Produced by Robert Rodriguez, the film is a sequel to the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film and stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary and leader of a group of [...]
There is a lot going on under the surface of Andrea Arnold’s Fish Tank and it is a testament to the director’s management of her subject that the film is focused and prickly, instead of muted and insubstantial. Telling a story that will probably be off-hand referenced as the white, British version of Precious, Fish [...]
A film like Hong-Jin’s The Chaser is the exception to the rule for shock-based serial killer films. Speaking as someone who actively avoids most women-in-peril horror pics, I was relieved to find that this Korean offering manages to unhinge and electrify its audience without resorting to loathsome or deviant imagery. Recently William Monahan and Leonardo DiCaprio [...]
Now this is interesting news. Just last week when Matt covered the best fights of movie history, he cited the battle between Norris and Bruce Lee from ‘Way of the Dragon’. It’s a cool movie. Maybe not the best of Lee’s output, but a martial arts fan must give it due respect. As they also must [...]
When the credits started to roll at the end of Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, I was left with an unexpected question. What was the point? Here is a film that would have won Oscars aplenty back in 1956, the year it takes place. But alas, it is now 2010 and there isn’t a single idea [...]
This trailer comes courtesy of the guys over at IGN. This is the new one from director Neil Marshall, who has already given us the action thrillers Dog Soldiers, Descent and Doomsday. This one, called Centurion, moves one letter back in the alphabet but also tells the story of a small group under attack from [...]
