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 [...]
Meet Charlie Wax. He’s a loud, boorish American whose bald-head, quirky shades and ‘screw you’ attitude suggest Bruce Willis’ midlife crisis. Charlie is also a spy, living in France while working to stop an intricate and dangerous web of Chinese drug dealers and Pakistani terrorists.

Even though Striped Pajamas had the least amount of action, I would say it was by far the strongest of the four films with Defiance coming in a close 2nd. But [...]
Utter the words Indiana Jones and immediately everybody knows what you’re talking about. You’re talking about fast-paced, globe-trotting quests for long-lost artifacts, ancient deathtraps and amazing action sequences. But most importantly, you’re talking about a cinematic icon who has become a household name for any film buff. From the fedora hat to the bullwhip, Indiana [...]
The newest trailer for the upcoming Max Payne film featuring Mark Wahlberg has hit the net in a fury. With the statement from Wahlberg that he could kick The Dark Knight‘s ass with his hands, this movie better live up to the video game series. If it doesn’t it will hit bottom very very very [...]
“Cloverfield”, the high-profile monster movie produced by Master of Mystery J.J. Abrahms, has been on DVD for a few months now. And if you were one of the many who caught the film in theaters back at the beginning of the year, then more likely it’s already in your DVD library. However, for those of [...]
