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 [...]
A.K.A. LOTR Edition or Vuvuzela Edition, also Buzzing Noise Edition… am I annoying you yet? good! I’m doing my best vuvuzela impersonation. As you’ve probably guessed this video has something to do with soccer, specifically the 2010 FIFA World Cup currently being played in South Africa, and Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. I bet you [...]
I can’t say I’m entirely surprised by the new rumor that actor/writer/director Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom, the upcoming Battleship movie) is leaving the new film version of Frank Herbert’s Dune by the wayside. It’s a huge property that has not only been done before (twice), but it also doesn’t seem to lend itself to [...]
I could talk about Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 until I’m exhausted. It was one of my very favorite films of the summer and probably the year, and if you haven’t seen it you should. There’s been a lot of ballyhoo since its release regarding what director Blomkamp would choose to do next — the success [...]
Our hero Wikus is another fool endlessly tortured by greedy commerce as Ellen Ripley is. In these science fiction stories, human beings cease to be that and are tools, methods to weaponry, and lives are decided by suits.
(Perhaps inherent spoilers for District 9 follow.) Not even a week after Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 has been a success unforeseen by mainstream audiences, the film’s director is talking up a possible sequel. Blomkamp revealed to Fangoria Radio that he’d “love to make a sequel, because it’s so creatively rewarding to me; there’s just something about [the [...]
Midway through District 9, this viewer witnessed something slightly different than what was happening on-screen. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was zapped into oblivion while Star Trek was blasted through some shacks. Terminator Salvation and Angels & Demons where blown to smithereens, The Hangover and The Proposal ran when they saw Pelham 1-2-3 massacred as Transformers: Revenge [...]
Stealing is wrong, and it’s a lesson that should be taught to one at a young age. With so many movie websites nowadays, most of us follow a code of ethics to link to the site with the source material. What we don’t do is take another sites content and claim it as our own. [...]
