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.

Announced today from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was the newest date for next year’s Academy Awards. The golden boy will have to sit out a little longer on his shelf by himself, since the [...]
Hollywood continued to shine (on a slightly smaller budget) at the Kodak Theatre for the 81rst Academy Awards.
