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 [...]
It’s a marketing department’s wet dream, but the Pixar formula was bound to ‘crap out’ sooner or later.
The last time we talked about Woody it was the news of Owen Wilson’s joining Woody’s next project. Since then the yet-untitled project has picked up a pair of beautiful Hollywood starlets in Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (La vie en rose) and Rachel McAdams (probably won a Teen Choice Award for something). Filming on [...]
Force actually isn’t a word I’d normally use when talking about either Wilson or Allen but as a native Texan and a big Allen fan this couldn’t be more exciting. Owen Wilson has signed on to star in an untitled Woody Allen project. I’ve been a fan of (though not always pleased with) Owen Wilson since Bottle Rocket. I [...]
A new concept image has just been released by Walt Disney Pictures for next year’s upcoming sequel to Pixar’s Cars. The picture gives us a pretty good idea of what the film’s plot will be, clearly showing the ever-confident Lightning McQueen speeding through the Japanese countryside. That’s right, racing fans, the Pixar sequel will showcase [...]
Owen Wilson is going to the dogs. First he starred alongside an adorable golden lab in Marley and Me, and now he will be starring as…well, as a dog himself. Wilson has signed on to voice the role of Marmaduke, the title character of a long-running comic strip that is being made into a live [...]
This wasn’t supposed to happen. A sequel to a mildly amusing family adventure flick isn’t supposed to be funny, entertaining and easily the most delightful film seen this year, yet, despite nearly the same plot from its predecessor and most of the same jokes, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a blast. [...]
Movies like the film in question are pretty critic proof. What my review is for anyone over the age of ten is more of a survival guide even though I’m approaching it like I do every film. Kids are going to want to see it and most parents aren’t going to bring them to the [...]
Night at the Museum 2 or Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian is a movie for all of you out there. Ben Stiller stars again as Larry Daley, the night watchmen we have all come to adore and laugh at. The hilarity ensues with the likes of Amy Adams, Hank Azaria and Jonah [...]
