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 [...]
Oren Peli’s horror flick Paranormal Activity has garnered such unexpected success that Paramount Pictures is expanding the film’s showings for already the second time since its theatrical release. The movie was originally released in a select few big cities in the U.S., quickly selling out screenings and eliciting positive reviews. The film met with such [...]

[...]
G.I. Joe, where have you been all summer? Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and X-Men Origins: Wolverine failed to deliver the kind of mindless, entertaining fun that summer so often brings while everything else outside of Star Trek has been more concerned with being artistic than enjoyable. It’s strange, scribing those sentences and the ones [...]
Nobody at Paramount Pictures this morning had to worry about the overall box office (and those that do should get their head examined) intake totaled in so far for action mainstream director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Joining The Dark Knight in its gigantic numbers (despite the huge wave of negative reviews), Transformers [...]
Generally, I like Michael Bay and will defend the guy when my peers and others claim he’s terrible or one of the worst people alive in the world today. The guy knows what he makes even if he indulges in himself a little too much at times. His films (outside of that bastardization of an [...]
Gracing its way onto all of our computer monitors, the guys at SuperHero Hype! have blossomed out with the first teaser trailer for the latest M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Last Airbender. Originally based off of a Nickelodeon animated show of the same name, this feature follows the adventures of Aang (Noah Ringer), a ten [...]
Screw you, I like Michael Bay. Yeah, the guy made Pearl Harbor and likely he’ll never get over that one but the guy knows what he is (as evidenced by the awesome Verizon commercial.) Whether it’s the pure hilariously badness of Armageddon or the greatness that is Bad Boys II, Bay has mostly delivered on [...]
