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 [...]
John Amiel’s Creation is a curious beast indeed; a film about a great thinker struggling with dilemmas of faith and belief that ultimately strands itself by failing to properly observe its subject. The life of Charles Darwin definitely has filmmaking potential, and personally I might have preferred to see a picture that followed his travels [...]
In the span of a year, writer/director Scott Stewart has gone from being somewhat unheard of in the world of film to having two theatrical releases attached to his name. First was his Paul Bettany-starring religiously themed horror film Legion, swiftly followed by … another religiously themed horror film, Priest. Paul Bettany will star in [...]
Creation, the Charles Darwin biopic starring A Beautiful Mind stars Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, has been in release limbo for a while due to the fact that no distributor — for whatever reason — wanted to touch it. Directed by The Core helmer Jon Amiel, Creation stars Bettany and Connelly as Darwin and wife [...]
The last time I talked about Priest was when I was ruminating about Scott Stewart (founder of The Orphanage and recent genre writer/director) and his other religiously based horror film, Legion. Like Legion, Priest has a cast headed up by Paul Bettany. From various sources this week, it seems that Stewart’s film has gotten several [...]
The cast continues on growing as True Blood blood sucker Stephen Moyer and 90210 cast member Lily Collins join up on the newest manga adaptation Priest. Originally adapted from a widely popular Tokyopop distributed South Korean comic, even though it is entitled to be called an ‘adaptation’ it is vastly far from it. The adaptation stars [...]
This week in “where in God’s name did this come from?”: the red band trailer for the new Paul Bettany apocalyptic action movie Legion has arrived on the scene, looking twisted, bloody and more than a little silly.
Cam Gigandet, one of the blood thirsty evil vampires in the tween girls smash hit Twilight, puts his fangs back on in the very loose Korean comic adaptation of Priest. Taking the role of a half vampire wasteland sheriff who helps in the quest of tracking down Ivan Issacs’ kidnapped niece. Set already in the [...]
