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 [...]
For fans of The Lord of the Rings, the idea of Peter Jackson taking on The Hobbit was like a fairy tale come true. And much like a fairy tale, there have been many twists and turns that have had fans wondering if this project would ever get off the ground. Worry no longer; production [...]

While we all have read the headlines lately that The Hobbit may be in trouble and may not start on time or possibly at all. We do have a ray of hope from the fine folks over at the Matamata Chronicle. The Matamata Chronicle was given an exclusive tour of Hobbiton as work on the [...]
Golden Globe nominated Tobey Maguire (for his role in Brothers) is leaving the Spider-Man franchise for Guillermo del Toro’s The Hobbit big-screen adaptation. One wonders if the reported changes being made to the Spider-Man franchise didn’t have a lot to do with his decision. Spider-Man’s turn from bright, poppy, action hero to gritty, dark, vigilante [...]
As a big fan of Peter Jackson it pains me to say this. The Lovely Bones simply doesn’t work. Based on a dreamy, meditative book by Alice Sebold, Bones is the very definition of an unfilmable property. On paper it is the haunting story of a 14-year-old girl who is raped and murdered by a [...]
Two months before its January 2010 UK release date, Peter Jackson’s new film The Lovely Bones will be shown at the 2009 Royal Film Performance in November. The annual Royal Film Performance is the biggest fundraising event for Britain’s Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, which aims to provide financial and practical assistance to anyone who [...]
