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 [...]
Remember Me is a tragedy. What’s tragic is that after finding its legs and delivering several wonderful and on-point moments, Remember Me destroys every single thing that came before with an ill concieved, nearly flabbergasting ending that doesn’t just cheapen the film and its characters, but renders them all inconsequential.

For the film, he’s even snagged Harry’s original director, Chris Columbus. The good news for Percy [...]

This discussion must always start with the character of agent 007 James Bond, best played by Sean Connery. Other popular Bonds were Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore while [...]
Is it possible that I’m actually intrigued by Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief after this trailer? Chris Columbus’ attempt to fill the upcoming Harry Potter film vacuum seemed rather derivative and vapid in it’s first teaser, but now that I’ve seen that leading actor Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma) has been surrounded [...]
Let me clear the air by saying that I was unwillingly dragged to see “Mamma Mia!”, the latest Hollywood interpretation of a stage musical. Clearly, I’m not the type of person the people behind the film adaptation of “Mamma Mia!” were trying to please. People like me, who are generally against musicals can and should [...]
