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 [...]
Check out these wonderful minimalistic movie posters designed by Grischa Stanjek (Atomic Popcorn reader) who so graciously shared this personal project with us and now we’re sharing it with all of you! The goal Grischa set for this project was to “reduce each movie to one single object” and I’d say Grischa achieved that goal with [...]
Machete, Robert Rogriquez’s feature spin-off of a trailer from the Rodriguez/Tarantino double-feature, Grindhouse, has been slotted for release on September 3rd.
After his success in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” Christoph Waltz is looking to make his feature directing debut with the romantic comedy “Auf und Davon” (Up and Away).
Since the dawn of the motion picture industry people have been trying to capture the essence of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre on film. In fact, since the first silent film was released in 1915 there has been at least one movie or television adaptation per decade.
Cary Fukunaga’s new project will be the first feature length Jane of the new millennium.

This assignment involved using these tools of literature to explore a work outside of the [...]
Here’s the short and sweet Quentin Tarantino news of the past week: Inglourious Basterds’ wild success, both with audiences and critics, has given the director the breathing room to admit he wants to revisit Uma Thurman and the Kill Bill franchise. Two caveats: 1. (Spoiler) Bill is dead. 2. With the exception of Basterds, Tarantino [...]
The Bear Jew himself, Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever) has finally pushed through the media madness that followed Inglourious Basterds and is now showcasing the two simultaneous projects he’s been talking up for a while. He’s wrapping up the script for his sci-fi flick Endangered Species while he gets ready for his Louisiana exorcism movie [...]
Basterds on the other hand — it’s a film about wounded people, angry people, lashing out at each other with all of their talents, as diverse as they may be. For Hugo, this equates to a bloodbath. Shoshanna is fire and smoke and theatrics. For Col. HansLanda, words are enough to pierce to the bone, and he knows it.
