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 [...]
“The Art of the Steal” is rare in the documentary format in that it succeeds in telling a story. Director Don Argott succeeds in crafting a wonderful tale of political corruption and greed.
Where do you see Sayid going from here, and what were your perceptions of that final scene, with Locke’s army marching off into the woods
I was part of the lucky generation of moviegoers that were privy to some of the biggest Disney hits. One of the first movies I remember seeing in the theater was The Little Mermaid, and from that point on I was hooked on Disney movies. Even at 22 years old, I’m still a sucker for [...]
Main Feature (1H 58M 37S) I have seen this film quite a few times and each time I am left with a different overall opinion.

Main Feature (1H 49M 6S) Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had the unenviable task of following two of the most successful and critically acclaimed Sci-Fi films of all time. Regardless of what this had to offer it was on to a beating from the point of its conception. This is a special effects playground [...]
Main Feature Standard Operating Procedure, directed by Errol Morris, is a documentary film which covers the events surrounding the widely publicized mistreatment of prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Morris is no stranger to controversy as evident by two of his previous films, The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line, with the [...]
Main Feature Two stoners find themselves on the run after one of them witnesses a drug-lord murdering a business rival. James Franco plays drug-dealer Saul Silver and Seth Rogen pretty much plays himself but for the sake of this review his character is named Dale Denton. I must point out that I believe there’s a [...]
2008 finished with three WWII films (Miracle at St. Anna, Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Valkyrie), and 2009 continues the trend with Defiance. Even though Striped Pajamas had the least amount of action, I would say it was by far the strongest of the four films with Defiance coming in a close 2nd. But [...]
