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 best surprise behind Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes is its ultimate faithfulness to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s titular detective. While the new film is certainly more action oriented than previous iterations–there’s very little of Basil Rathbone’s tweedy Victorian here– it gets the intellectual and physical energy of Holmes right. Despite a few out-of-place cgi sequences and an [...]
We have a kind soul known simply as ‘Mirko P. from Houston’ to thank for the online launch of the Iron Man 2 trailer. Set to debut in theaters on Christmas Day (and previewed on Entertainment Tonight Wednesday), the trailer is now available on Apple.com. The buzz on this film coming out of Comic-Con was [...]
Academy award winning actor Jamie Foxx is the latest to join the expanding cast of the newest Todd Phillips comedy Due Date. He adds onto the list that already includes Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, and Michelle Monaghan.
