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 [...]
Hollywood is where I’ve had most of my werewolf encounters but enough about Robin Williams. Let’s explore this particular pack of Tinseltown werewolf as I wanna hear your pick for the alpha male to lead the pack. Benicio Del Toro has his The Wolfman set for a very romantic Valentine’s Day weekend theatrical release (February 12, 2010) while you’ll have [...]
From the director of Wild Hogs comes Old Dogs, which looks equally awful, but Walt Becker has a good rhyme scheme going for his career, especially considering Wild Hogs 2 is on the horizon. That’s right, John Travolta is returning for another career thrashing with the director who showed promise with the Ryan Reynolds vehicle [...]
For anyone who has already seen World’s Greatest Dad, directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, understands that it is very hard to write a review without giving away anything. Let me just say, and try not to bring up again, that things will happen in this film that you probably haven’t read about…yet. World’s Greatest Dad is [...]
Bobcat Goldthwait’s World’s Greatest Dad earned acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival for its irreverent tone, unusually dark humor and a reportedly fantastic performance by comedian Robin Williams. While the film has all the makings of an underground success, it will hopefully be a landmark performance for Williams, whose talent has recently been undermined by shallow [...]
This wasn’t supposed to happen. A sequel to a mildly amusing family adventure flick isn’t supposed to be funny, entertaining and easily the most delightful film seen this year, yet, despite nearly the same plot from its predecessor and most of the same jokes, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a blast. [...]
Movies like the film in question are pretty critic proof. What my review is for anyone over the age of ten is more of a survival guide even though I’m approaching it like I do every film. Kids are going to want to see it and most parents aren’t going to bring them to the [...]
Night at the Museum 2 or Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian is a movie for all of you out there. Ben Stiller stars again as Larry Daley, the night watchmen we have all come to adore and laugh at. The hilarity ensues with the likes of Amy Adams, Hank Azaria and Jonah [...]
