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 [...]
Something wicked this way comes…it’s the human race, and we’re using clones to keep pace.
With Inception, Christopher Nolan delivers the perfect blend of action and intelligence. A precisely constructed script told through striking visuals set to a superb score.
I used to think that only Peter Falk told age-inappropriate stories to minors; leave it to Dr. Walter Bishop to drop “Brown Betty” on an 8-year-old. No, I’m not foolish enough to think that Olivia’s niece Ella wasn’t already in for a less-than-normal childhood but when you’ve got an “uncle” like Walter you’re destined for [...]

Today, we have a full blown trailer for the movie, and it looks amazingly faithful to the spirit and sense of adventure of the original. In [...]
I’ll admit right now that I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy-sci-fi. I don’t dislike the genre, it just isn’t one of my favorites. Thus, I have not caught the fever surrounding James Cameron’s latest film, the animated adventure Avatar. While I personally may have a lackluster enthusiasm for the movie, the amount Avatar made [...]
There is a certain miraculous effect in the world of movies and television. Somehow, when a certain TV show or film is bad enough, it circles back around, becoming good. It’s the same scientific principle that draws gawkers to circus sideshows; we can’t believe something so ridiculous could possibly exist, we must see it with [...]
Quick, when I say the words “SyFy Original Movie,” what images immediately rush to mind? Hokey CGI effects? Laughable character motivation? Bafflingly obtuse plots and stories? Now imagine this heralded brand, responsible for such masterpieces as “Ice Spiders” and “S.S. Doomtrooper,” attempting to interpret one of the most beloved pieces of western fiction ever. This [...]
