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 [...]
It’s likely you’ve seen Clifton Collins Jr. but haven’t known it. He took on Captain Kirk and company as Ayel, Nero’s right hand man in Star Trek as well as making Chev Chelios’ life more of a living hell as El Huron in Crank: High Voltage. Entertainment has spanned his family for generations, notably with [...]
With June now leaving us, this marks the midway point of the year. It also means Comic Con, District 9, the 2009 NFL Season (GO STEELERS), my birthday, and Christmas are all around the corner. It also means it’s time to take a look at as of right now are the ten best films of [...]
Critics be damned. Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made $112 million over this past weekend, making it the first $100 million weekend winner of 2009. This brings the action extravaganza to a staggering total of $203.8 million domestically, but love of giant fighting robots isn’t only held by Yanks. Globally Transformers 2 has [...]

Coming at you now and every Friday from here on is a new thing we’re calling The Wrong Guess where I’ll do my best to predict what the weekend totals for the box office. First we’re going to take a look at the top five from last week and I may have been the only [...]
Paramount is shifting it’s focus to franchise films & more control over it’s slate in hopes to generate profits. Investors were particularly pleased with the success of Star Trek although Paramount remains in the red with losses of $123 million in the first quarter of 2009 alone. “We weren’t in control of our release slate [...]
Well now we begin what I like to know mainly as the box office waltz, where each summer movie at this moment that gets released (and is big time) gets a slice of the number one spot. It doesn’t happen all summer though, usually lasts until the start or mid-June, but the latest Ron Howard [...]
Many sorts beamed their way towards their local movie theater or IMAX in order to see the latest sci-fi romp of the ongoing franchise in J.J. Abram’s Star Trek, and boy did they prove it. Not only did Star Trek beat out The Dark Knight in the highest box office gross for IMAX showings across [...]
