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 [...]
After leaving the theaters on Tuesday and seeing what Spielberg and Abrams brought to he masses, all I had in my head was this cheesy quote. “Storytelling and Filmmaking together again!”. Yes I am aware of the bold statement, but nothing since the likes of The Goonies, Stand By Me, E.T. have we seen a [...]
Get ready, because like it or not, everyone’s favorite archaeologist is headed back to the big screen. Indy 5 is moving forward, albeit slowly. Forget the fact that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull faced almost immediate fan backlash, or that Lucas and Spielberg haven’t exactly been wowing the masses with their [...]
As though we all don’t already think this — the Internet is AWESOME. The Internet, whether Al Gore’s brainchild or a Big Bang-style happy accident, allows artists to share their work with the largest audience ever. As a member of that audience I say “thank you!” (I’m not sure where Al Gore stands on Intellegent [...]
Consider this a continuation of the pursuit of beautiful film-inspired art. We’ve already seen one artist’s interpretation of the Stanley Kubrick classic The Shining now here is another artistic rendition. And Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park- Finally this collection of posters simplified an otherwise complex time travel story if only Doc Brown had these in hand he might have [...]
Legendary director Steven Spielberg is taking his first steps into all-digital, motion-captured filmmaking with his much-anticipated The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn. The Hollywood giant spoke to The Los Angeles Times recently about the project, and about his experience working with a completely computerized world. “It was based on my respect for the [...]
After working for over six months on his remake of 1950′s Harvey, Steven Spielberg announced this week that he was backing out of the project. And this after 20th Century Fox had already scheduled soundstages to be ready to go for the film to begin production at the beginning of 2010. Despite the idea phase [...]
Wow, talk about your power couple. Both giants in their fields, Steven Spielberg and Stephen King are teaming up to bring King’s recently released Under the Dome to the screen. The book, which has already received positive reviews, is a supernatural thriller that follows a town in Maine that has been trapped within an invisible [...]
Having recently revisited Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy, I’ve come to the conclusion that that film has a little slice of everything. It has incredibly light humor followed by the darkest of gallows humor, and then proceeds to toss any funny business aside to strike at some of the darkest themes I’ve ever seen in a film. [...]
