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 [...]

I am a big fan of HBO and much of HBO’s original programming, now it looks like there will be another quality production added to the long list of HBO classics. I almost forgot to mention that this instant (fingers crossed) classic, directed by Barry Levinson, could star a great (I’m talkin’ not seen since Any Given Sunday) [...]

Nelson, known for his off-kilter character work in films like O’ Brother, Wher Art Thou?, Holes and Minority Report, is directing and starring in this story of identical twins who conspire to take [...]

Famed actress Susan Sarandon is seeping her way into Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, directed by Oliver Stone. Sarandon is in talks to play the mother of young Wall Street trader Jacob (Shia LaBeouf) who falls under the seductive influence of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) (CS!). Also casted in the movie is Frank Langella who’s [...]
Straight from the creative talents of Peter Jackson comes the latest fantasy thriller, yet another novel adaptation, The Lovely Bones. Starring the wonderful talents of Susan Sarandon, Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg and so on, this is one of the more anticipated films of this fall lineup. Finally jumping its way onto computers everywhere, here is [...]
Here he comes…here comes Speed Racer. He’s a demon on wheels. I am a big Speed Racer fan. I used to rush home after school to catch Speed Racer before doing my homework. I even wanted to paint my bike white and put a red 5 on the side to make it my Mach 5. [...]
