Movie Review: The Ides Of March
Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
Movie Review — Restless
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 [...]
Movie Review — Real Steel
“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 [...]
Denzel Washington (The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3) strolls his way off of Unstoppable, the film being spewed out of Twentieth Century Fox. Originally negotiating re-teaming yet again with Tony Scott, he jumps ship after the estimated release date and production budget took too long to gather together. Currently onboard with the upcoming production [...]
For the first time which in this reporter’s opinion seems to be a long while is a tie for first over this past 4th of July weekend. Dreamworks’ Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ties up with the robot-clad Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen both coming in with 42.5 million each. The third installment of [...]
The Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock romantic comedy (I don’t care what you say about the genre Sandra) The Proposal topples over its competition during its opening weekend marking its territory in first place. Raking in an estimated 33.6 million, this film caught the right audience, despite the mixed reviews, and still shows that people [...]
Greaaat day in the morning was I off or what last week? I figured the quartet in Vegas would still pound strong but bland do-gooder Ben Stiller is proving to be a bigger juggernaut than originally thought. As far as Eddie Murphy is concerned, he better start seriously moving the ball on Beverly Hills Cop [...]
Todd Phillips’ sleeper hit The Hangover continues to ride its lucky streak, taking over the number one spot in the box office for the second weekend. Completely toppling over the competition, the raunchy Vegas comedy took in 32.7 million. Already stomping away fellow writer Philip’s prediction on The Wrong Guess (suitably fitting the title) beating it by [...]
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 [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: Give Tony Scott credit, he’s improved over his career. He went from being his generation’s Michael Bay (see: Top Gun, Days of Thunder) to developing his own style and being a legitimately good filmmaker (see: Man on Fire, Enemy of the State.) One could say he learned a thing or two from brother [...]
