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.

I haven’t been terribly impressed by the trailers but this clip really does it for me. I think the difference is the computer graphics just don’t translate well in the [...]
Headlining the top of my must-see films this season is Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland. Recently announced to debut in 3-D and releasing at the start of next month, it seems to be on the tip of a lot of movie buff tongues. I’m big fan of Lewis Caroll’s nonsensical novels and with [...]

ALICE was the only film to advertise during the first half of the game starring Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts versus Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
