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 [...]
What’s summer blockbuster season without a little Michael Bay Go Boom? A cold, lonely season, that’s what. The folks at Transformers: Dark of the Moon want you to wet your whistle with a sneak-peek at the latest movie in the Transformers series. The Apple Web site has the first peek at this new trailer. [...]
Transformers director Michael Bay may be adding a dimension to the third installment in the hugely profitable action series. In interviews following the release of last year’s remarkably successful Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen, Bay hinted at a slight distaste for the rash of recent 3D blockbusters, regarding them as “gimmicks.” However, it now [...]
Producer Timur Bekmambetov, the Russian director behind Night Watch, Wanted, and 9, has released the trailer for his new film Black Lightning. While you probably won’t understand a word of the trailer unless you’re fluent in Russian, the visuals tell the story entirely: a boy gets a flying car and begins to fight crime and [...]
Action movie director Michael Bay appears again, in the form of his own message board for his latest announcement. He comes out with what is the latest on the third film in the Transformers movie franchise, along with a snippet for actress Megan Fox to read: Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 [...]
This past week, I revisited the Back to the Future trilogy, directed by Robert Zemeckis. These films essentially laid the groundwork for Michael J. Fox’s career — the man is synonymous with Marty McFly. The movies are a mad dash, guaranteed to raise your stress level and blood pressure no matter how many times you [...]
Undoubtedly due to the success of Michael Bay’s little art house Transformers pictures and Stephen Sommers’ surprisingly entertaining G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (not to mention a whole slew of popular LEGO-themed video games), we might be in for a Warner Bros. LEGO film. Variety is currently reporting that writers Dan and Kevin Hageman are crafting a [...]
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the film that just won’t die. Just when you think that the headiness of its debut was over, boom, the damn thing picks up steam and is closing in on becoming the biggest movie of the year. Not bad for a film that can not find a friend in [...]
Generally, I like Michael Bay and will defend the guy when my peers and others claim he’s terrible or one of the worst people alive in the world today. The guy knows what he makes even if he indulges in himself a little too much at times. His films (outside of that bastardization of an [...]
