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 [...]
As an outsider to the cult of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight, I confess to not understanding the draw of Bella Swan and her pasty, blood-sucking paramour. Having not read the novels and seen only the frustratingly bland and often risible first installment, I was less than eager to catch-up with New Moon. After watching it, less-than-eager seems far [...]
The good news about 2009 was that it wasn’t as horrendous as some previous years.
For as large and intense as the Twilight fanbase is, you’d think the makers of New Moon would have expected that viewers would be going over the movie’s details with a fine-tooth comb and done everything to ensure there were no mistakes in the film.

Apparently the U.S. isn’t the only country to have been stricken with New Moon fever.

Well, the vampires did it. After crushing the box office record for biggest draw for a midnight release, New Moon has officially broken the record for best opening day sales. The film’s first day in theaters grossed $72.7 million at 4,024 theaters, easily passing up the amount brought in by former holder of the “best [...]
The sequel to 2008′s Twilight proves that there’s something to be said for having a strong fan base. Despite receiving reviews that range from lukewarm to downright cold, New Moon‘s midnight release showed that a solid — and large — fan following can trump quality of movie as being the main factor in earning box office success. [...]
New Moon: Introducing Team Jacob For fans, the Twilight saga has become a sort of sporting event pitting one team against another. Team Edward was crazed upon the release of last year’s Twilight, and while New Moon is definitely geared toward “the other team,” there is more than adequate sexual tension and angst to satisfy [...]
Twilight fans, get ready to swoon. You might just be able to see your favorite cast members face to face. Summit Entertainment has announced that the cast of The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be doing a nationwide tour in November. The tour will open with a star-studded public even on November 6th in Los [...]
