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 [...]
There are certain steps that one must take in order to cope with the loss of a loved one. While Burke, played by Aaron Eckhart, walks people through their grievances, he avoids facing his own – until he comes face to face with Eloise, played by Jennifer Aniston. From there he must deal with the [...]
Justin Theroux, seen in films such as Miami Vice and The Ten, needs to prepare his evil cackle since he has been casted as the villain in the fantasy comedy Your Highness. He already is included in a pretty cool cast which includes James Franco, Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride and others. ‘Highness’ is [...]
BioShock is seriously one of the greatest games ever made. The whole thing plays out like a well scripted novel, and immerses you in its world to where you actually feel like you’ve been and visited Rapture. That, and the joy it brings to catch a grenade in mid-air only to launch it back at [...]
Normally when a film leaves me cold, I tend to shy away from thinking about said picture. If I must, I’ll ponder the film and realize that I’d just seen a film I wanted to like, but had ultimately witnessed something mediocre or worse. Walking out of Inglourious Basterds, I recalled the same feeling as [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: Sometimes, one can expect too much out of a film. It’s not the fault of the film itself, but more on the audience and trailers. The Matrix sequels are the best, recent example of this as most were left generally disappointed. Time at this point has not been kind to either of them [...]
Scott Pilgrim, sounds familiar right? Most likely not? Yeah, I thought so. Recently I was introduced to Scott Pilgrim by a friend of mine, Blanca, who had a majority of the comics. She was ranting and raving at me about how much she liked the comics, which are really funny and good, and how disappointed [...]
Throughout Bruno, one wonders if the point of the film is for Sacha Baron Cohen to try too hard. He might have been with his previous effort Borat, with the difference being that film felt natural. That’s not to say Baron Cohen’s latest venture doesn’t as it’s amazing he pulled so many people in on [...]
Video game adaptations will never die, despite what we all might think after the abomination trilogy on the big screen that is Resident Evil. Still taking great advantage of this semi popular genre of sorts, Universal Pictures nabbed itself the rights to the hit 1979 Atari game, Asteroids. For those of you who do remember [...]
