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 [...]
Many fans of Watchmen director Zack Snyder will be happy to know that he’s still going strong in the live action movie circuit, despite him helming the Warner Bros animated feature, Guardians of Ga’Hoole. His latest original creation, Sucker Punch, has finally found the actress to fit the bill for the lead role. Previously the [...]
IESB.net is reporting the studio who just got into everyone’s good graces with The Dark Knight and Watchmen has decided they will no longer make their superhero/tentpole films rated R. I’m sure the fact Batman cleaned house with over a billion dollars and Watchmen will barely cross the $100 million mark had something to do [...]
Internet: 2 Studios: 0 The WWW is staring to have a lot more pull in what happens in films than before, and it started with the news 50 Cent was out of The Expendables. The internet nearly exploded worse than the world did on August 29th, 1997 when news broke that Terminator Salvation‘s ending would [...]
Good morning! This is a great day as some new Green Lantern notes have hit the net. I am a big Green Lantern fan and to hear that DC is going to make a faithful movie based on Hal Jordan is good news. And to hear that they are going to start in September is [...]
Warner Bros finally got their rights for Stephen King’s It, the latest to be remade among the many films scattered about recently. Dave Kajgnich (The Invasion) is set to pen the flick, as well as the Pet Sementary and Escape to New York remake. You walk to talk about a busy writer, try being him for [...]
I love Watchmen. It does too many things right for both the fans and lovers of film for anyone to consider it bad filmmaking. It’s already inspiring some good debate much like the graphic novel did twenty-five years ago and none of it is of the “it suxors!” variety. One of the best parts of [...]
(NOTE – I reserve the right to change my final grade or anything in this review. I want to have time for this film to settle in and I’m taking this film very personally as I have a huge love for the graphic novel. Consider this review a work in progress.) The date is July [...]
It seems the guys over at FilmoFilia got their hands on some pretty solid shots of the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight. I would have to say here at Atomic Popcorn, we are pretty stinking excited about this film. Short of having to grovel for early passes, due to our contacts not having a [...]
