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 [...]
The Nicolas Cage studded film Knowing took the cake for this box office weekend as it breezes past the competition. Following very swiftly on its tail are two other films that opened this weekend. The second in the trio of new releases is the Tony Gilroy film Duplicity. Starring Julia Robers and Clive Owen, it [...]
In a not-so-surprising turn of events this past weekend, Race to Witch Mountain breezed past the grim Watchmen. Race To Witch Mountain, held up by Disney and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson managed to come up on top with an estimated $25 Million. The Disney induced remake stars Johnson as a cab driver who picks [...]
It’s that time of week again for your ladies out there to get all excited to hear the sound of our manly voices. Oh, um that was our other podcast we do. This week we hope you tuned in to listen to our ranting about all of the latest Hollywood hype, the crap that is [...]
Although Watchmen is an adult-orientated comic book adaptation about a masked vigilante called Rorschach who delves into the mysterious murder of Edward Blake, it still managed to rake in $55.7 million in the box office. Opening up to a rivaling record amount of sold out IMAX theatres next to The Dark Knight, it was purely predictable that [...]
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 [...]
This week we come back with a slightly refined AtomicCast. We chatted it up about all sorts of things but we mainly talked about you know what. Well what do you think we talked about? Seriously, the biggest thing to hit a March in a long long time – Watchmen!! Rate R and kicking some [...]
(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’s now March which means the NCAA Tournament is on the horizon (YES!), St. Patrick’s Day is close (UH OH!) and the spring movie season is in full swing. Over the past few years, the spring season has become pretty lucrative thanks in large part to films like 300. Today we’re gonna break down the [...]
