Movies Out This Weekend (October 12th, 2007)

October 12th, 2007 | Category: Ryan Gosling, Upcoming movies, Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix


This weekend looks disappointing when it comes to movies.

We Own The Night looks like on face value with a potentially good movie involving two actors who can be moved into elite status with another big film. It does have a passing grade but most are calling it a disappointment. This one could be worth seeing if I can get a good review from a friend.

Otherwise there are slim pickings when it comes to new movies.

We have Tyler Perry’s Why Did I get Married? Sounds a lot like Chris Rock’s I think I Love my wife.

Otherwise on the Limited Release section, there is Lars and the Real Girl which looks like an odd Ryan Gosling movie. I wasn’t much of a fan of Half Nelson so unless this one gets rave reviews I won’t be catching this movie.

Half Nelson (2006) Review

August 22nd, 2007 | Category: Ryan Gosling, Film Reviews

Ryan Gosling
Half Nelson stars Ryan Gosling and Shareeka Epps in a movie about a teacher who has a drug habit and he unlikely forms a bond with a student that finds out his secret.

One of the first things I noticed about this movie is that it has a great soundtrack. I am not sure what to make out of this movie. It was good at times and others it just okay. The movie is acted well but I just didn’t think I really felt the true meaning of being in a half nelson when it comes to movies. This movie gets a 3.5 out of 5 from me. Unlike old men and young female bond movies like Lost in Translation and Ghost World this was a step down.
