Real Steel Review: Rocky Robots

Would you rather fight Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky, or an 8-foot-tall, 8000 pound super heavyweight robot? I’d go head-to-head with Rocky over a huge Transformer any day, but luckily in the future where this movie is obviously set, boxing has been outlawed – at least between humans. Now, robots duke it out in the ring controlled by their human counterparts in their respective corners. Real Steel is based on the short story Steel written by Richard Matheson. Hugh Jackman plays the role of Charlie Kenton, once a fighter back in the day but who now pieces together fighting robots with scrap metal. As predictable as Rocky ultimately coming out as a champion, Reel Steel predictably tells…

Survivor South Pacific Results 10/5: Christine Rules Redemption Island

Survivor Season 23 had another elimination tonight and Chrtistine is still the “Queen” of Redemption Island as she survives for one more week. We started tonight by seeing another duel between Papa Bear and Christine where each contestant had to throw small bean bags onto pedistals. This was very close but Christine managed to get her 10 bags up first and send Papa Bear packing. Christine is one tough competitor and will be a force if she makes it back into the game. The first alliance is formed in the Savaii Tribe by Jim, Cochran, and Dawn in an effort to get rid of Elyse. The immunity challenge tonight consisted of each team sending two…

Dancing With The Stars Results 10/4: Chaz Survives Shocking Elimination

Dancing With The Stars had some great competition last night with all contestants scoring over 20 points and only Chaz Bono showed no improvement. Now Chaz Bono started out strong in week one and fell off last week due to some health problems. This week he seemed to just stand there and let his partner Lacey do all the dancing. Maybe he is in more pain than we know. Receiving only a score of 18, he should be the one going home tonight. The voting can change a lot of things on DWTS and we have seen upsets in past seasons. So who is safe and who is going home tonight? America has saved Chaz…

50/50 Review: Can You Make A Comedy About Tragedy?

Inspired by a true story, 50/50 showcases the life of 27 year-old Adam (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt of 500 Days of Summer, Inception, etc.) a Seattle radio producer, who learns that he has a malignant tumor in his spine. Like any other 27 year-old would do, or rather any human being, he looks up at his doctor and asks, “But I’m going to be okay?”  The title of the film is the grim but hopeful answer to that question. The movie is a roller coaster of emotions. 50/50 will have you tearing up with Gordon-Levitt’s flawless performance as he goes through the grueling rituals of a cancer patient – the head shaving, the emotional gatherings…
