Watch the opening tracking shot of Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond The Pines

A lot of buzz has been generated for the Ryan Gosling / Bradley Cooper starrer THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES from director Derek Cianfrance . Some compare it to an arthouse thriller, others a pulpy crime pic, but either way it's definitely got some heat. Our own review called it the best movie of 2013 so far, so there's that. I still have yet to see the film, as it's opened in limited...

Ryan Gosling has been acting too much and needs a break

We can now add Ryan Gosling to the short list of actors who are taking a break from acting. Recently it was announced that Daniel Day-Lewis was taking a time out, and so was Leonardo DiCaprio . Way to go, DiCaprio. This is your chance to get an Oscar, and you've gotta go party with some blonde on a beach somewhere. At least that's what I imagine him doing, aside from sitting on a...

Cool Videos: Check out Ryan Gosling's Acting Range where he can play all sorts of New Yorkers

Now, I know there are haters out there who think the movie DRIVE was bad, but I loved it. However, with every new trailer featuring Gosling, I feel like he is channeling that same exact character over and over again. THE PLACE...

Dr. Who's Matt Smith to star in Ryan Gosling's How to Catch a Monster

As I say this, please don't throw too many rocks at me: I have not been part of the Dr. Who resurgence that started when David Tennant took over back in 2005. As a kid I would catch older episodes here and there on PBS, but I've never been a hardcore fan. Maybe someday I'll sit down and watch the newer episodes but there's only so many hours in the day. Sigh. Fans of the current Dr....

Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper have their heads in the clouds on this poster for The Place Beyond the Pines

After watching Derek Cianfrance 's BLUE VALENTINE, I knew that this guy would go on to direct films with interesting character relationships that feel genuine. While THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES is a bit more of a stretch than the relationship drama contained in BLUE VALENTINE, Cianfrance makes you feel for the character in whatever situation. Of course, after seeing pictures, I...
