While watching the 2003 religious comedy, Bruce Almighty, on TV the other day, I realized the film marked a critical turning point in the careers of two actors: Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. It's not very apparent within the film itself, but after its release, Carrey's popularity and marketability began to wane, while Carell's increased. What's funny about the whole situation is that it wasn't planned or expected; just another day at the office for everyone involved.

Rocky Robo-Picture Show
Recently released Real Steel was mocked on concept before it even hit theaters and while it has Hollywood branding all over it, the film is not short on execution. It's a classic estranged family story combined with the popular elements of Rocky with some robots thrown in which add some parallels to modern techno-dependence. Bottom line, if you can swallow the concept, the rest of the film is smooth sailing.
