(John Delia) 1/30/2013 10:54 AM EDT When you first start watching the just released DVD of Femme Fatales Season 1 the first thing probably crossing your mind would be "just another skin flick". But, after getting into the stories I found more like a Twilight Zone with stylish nudity and sex. Packed with some very intriguing stories in 13 twisty and twisted episo... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 1/28/2013 9:05 AM EDT While I am not a huge fan of Woody Allen's work I did find Hannah and Her Sisters an enjoyable film to watch. Now on Blu-ray for the first time the Academy Award winning film has exceptional acting, reasonably good direction and a story that does compel one to keep going to Allen's interesting choice of a finale. Nicely transferred from scree... Read More |

(John Delia) 1/18/2013 9:15 PM EDT The inspirational film Won't Back Down is now available on Blu-ray. Taking the fight for better education to the classroom this story based on actual events postulate what determined teachers and parents can accomplish if they work together.

(John Delia) 1/18/2013 7:19 AM EDT Tough cop, cagy police chief, bad mayor the film Broken City comes to theaters this weekend telling a wicked tale of graft and corruption in New York City. The well acted and interesting story gives a good show, but gets quite predictable and familiar. If you like raw crime thrillers with a political backdrop, Broken City has both. The m... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/17/2013 3:34 PM EDT ARNOLD IS BACK! A little loss for wear, yet he's still a winner in my book with his new film The Last Stand. Action lovers and fans of Schwarzenegger are in for a real treat with this rock em' sock em' explosive film that brings back memories of the Arnold of yesteryear ‘s Terminator series. The well written script, kick-butt dire... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 1/17/2013 9:00 AM EDT Winner of six Oscars including the coveted Best Picture Mrs. Miniver topped the box-office in 1942 with a war story that inspires. If you love the classics that have survived over the years, than this film, now on Blu-ray, should be in your home library. The film's a great change from today's storytelling with acting that has hardly been equa... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/16/2013 9:24 AM EDT The Oscar winner for Best Picture in 1932, Grand Hotel has been released on Blu-ray and it is stunning in gorgeous black and white. A great film with an amazing cast that provides a whimsical and intriguing story should not be missed. If you are a classic buff, what are you waiting for? The film centers on several guests and employ... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/15/2013 9:35 AM EDT The touching and incredibly performed and directed Driving Miss Daisy has been released in Blu-ray for the first time and comes in a special 32 page hard cover book. The film received 4 Academy awards including Best Picture at the Oscars in 1989. The film's not only a story of friendship, but a visit to the past covering the 1940s through the... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/10/2013 10:22 AM EDT Los Angeles relives it's gritty past in this fictional account of a real mob boss in Gangster Squad. The violent crime film has an exceptional A-list cast with creative sets, period costumes and props that resemble the era, but the lifeless storyline just doesn't do it for me. The script with its over indulgence in Tommy gun fire, explosions,... Read More |
