(Chris Rebholz) 1/17/2014 10:31 AM EDT The internet has probably been as much of a curse as it has been a blessing, and perhaps nowhere is that first tendency as clearly evident as in the case of online gambling. In days of yore, one had to go to physical establishments (most of them in places like Las Vegas) to get a dose of adrenaline as dice were tossed or cards were dealt. But with ... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/16/2014 3:37 PM EDT Filled with intrigue and mystery one of novelist Tom Clancy's more ambitious books "The Teeth of the Tiger" comes to the screen as Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. The film turns the clock back on the main character to his college days where he gets pressed into service by the CIA. It's a fairly complicated film at first, but tends ... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/16/2014 10:13 AM EDT Getting very goofy and wacky comes natural to Kevin Hart and with Ice Cube as his partner in Ride Along he does it well. The story may be a little hackneyed and predictable, but it's their comedic performances that make the movie fun. Whether you are a Kevin Hart fan or just like a lot of craziness in your film diet, than drive over to ... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 1/10/2014 10:46 AM EDT Once the scrawny kid from "3rd Rock From the Sun," Gordon-Levitt has filled out for the role of a modern-day Don Juan, who is first seen deep in the throes of orgasm. Looking like a castaway from "Jersey Shore," gym-built, greasy-haired bartender Jon has been getting his jollies from explicit videos three, four, sometimes 10 tim... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 1/10/2014 9:08 AM EDT One of the better features at the movies "Her" has been released wide after a short limited release that qualifies it for the Oscar race. The Sci-Fi comedy/drama that takes place in the future uses some of the phone knowledge we have today adding many twists on the potential of our present day communications. With a brilliant ...

(John Delia) 1/9/2014 4:18 PM EDT A startling true story reaches theaters this weekend and it's very realistic. Lone Survivor takes the viewer on an ‘edge of your seat' trip into Afghanistan with a Navy Seals squad. It's not a documentary, but a gut wrenching drama that shows the brutal fighting that goes on in a country in turmoil. Extremely well acted, directed ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 4:20 PM EDT It's a truism that kids can't wait to grow up, while adults, especially those of a certain age, wouldn't mind shaving a few years off of their adulthood to return to a more youthful time. That latter formulation is almost always tempered with statements like "if I knew then what I know now," a summation of one of the salient p... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 3:42 PM EDT For the longest time I have been a big fan of the 80's teen comedy Teen Wolf. True, it was pretty cheesy and totally unrealistic but who cares? It was fun, silly and starred an actor (Michael J. Fox) who was on the verge on breaking big into film with his next film, Back to the Future. So when I found a couple years ago that a re-make of sorts was ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 3:33 PM EDT Luc Besson's recent film The Family ups the ante of ridiculousness protection by placing an entire family under witness protection and then shipping them off to the picturesque region of Normandy in France. Besson is of course better known for exploiting the visceral action adventure activity of criminals in films like Léon: The Professi... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 3:16 PM EDT I'll be honest, when Burn Notice first came to the airwaves, I liked it. I enjoyed the spy angle mixed with the everyday nuances of a guy who clearly is unable to form attachments to those around him. It made me really wonder if this is what it took to work for the C.I.A. After about 2 seasons of the show, I stopped watching. Not because I felt it ... Read More |
