(John Delia) 11/21/2013 4:13 PM EDT What starts out a typical Vince Vaughn comedy becomes a heartfelt dramedy in the film Delivery Man. The movie takes audiences into the world of a sperm donor and how one person can complicate the lives of the 533 children of the recipients. The story is a fantasy, but it's also a cool "what if" question that makes the mo... Read More |
(John Delia) 11/21/2013 11:32 AM EDT Home fun for the whole family arrives on November 19th with the release of Planes in a Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD combo pack just in time for holiday giving. The animated comedy takes flight for the youngsters who like the excitement of racing and making new friends. The film features quality principles that include friendship, helping ot... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 11/19/2013 10:51 AM EDT It would be easy to simply stamp Turbo as DreamWorks' Cars rip-off. Certainly the similarities are striking, from high speed animated racing and a spot on the map on the verge of extinction right down to the chrome font featured on the poster art. That doesn't mean Turbo can't hold its own in a race against Pixar's speed-centric dig... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 11/19/2013 9:28 AM EDT Great news for fans of The Hunger Games: the girl is on fire again and burning just as brightly as before. The second movie in the popular franchise, Catching Fire, opens where the first movie left off, with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, X-Men: First Class, Silver Linings Playbook) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson, ...

(Chris Rebholz) 11/12/2013 8:49 AM EDT Batman might seem to be the DC hero most likely to be involved in a soap opera. After all, he was traumatized by seeing his parents killed right before his very eyes as a little boy, and in his original story he seemed to be a midnight vigilante barely able to control his more violent instincts. And yet it's been Superman who has been the subje... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 11/8/2013 8:48 AM EDT Now that we're firmly into Phase Two of Marvel's plan for total cinema domination, the titles are coming thick and fast.The next Captain America (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) will be along in the spring, and in a year that's already brought the terrific Iron Man 3 we now have this sequel to Thor, a movie that was bright, funny and carried a...

(Chris Rebholz) 11/6/2013 10:43 AM EDT *Note: This review focuses on the extended version of the recently released Blu-ray of The Hobbit, all video/audio specs and special features focus on this release specifically.It was bound to disappoint. With expectations at an enormous high, a 48fps experiment in tow, and fandom, both literary and cinematic, frothing at the mouth, poised to strik... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 11/6/2013 9:45 AM EDT There seem to be a couple widely known "truths" about the pornographic industry, one of which is probably verifiable if one were to dig into the numbers, the other a little harder to quantify but nevertheless hard to dismiss. The first is that porn is the industry that truly drives home video commerce, not the mainstream hits on the digit... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 11/5/2013 12:36 PM EDT One almost has to giggle at the irony inherent in The Internship with regard to Google's well publicized ability to tailor ads for specific people via its technologies like AdSense. This too long and not funny enough supposed comedy deals with two misfit guys, maybe not exactly "middle aged" (as euphemistic as that term is, typically)... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 11/5/2013 12:20 PM EDT If you're too young to have experienced the era of the family station wagon, you may not initially understand the phrase "the way way back", for it referred to the most posterior section of the car, where quite frequently the third seat faced backwards. As the youngest of three children, I can tell you from personal experience that it... Read More |
