(John Delia) 11/12/2012 10:03 AM EDT Vampire movies are certainly making their way into the crowded horror market and a little comedy called Vamps has been released on Blu-ray just in time for the holidays. Not your average repulsive bloodletting fantasy flick, this film tries to entertain making the hideous a laughing matter. While the premise does warrant a chick flick a... Read More |
 
(Paul Kates) 11/07/2012 11:03 AM EDT For the past fifty years, one name has been synonymous with the action movie: James Bond. Fifty years in one profession, spanning 22 feature films, and you would expect the British secret agent with a licence to kill would be worthy of retirement and a decent pension, and that may have been the case when news broke in 2010 of financial troubles at ...

(John Delia) 11/01/2012 8:39 AM EDT Whether you've ever heard of the video game "Fix-It Felix" or played it when you were young, Wreck It Ralph provides a fun time in this adventure for the whole family. Filled with action and comedy the animated film grabs you from the start and involves you in a tale of wonderment and hope. From sassy to sinister, clumsy to crusher ... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 10/31/2012 9:06 AM EDT Set in the 1800s this action thriller has an odd title, one that turns history on its ear. Called Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter, the film exaggerates the famous US President's penchant for destroying evil. More of a horror flick than a history lesson I found the tall tale very entertaining with some excellent CGI to ramp it up. The fil... Read More |
(Eric English) 10/30/2012 3:49 PM EDT As a society we grow more reliant on technological advances everyday. Predictions of how the world would look in a post apocalyptic modern era have largely fallen by the wayside as we ushered in an age of information rather than succumb to our autonomous robot overlords. But what if the opposite were true? 2004's blockbuster "I, Robot"... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/29/2012 10:31 AM EDT Powerful, amazing, entertaining and captivating describes the way I feel about James Cameron's Avatar, a film that's a treat for sci-fi fans and action junkies around the world. Avatar has been recently released in a combo pack that includes Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD all in one box set. The movie gets a startlingly clear and clean transfe... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/29/2012 9:32 AM EDT As a child, there were four films in constant rotation in my life: Return of the Jedi, The Secret of NIMH, The NeverEnding Story and Pete's Dragon. There were other movies scattered about as well. Some beloved, some not-so-beloved. But none were worn more ragged, none were more treasured, none more committed to memory than those four. In the ye... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/28/2012 1:17 PM EDT Since 2009, there have been four "Paranormal Activity" pictures. The last "Silent Hill" movie came out in 2006, which is practically a century in horror film franchise years. Genre fans have short attention spans, making the delayed appearance of "Silent Hill: Revelation" a real head scratcher, especially after the ori... Read More |
 
(Sean Ferguson) 10/25/2012 9:21 AM EDT No cover charge, no stack of singles needed. This week Warner Brothers releases Steven Soderbergh's latest hit "Magic Mike" on Blu-ray to a local store near you. If you don't know about "Magic Mike" and its six-pack abed cast let me give you a quick idea of what this film is all about. Six men dance and strip down to a... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/25/2012 8:30 AM EDT Tedious comes to mind after watching this tale of fantasy that spans six time periods within five centuries played out in nearly 3 hours. Cloud Atlas, although an admirable piece of movie making tends to be so complex that viewers I'm afraid, will just not get it. It's a brain teaser of sorts, one that challenges an audience to connect ... Read More |
