(John Delia) 10/31/2013 4:29 PM EDT There's a lot of buzz going on about Last Vegas and rightly so. The high energy comedy casts a dream team of actors, a top notch director and a story by the writer of The Guilt Trip that turns up the laughter in every scene. With Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline in the lead roles, it's The Hangover for the... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/31/2013 9:47 AM EDT Teens will have a blast with Ender's Game a science fiction adventure that's well acted and directed. The much read novel by Orson Scott Card focuses on the target audience putting youngsters in the roles of saving the Earth. Using amazing special effects that transport the audience into space the book transfers to the screen exceptionally we... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/30/2013 2:23 PM EDT Sandra Bullock both brought the house down and up to its feet into a standing ovation when she started off her acceptance speech for having won the Best Actress Academy Award for The Blind Side with her wonderfully self-deprecating query, "Did I really earn this, or did I just wear you all down?" Many pundits, including Variety, the so-ca... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 10/30/2013 11:45 AM EDT There has been a lot of talk over the past several years about the so-called "Disneyfication" of Times Square and Broadway. Broadway, once the purview of creative types who would bring completely original entries to the stage, has increasingly become a warehouse for adaptations of films. Disney has been one of the prime beneficiaries of t... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/30/2013 9:42 AM EDT The 3D availability on Blu-ray just got better with the release of Disney/PIXAR's Cars and even better in a combo pack. The fun film with an extraordinary plot that offers moral values like friendship, honesty, love and integrity is perfect for the whole family. The film has been released in a combo pack that contains the 3D Blu-ray... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/29/2013 10:14 AM EDT It wasn't so long ago that Pixar rejected the idea of churning out sequels to its greatest hits. Toy Story was the exception rather than the rule, having been succeeded by two critically hailed sequels -- the first in 1999, the second in 2010 -- each one arguably better than the last. But then, in 2011, came John Lasseter's middle of the ro... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/25/2013 12:49 PM EDT Nine years ago, few film fans knew the name James Wan. Then along came a little genre gem about a devious serial killer with a penchant for traps. Wan's shockingly low budget Saw (2004) not only took audiences by storm, it became one of the year's biggest overnight Hollywood success stories; one that spawned six sequels over the next six Ha...

(John Delia) 10/24/2013 8:10 PM EDT No surprises here, Ridley Scott continues his inscrutable melodramas with The Counselor a weak film that's well acted by a stellar cast, but with a theme that's worn-out. While the cinematography gives his film a nice flare, the story and script by Cormac McCarthy who gave us No Country For Old Men and The Road could surly have been more or... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/22/2013 8:39 AM EDT I've reviewed my fair share of movies and TV shows. A number of them have come from the USA Network. Of all of them, I would say that White Collar is easily my favorite. The rich well developed characters and the fun stories are so addicting. While Season 4 seemed to be hitting a bit off the mark as with previous seasons, I still fo... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/17/2013 8:38 AM EDT Well the ex-Governor and ex-boxer finally get full feature screen time together in their new film Escape Plan and they haven't broken the formula yet. Playing familiar roles, delivering pedestrian lines and punching their way through this prison story that could easily have been made for cable, the two icons create a lot of their usual fu...
