(Chris Rebholz) 3/22/2013 1:50 PM EDT Before Peter Jackson's take on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the closest J.R.R. Tolkien fans ever got to a live-action film adaptation of Middle Earth was 1988's Willow, which borrows heavily from the writer's alternate medieval universe. Besides dueling sorcerers, castle sieges, and trolls, both works feature diminutive heroes who hee... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 3/22/2013 1:46 PM EDT Disney is keenly aware of the appeal and reach of its catalog, down to the best and worst films under the Mouse House banner. Titles like Cinderella and Peter Pan arrive separately and to great fanfare, while other titles shuffle onto shelves en masse, sans the red-carpet treatment afforded their Platinum and Diamond Edition brethren. Last year, it... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 3/22/2013 9:06 AM EDT One of the best action films this year, Olympus Has Fallen provides continuous action, intrigue and drama with a subject fresh in the news. Adding a bit of realism during the release of the film is the recent activity in North Korea making this film a possible wakeup call. This work of fiction by Film District gives a chilling reminder that w... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 3/21/2013 10:08 PM EDT Glitz, glamor, gross, guns, and gratuitous nudity, violence, drugs and sex, that's the sum of the new film Spring Breakers in theaters this weekend. While they bill the film as a comedy, there's not much of that and as for drama the acting's so poor it's more laughable than tragic. I will say that they did get something right for the target a...

(John Delia) 3/21/2013 10:05 PM EDT You've seen Ice Age, maybe even remember The Flint Stones, but they can't hold a candle to The Croods, a prehistoric family that puts the an A in adventure and animation with characters that are downright silly and I mean that in a good way. The very funny script, excellent 3D and a fine recognizable voice cast are the reasons to take your family t... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 3/21/2013 10:01 PM EDT An interesting film for the subject matter that's shows the inner workings of a student Admissions Department of a major college and a spoof that dampens the credibility of that office plagues the film Admission, now in theaters. The film could have easily been an episode on a television show rather than a major release at the movies.The admissions... Read More |
(John Delia) 3/18/2013 3:10 PM EDT From flying fish to tiger strikes Life of Pi comes to home video with an adventure that will startle, amaze and exhilarate your senses. The movie received 11 Oscar nominations and won 5 including Best Director for Ang Lee. The production features some of the best cinematography I have ever seen on home video, especially the knock out 3D... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 3/16/2013 8:20 PM EDT An unexpected journey indeed... The humble, altogether simple story of "The Hobbit" becomes the grand, still relatively simple story of The Hobbit, with a smart series of additions, clarifications, expansions and only a few questionable tweaks or misguided deviations. Told in flashback (with several flashbacks within that flashback),... Read More |
(John Delia) 3/15/2013 8:09 AM EDT Bringing the workings of the police emergency 911 to the screen, The Call makes for a very edgy thriller with a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The excellent direction of the terror script with fine acting from Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin makes everything so real I found myself gripping the seat at times. Jor... Read More |
(John Delia) 3/14/2013 4:24 PM EDT One of the most sensitive and disturbing themes fuels Lore, a mesmerizing drama opening this weekend in theaters. It's about the opposite side of the coin when Germany gets taken by the Allies during WWII. Seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old German girl, this film takes you on a journey that will shock, outrage and sadden. It's 1945 a... Read More |
