(Chris Rebholz) 02/13/2012 9:11 AM EDT Every so often, there is a movie that is lifted up from an otherwise mediocre state by a piece of acting that's so on-the-spot it makes the rest of the film's faults insignificant, and lifts the it up from the pit of mediocrity into the realm of the fantastic that you're certain to see glowing reviews from the four corners of the world any minu...

(Chris Rebholz) 02/11/2012 9:38 PM EDT There is nary a person alive today who hasn't heard of Star Wars or seen the influence it has had on culture. So to explain it to you seems unnecessary but for the sake of this article let's do so. Star Wars follows a group of resistance fighters who are trying to topple the regime of an evil emperor, at the same time a young farm boy eager to make... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 02/10/2012 9:11 AM EDT Very few men will admit this, but we do have a romantic side. When it comes to cinema there are few films that men will lower themselves to watch because they are just too "girlie" for their tastes, unless there is an over abundance of fart jokes and nudity. However if a film is handled tastefully with well thought out characters most men... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 02/09/2012 10:58 AM EDT Brilliantly written, cunningly directed and very disturbing Shame gives a fly on the wall view of forbidden sex. What makes this film a work of art however, comes with the fine acting by Fassbender and Carey Mulligan who give performances worthy of an Oscar. The story centers on Brandon (Michael Fassbender) a successful businessman... Read More |
(John Delia) 02/09/2012 10:11 AM EDT If you like your movies with constant action from beginning to end, then go and check out Safe House, a thrill a minute. As a matter of fact, Ryan Reynolds has successfully crossed the line between comedy and drama with a performance like he has never delivered. If all of a sudden you get an epiphany on where the film's going, not to wo... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 02/09/2012 8:57 AM EDT Journey 2: The Mysterious Island runs along the same format as the 2008 Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Josh Hutcherson comes back as Sean Anderson while Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson takes on the father figure or I should say step-father character Hank, while Michael Caine adds some class playing Sean's Grandfather Alexander.Sean obvious...

(Stephen Compall) 02/08/2012 11:57 AM EDT What I didn't expect of A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas was to be genuinely laughing at one of the jokes early on. In a blatant display of ubiquitous timeliness, of which most films these days may be accused, a protester was depicted below Harold's (John Cho, Star Trek, FlashForward) office window picketing with the catchy &quo...

(John Delia) 02/03/2012 8:36 AM EDT For the first time being away from his comfort zone of playing Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe takes on a Victorian horror flick called The Woman in Black. Although Radcliffe has shown a strong growth on his way to being an adult film star, he chose this film that has to prove he has made it. Good choice or bad, he's now matured and read... Read More |
(John Delia) 02/02/2012 11:21 AM EDT "It's all the buzz" and for good reason, Chronicle the movie takes aim for a box-office bundle with a "super-powered" film that's directed at one of the largest movie going audiences, pre-teen to 25. The highly imaginative, intensely thrilling teen film pushes all the right buttons providing a feeding for the frenz... Read More |
(John Delia) 01/26/2012 1:34 PM EDT With an exciting beginning and suspense filled story Man on a Ledge entertains those that love a good thriller. With very good performances and an action filled script that's nicely directed this year's box office should leap into high gear. Ex-cop Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) escapes guards at his father's funeral and takes off ... Read More |
