(Roger Longenbach) 9/29/2012 10:22 PM EDT If there is one genre that Hollywood has tried over and over again, with some success and countless failures, it is the comic-book hero. But unlike others, The Avengers is not just about one comic-book hero, but several. Because of this, the movie is also unlike the others. This probably explains its' wild success, leading it ...

(Sean Ferguson) 9/29/2012 9:36 PM EDT A father's love for his daughter knows no bounds, even if you're Dracula. Parents will tell you that wanting to protect their children from the outside world never truly goes away, but what happens when your Immortal? In "Hotel Transylvania", Dracula (Adam Sandler) wants to protect his little girl Mavis (Selena Gomez) from the horror... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 9/28/2012 8:46 AM EDT With Clive Barker's last few films falling on deaf ears and empty seats, writer/director Victor Salva ("Rite of Passage," "Powder," Clownhouse") stepped up to attempt to fill the gap. "Jeepers Creepers" (2001) has much the same dark, foreboding tone that Barker's films possess and much the same degree of s... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/28/2012 8:06 AM EDT The future and the past collide in Looper, a creative action thriller directed by Rian Johnson. This clever crime drama takes the audience to another level with a captivating enigma that holds your interest to the very last dialogue.

(John Delia) 9/27/2012 4:37 PM EDT The final season of one of the most fascinating, eccentric and entertaining shows on television, Desperate Housewives: the Complete 8th and Final Season has been released on a 5 disc DVD set. You don't have to be a rabid fan and follower of the show, but it helps. Each season from the start of Season One we find the four leading ladies,... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/27/2012 4:20 PM EDT Crammed with a lot of cool ghouls, wacky witchery and comedic moments the movie Dark Shadows delivers a fun movie that mature audiences will enjoy.

(Chris Rebholz) 9/27/2012 12:17 PM EDT There are many film critics who have written about the uneven popularity of horror films. Horror films will be popular for a few years, drop off in business, and then see a resurgence. It's also fairly easy to track the trends within horror films. There is a current notion of bringing back the brutal and no-nonsense films of the 70s and we'... Read More |
(Richard Augusztin) 9/24/2012 9:53 PM EDT Although 10 Years started off on the slower side for me, as the movie progressed I realized why; the heart of the film lies with the characters' shared back stories, and how each defies or yields to the expectations set for them long ago. That's exactly what writer/director Jamie Linden has done. If you don't have characters... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/21/2012 11:05 AM EDT With all the crime related shows on television it's hard to choose between them all for this genre of entertainment. This year one show popped up that really has an interesting take on solving the most difficult crimes. It's called Body of Proof and now you can view the second season on DVD. Because the series finishe... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/20/2012 4:39 PM EDT An enjoyable life drama Trouble with the Curve opens in theaters nationwide with a stellar cast playing likeable characters in this modern day sports story.
