(Chris Rebholz) 2/13/2014 9:07 AM EST For the tenth anniversary of Clint Eastwood's multi-Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby, Warner Home Video is reissuing the title on Blu-ray, having previously released it in November 2006, in the format's early days. However, Blu-ray fans will be disappointed to learn that, despite over seven years of advances in the technology and craft of ... Read More |
 
(Paul Kates) 2/11/2014 8:56 AM EST In the year 2028, OmniCorp rules the world in robot technologies. Their robots are deployed all around the globe keeping law and order on the streets, except in one country, America. The U.S. has the Dreyfuss Act -- a law forbidding the use of drones on its street. OmniCorp's CEO, Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton), sees a way of getting around the l... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 2/6/2014 11:22 AM EST If you are looking for a big action film from this weekend's Monuments Men, it's not. More of a historical recreation of the true events, the movie tries very hard to open the window to an important part of WWII history, but barely achieves it. Loading the movie with familiar faces of top actors, director George Clooney makes his film m... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/31/2014 8:38 AM EST Here's a chick flick with a lot of face time with upcoming stars. It's called That Awkward Moment and features Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan. The film's a romancer that has a lot of appeal, except the storyline is quite hackneyed and very predictable. The saving grace here is the snappy comedy that keeps the script... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/30/2014 12:38 PM EST Finally making its way into many theaters after a soft opening in December, Labor Day adds some drama to the weekend. The film features some good acting, able direction and a story that intrigues, but gets hung up in reality issues. If you accept the story as played out you will enjoy it, otherwise the box of tissues you bring will be for nau... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 1/27/2014 4:24 PM EST Will James Gandolfini be the latest recipient of a posthumous Academy Award nomination? The Academy Awards haven't been shy about recognizing deceased performers and behind the scenes craftsmen from literally the first year the statuettes were handed out. Many other less generally known names have received at least nominations through the years... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/27/2014 4:07 PM EST It's been a longstanding conceit for television shows featuring the same production houses or other creative staff to occasionally cross-promote themselves by having various characters show up on sibling series. The incestuous "rural" comedies that were CBS' mainstay in the 1960s are a prime example, with various characters in The... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/20/2014 9:58 AM EST Interviewed about the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, actor Jackie Earle Haley was asked why anyone would want to step into the shoes of Robert Englund in the iconic role of Freddy Krueger. Haley gave an interesting answer. He pointed out that the studio was going to remake the film whether or not he took the role. Why not see what he cou... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/17/2014 10:31 AM EST The internet has probably been as much of a curse as it has been a blessing, and perhaps nowhere is that first tendency as clearly evident as in the case of online gambling. In days of yore, one had to go to physical establishments (most of them in places like Las Vegas) to get a dose of adrenaline as dice were tossed or cards were dealt. But with ... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/16/2014 3:37 PM EST Filled with intrigue and mystery one of novelist Tom Clancy's more ambitious books "The Teeth of the Tiger" comes to the screen as Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. The film turns the clock back on the main character to his college days where he gets pressed into service by the CIA. It's a fairly complicated film at first, but tends ... Read More |
