(John Delia) 2/14/2013 8:25 AM EST A strong essay on music and interpersonal relationships A Late Quartet comes to home video on Blu-ray and it's good. The stellar ensemble cast provides an introspective look into the lives of friends drawn together by their musical craft and their inevitable separation. The home movie experience on Blu-ray for quality of both video and sound ... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/12/2013 8:54 AM EST One of the best rock musicals of the 70s A Star is Born comes to Blu-ray for the first time. Nicely presented inside a book featuring many of the scenes from the film, the special disc should bring back a lot of memories from an era when rock was king. The film features Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand giving performances that bu... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 2/8/2013 9:40 AM EST The comedy road tripper Identity Thief enters this weekend's film choices on a good note. Although it's not the best relationship film, I found it entertaining especially if you like the dead pan comedy of Jason Bateman and the wild and wackiness of Melissa McCarthy. If you want some guffaws and whoops, then take a ride with a n... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/7/2013 9:43 AM EST Very compelling and gripping, the twisty little film Side Effects has the right cast, direction by Steven Soderbergh and a solid script by Scott Z. Burns. The movie works hard to keep the audience off kilter right up to an ending with a surprising payoff. Drama lovers, film buffs, and those hankering for a good mystery are the main audience f...

(John Delia) 1/31/2013 8:02 PM EST A nice job with a Romeo and Juliet theme, Warm Bodies shows what a imaginative writer/director can do with a zombie love story. The slick little romancer creates fun out of terror and sends a lot of subliminal messages. Perfect for teens to twenties, it's the perfect modern day date movie with both sexes looking for fun and some creative horr... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/30/2013 9:33 PM EST The film Stand Up Guys being released this weekend in theaters has a nice touch. It brings together three of the most revered stars in a film emulating some of their past acting gigs. It's a testimonial to their craft that puts them in front of a camera, aged and changed from their earlier Oscar winning performances and still commanding the s... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/30/2013 9:29 PM EST Peter Pan: a long-awaited addition to Disney's Blu-ray canon that should make anyone's collection feel more whole, more complete. It isn't just a personal favorite either. It's one of Walt Disney's most beloved animated classics, one of the studio's greatest treasures and arguably the best Disney animated feature released in...

(John Delia) 1/30/2013 2:04 PM EST Not one of Stallone's best efforts or Walter Hill's for that matter, Bullet to the Head's just another partner film with a lot of mayhem and familiar one-liners. Missing the chemistry of the Stallone of yesteryears, the master of the choreographed fight has become too repetitive accepting too many of the same roles lately. I... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/30/2013 10:54 AM EST When you first start watching the just released DVD of Femme Fatales Season 1 the first thing probably crossing your mind would be "just another skin flick". But, after getting into the stories I found more like a Twilight Zone with stylish nudity and sex. Packed with some very intriguing stories in 13 twisty and twisted episo... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/28/2013 9:05 AM EST While I am not a huge fan of Woody Allen's work I did find Hannah and Her Sisters an enjoyable film to watch. Now on Blu-ray for the first time the Academy Award winning film has exceptional acting, reasonably good direction and a story that does compel one to keep going to Allen's interesting choice of a finale. Nicely transferred from scree... Read More |
