(Chris Rebholz) 10/10/2012 9:22 AM EDT Firstly, yes, "Prometheus" is a prequel to "Alien." 20th Century Fox played coy with the pre-release details for a reason, hoping that they could create generous buzz and a bit of mystery surrounding a sensitive production. Unfortunately, it wasn't an especially satisfying prequel to "Alien," doing away with the or... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 10/10/2012 8:52 AM EDT With a blast from the past The War of the Roses has returned on Blu-ray Disc. Although it's billed as a comedy, most of the on screen time involves the drama that takes place between the three main actors. Slow moving in parts, the character build up to a remarkable finale is worth the wait. The film centers on the Roses, Oliver (M... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 10/8/2012 9:49 AM EDT Jimmy Hoffa; anyone who knows a little about unions, truckers or the formation of the Teamsters is familiar with his name. In 1992 Danny DeVito attempted to weave a story of the often misunderstood man. Jack Nicholson plays the Detroit street fighter who rose from the ranks of trucker and labor organizer to build the Teamsters into the nation's... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/8/2012 8:34 AM EDT Using the blockbuster success of "Mamma Mia!" as inspiration, the Broadway musical "Rock of Ages" gallops to the big screen in all of its neon-drenched glory. Merging the power of hair metal from the late-1980s with campy performances intended to reach all the way to the back row, the feature is nothing short of a party, with gl... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 10/7/2012 8:17 PM EDT This week Universal Studios will release Stephen Spielberg's classic "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" on Blu-ray for the first time. The classic 1982 film "E.T." has finally gotten the digital overhaul with a bunch of added extras that would make any Stephen Spielberg fan's head spin. Now many complained back in 2002, when Spi...

(John Delia) 10/6/2012 6:14 PM EDT With Halloween quickly approaching horror flicks take center stage at the movie theater. But, most fright films this time of the year are not for kids. Disney's Frankenweenie however pulls out all the stops and bolts into movie houses around the nation providing some family fun and its rated PG for most everyone. Direct from ... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/5/2012 10:10 AM EDT If you are looking for a fun film with a lot of liveliness, then look to Pitch Perfect for your entertainment this weekend. It's not just a comedy, but a creative musical that aims at a younger crowd yet reaches all adult levels with snappy wit, involving storyline and high energy performances. The story centers on Beca (Anna Kendrick) a... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 10/5/2012 9:09 AM EDT Liam Neeson first appeared as former CIA operative Bryan Mills in 2008's Taken, in which Mills's daughter was kidnapped by an Albanian sex-trafficking gang while holidaying in Paris. Naturally enough, the overprotective father went to Europe, kicked butt, and rescued his only child. Now 2012 brings the imaginatively titledTaken 2 to our s... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/5/2012 9:08 AM EDT Whether you are a horror fan or just like a mystery with a lot of gruesome characters American Horror Story: The Complete First Season has been released on Blu-ray and DVD and it's a creepy feast. Unlike most other TV series, the show completes the story at the end of the season so it's all in 12 episodes in a 3-disc set. Nomina... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/3/2012 4:48 PM EDT Films about teens are scarce in 2012 so other than Hunger Games that came out in March the pickings have been thin for that genre. With the teen movie Perks of Being a Wallflower opening in a very slow month mostly devoted to horror flicks, hopefully it won't be overlooked as its pretty darn good. Able to touch a finger to the pulse of what m... Read More |
