Warm Bodies

(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

Stand Up Guys

(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

Peter Pan

(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... Read More

Bullet to the Head

(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

Femme Fatales: The Complete First Season

(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

Hannah and Her Sisters

(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

Parker

(Chris Rebholz) 1/28/2013 8:26 AM EST
"Parker" is quite the conundrum. It's not bizarre enough in visuals to be unique, nor is it edited flashily enough to be contemporary. It's not overly violent, exploitive, gratuitous, or edgy in any manner and the story is severely lacking creativity. The combination of Statham and Lopez is curious at best, but Statham doesn't...

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

(Nathan M Rose) 1/25/2013 8:33 AM EST
Hollywood, of late, seems to be running to the safety of classics to help churn out a collection of new flicks to entertain the masses. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters epitomizes the trend. Based loosely on the classic children's Grimm fairytale; Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters follows the brother and sister from the Germanic tale to adulthood. D... Read More

Archer: The Complete Third Season

(John Delia) 1/18/2013 9:29 PM EST
One of the funniest and campiest series on Cable TV, Archer (Season 3) has been released on DVD. Started in 2010 on FX, the animated sitcom has become a favorite with a huge following. The DVD comes in a 2 Disc set and has all 13 Episodes from the 2011 to 2012 airing. In addition it has three special features and commentary on select episodes... Read More

(John Delia) 1/18/2013 9:15 PM EST
The inspirational film Won't Back Down is now available on Blu-ray. Taking the fight for better education to the classroom this story based on actual events postulate what determined teachers and parents can accomplish if they work together. The movie has all the trappings of a good feeling winner with Oscar nominated actors Maggie Gyll... Read More
