(John Delia) 8/28/2012 11:55 AM EDT One of the best series this year in my estimation Once Upon a Time: the Complete First Season has been released on Blu-ray in a box set. This fairytale has all the frills of a theatrical release including some nice special effects, commendable acting and a very good storyline. Intriguing, creative and exciting after the first few episodes it's addi... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 8/27/2012 10:16 AM EDT Disney has long been one of the more conservative studios when it comes to releasing catalog titles on Blu-ray, especially its classic (and even its not-so-classic) animated films. The reasons are many -- some noble, others shrewd -- but chief among them is the sheer amount of time and level of care the studio invests in the restoration and remaste... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 8/26/2012 1:51 PM EDT Apparently it's true what is said of actors. Some films they choose out of an interest in the story and challenging themselves in new ways. While others are simply just a paycheck. This is clearly true for Robert De Niro because there is no logical reason for an performer of his caliber to be in a movie such as Freelancers. You almost with you ... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 8/24/2012 10:26 AM EDT Showing most all the ills in the world Cosmopolis gives its audience a slow moving picture of our decaying civilization. Although the film is nicely acted and directed, there's too much crammed into the nearly two-hour movie to really appreciate the meaning of it all. The warning here insinuates the self-destruction of our great society... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/24/2012 9:46 AM EDT Action junkies beware the movie Premium Rush streaks into theaters this weekend and it's a sweet adrenaline rush. The film features some excellent shots of New York City through the eyes of a rapid camera that draws focus on all the heart pumping drama. The fine acting and directing make this hour and a half body in motion film work.&nb... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/23/2012 10:08 AM EDT If you would like to know what retribution feels like then watch the television series Revenge, the first season's now on DVD. So nicely crafted you would think that author Mike Kelly must have had a close encounter with a vengeance-craving woman. Seriously though, I thought a female audience would best see the series, but after getting throu... Read More |
(Stephen Compall) 8/21/2012 8:20 AM EDT The motor sounds are real. Writer/director/star Dax Shepard (Parenthood, When in Rome) provided many of the vehicles from his personal collection, and does all his own stunts. So he reported, in his appearance following the screening at which I saw Read More |
(Roger Longenbach) 8/19/2012 8:06 PM EDT Out on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy is one of 2012's most popular movies (currently #3, which is surprisingly good considering it was released in March, not during the summer season). Based on the book with the same name, The Hunger Games is part one of a trilogy, which will have two movies for the finale just like the Twilight Saga (and until th... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 8/17/2012 8:41 AM EDT The Expendables are back, and this time they are even more explosive than before. All the old cohorts from the original movie return, joined by new recruits Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth), Booker (Chuck Norris), Jean Vilain (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Maggie (Yu Nan), in director Simon West’s sequel.In 2010, the first Expendables read like a who’s ...

(John Delia) 8/16/2012 3:02 PM EDT An enchanting story of inspiration and hope, The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens in movie theaters. The nice little film has an uplifting story for the whole family even though it over fanaticizes at times. Translation from script to screen seems to have been a chore however and the pieces of the puzzle look like they have been jammed t... Read More |
