(Chris Rebholz) 10/12/2012 10:40 AM EDT Based on a series of books by Margery Sharp, Disney's 1977 animated feature The Rescuers continued that success with a film that perhaps seized on a topic that was just right for them – a quaint and charming adventure involving mice. The story follows the Rescue Aid Society, an international organization of mice based in New York that mirrors... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/12/2012 8:44 AM EDT When you have a violent comedy your cast must have the ability to carry out the dialogue with dead pan and tongue-in-cheek precision, with Seven Psychopaths there's no doubt. Much like the humor in Inglourious Basterds, In Bruges and most of the Grindhouse films, the script and actors fit the bill. If you can deal with the bloody scenes... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/11/2012 3:57 PM EDT Based on a true story the suspense filled film Argo involving the rescue of six Americans opens in theaters this weekend. Set in the background of unrest in Iran during the President Jimmy Carter era, the covert operation was kept secret until the late 1990's. The drama based on a book of the same title features a solid script, some fin... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 10/11/2012 9:10 AM EDT [sin-uh-ster] 1. threatening or portending evil, harm, or trouble; ominous: a sinister film. Sinister, the latest effort by Scott Derrickson, Director of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", is a film about true crime novelist Ellison Oswalt, who is way past his 15 minutes of fame, and is trying so desperately to get it back. So ... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 10/10/2012 11:44 AM EDT Taking a ride with Popeye Doyle in The French Connection just became easier now that it's on Blu-ray. Just released as part of a Filmmakers Signature Series the high energy classic film, a winner of an Academy Award for Best Picture, is a must have treasure for any adrenaline seeking film buff. I've seen the movie several times when it ... Read More |
 
(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...
