Lilo & Stitch / Lilo & Stitch: Stitch Has A Glitch Two-Movie C...

(Chris Rebholz) 6/24/2013 3:37 PM EDT
"Lilo & Stitch" was Disney's major animated release for 2002, and it was interesting enough to make a splash at Cannes. There was something intriguing about a little Hawaiian girl and a mutated alien she adopts, thinking he's a dog. Same old same old? Not remotely. Especially when you have that girl stuck on Elvis, with her pl... Read More

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

(Chris Rebholz) 6/24/2013 8:43 AM EDT
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" is a great title for a promising premise involving dueling Las Vegas magicians fighting for stage glory. Unfortunately, the feature moves beyond the basics to beef up a sense of character and fuel formulaic story arc ambitions, dropping its sense of cartwheeling absurdity to tend to a tale of spray-tanned rebir...

Burn Notice: Season Six

(Chris Rebholz) 6/21/2013 4:33 PM EDT
Every season offers producers and writers chances to go new places with their characters. For season 6 of Burn Notice, that lead to some darker material than we've seen on the show before. Whether or not that decision was the right course is, as always, up to the audience to decide. Season six picks up with the aftermath of season five.&... Read More

Monsters University

(John Delia) 6/21/2013 8:35 AM EDT
Bringing back two of my favorite cartoon characters Sully and Mike with a prequel called Monsters University, Pixar presents renewed delight. The madness that the two opposites brought to Monsters Inc more than ten years ago doubles in Monsters University, while providing a lot of heart and a college year full of laughs. A follow up to a... Read More

World War Z

(John Delia) 6/21/2013 8:26 AM EDT
The opening sequence in the zombie thriller World War Z gets so intense that I white knuckled as I grabbed the arms of my seat, the film's that shocking. These 15 minutes alone are worth the price of admission. It's like watching a Roland Emmerich film on steroids (Day After Tomorrow, 2012) only more daunting. If you like films th... Read More

Jack the Giant Slayer

(John Delia) 6/17/2013 9:17 AM EDT
Taking special effects and sound to a new level Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement. The audience for the film targets teen males to thirties and women who like action films. The movie will be released on Blu-ray in a special combo pack that includes the DVD, UltraViolet and a code for a 14 Day XBOX Life Gold ... Read More

Oz: The Great and Powerful Blu-ray Review

Oz the Great and Powerful 3D

(John Delia) 6/12/2013 11:07 AM EDT
The bold, dazzling and dramatic Oz the Great and Powerful comes to 3D Blu-ray with excellent quality. Nearly critic proof, the film brought one of the largest box office returns for 2013. However, although the film is a masterpiece of cinematography and CGI, the acting and direction do have problems. The film has also been released in a Blu-r... Read More

A Good Day to Die Hard

(Roger Longenbach) 6/12/2013 10:28 AM EDT
For the fifth time since 1988, Bruce Willis has strapped on the badge of John McClain, a cop who happens to have really bad luck being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This time, he travels to Russia in order to find his son, Jack (played by Jai Courtney). Apparently, Jack has been estranged from the rest of the family and finally ... Read More

Man of Steel

(John Delia) 6/11/2013 4:46 PM EDT
Taking a walk on the dark side for a comic book favorite, Man of Steel blazes into theaters under the direction of Zack Snyder this weekend and he's aiming at taking over Iron Man as the best box-office superhero. The cast, crew and story are impeccable providing a brooding look into the life of Superman and the battle for planet Earth. Yet t... Read More

This is The End

(John Delia) 6/11/2013 10:23 AM EDT
In a smart move by Seth Rogen for his fans things start getting Looney bins in his new film This Is The End, an apocalyptic film that features most all his old pals and then some. The movie isn't more than a goof on the end of the world, but it scorches when it comes to the comedy the stars bring to the screen. If you've ever wa... Read More
