Bullet to the Head

(John Delia) 1/30/2013 2:04 PM EDT
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 EDT
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 EDT
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 EDT
"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 EDT
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

(John Delia) 1/18/2013 9:29 PM EDT
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 EDT
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

Broken City

(John Delia) 1/18/2013 7:19 AM EDT
Tough cop, cagy police chief, bad mayor the film Broken City comes to theaters this weekend telling a wicked tale of graft and corruption in New York City. The well acted and interesting story gives a good show, but gets quite predictable and familiar. If you like raw crime thrillers with a political backdrop, Broken City has both. The m... Read More

The Last Stand

(John Delia) 1/17/2013 3:34 PM EDT
ARNOLD IS BACK! A little loss for wear, yet he's still a winner in my book with his new film The Last Stand. Action lovers and fans of Schwarzenegger are in for a real treat with this rock em' sock em' explosive film that brings back memories of the Arnold of yesteryear ‘s Terminator series. The well written script, kick-butt dire... Read More

Mrs Miniver

(John Delia) 1/17/2013 9:00 AM EDT
Winner of six Oscars including the coveted Best Picture Mrs. Miniver topped the box-office in 1942 with a war story that inspires. If you love the classics that have survived over the years, than this film, now on Blu-ray, should be in your home library. The film's a great change from today's storytelling with acting that has hardly been equa... Read More
