Mr. Popper's Penguins

(John Delia) 12/20/2011 9:22 AM EST
For the holidays, Fox has released Mr. Poppers Penguins in Blu-ray combo packs, Blu-ray and DVD's. It's true family fare and a fun gift for the youngsters. The combo pack has the film in both Blu-ray and DVD and includes a digital download disc as well. The film stars Jim Carrey as Tom Popper a guy who's had a tough life grow... Read More

Young Adult

(John Delia) 12/15/2011 5:01 PM EST
Take two aspirins and go to bed, a great remedy for Young Adult, an over stated understatement that never gets entertaining. Billed as a comedy, the more the cast tries to make it one, the lesser it becomes. If you like a film with angst riddled plot, underdeveloped characters and only one very good performance than you are the only dem... Read More

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

(John Delia) 12/15/2011 1:00 PM EST
Another fine adventure for the London detective becomes afoot in the newest 19th century Sir Arthur Conan Doyle crime story Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The cast from the 2009 release reprises their roles under the able direction of Guy Richie making this outing even more exciting than the last. Don't skimp here; choose the theater wit... Read More

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

(Marco Chacon) 12/15/2011 9:51 AM EST
Some day Tom Cruise will be too old to reprise Ethan Hunt, the Team Leader for the Impossible Mission Force. I wondered if the 49-year-old Cruise was there already; but there was no need to wonder! The guy has the body of a completely ripped 25-year-old. I am not sure how that is possible; but unless it is CGI, what we see on scr... Read More

The Help

(John Delia) 12/12/2011 7:33 PM EST
Now on Blu-ray/DVD The Help hits the street on Tuesday December 6th and it has all the ear-markings of becoming the hottest item of the holiday season. My prediction for this film at the Oscars include nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, 2 Best Supporting Actress, Costumes and Musical Score. It should do equally as well at the G...

The Rocketeer

(Roger Longenbach) 12/12/2011 11:54 AM EST
Coming out on Disney Blu-ray in honor of the 20th anniversary of the film is The Rocketeer. Based on the graphic novel with the same name, The Rocketeer is set in Los Angeles, circa 1938. The movie is directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger), and is his second film as a director. The movie follows test/st... Read More

Fright Night 3D

(John Delia) 12/12/2011 8:38 AM EST
The scary, suspenseful, gory, shock filled Fright Night is now on 3D Blu-ray /Blu-ray, DVD Digital Download and On-Demand. It's a frightening flick that takes its toll on those that have a love for the thrills that evil can provide. You don't have to be Goth to enjoy this dark film, just a sense of humor and a need to feed your bloody t... Read More

The Sitter

(Chris Rebholz) 12/11/2011 5:20 PM EST
Noah, the nobody's fool played by Jonah Hill in the haphazardly slapped together comedy The Sitter is a character in search of a movie, a setup in search of a punch line. Less directed, more handled by David Gordon Green, this on-and-off funny rehash of Adventures in Babysitting centers on a college dropout who, at his mother's urging, reluctantly ... Read More

(Chris Rebholz) 12/07/2011 9:46 AM EST
The film 13 is a type of Russian roulette for American audiences. There's a decent amount of star power and established actors collected for this, at times, drama, and those new to the premise might find themselves drawn into this foul underworld saga.An electrician watching his family slide into crippling debt, Vince (Sam Riley) finds his curiosit...

The Art of Getting By

(Chris Rebholz) 12/06/2011 8:22 PM EST
When people dismiss New York City and its denizens as pretentious, self-absorbed, hipster snobs who only pull their noses out of their own rear ends long enough to look down on Gotham outsiders, it's because of derivative movies like The Art of Getting By.Freddie Highmore, so charming alongside Johnny Depp in Marc Forster's delightful in Fi...
