(John Delia) 7/5/2012 8:12 PM EDT If you are looking for gut wrenching excitement in a movie with a brilliant cast and a creative storyline then choose Savages, this year's most powerful action filled drama to date. Intense and intriguing, the film has scenes so extreme that I felt myself gripping the theatre arm rests. If you think the drug wars were crazy in No Country for ... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 7/2/2012 12:02 PM EDT The production of The Amazing Spider-Man makes it a standout in visual acuity but misses its mark in originality and thrills. That aside, it's still a must see for hero worshipers, action seekers and Marvel comic book fans. To give the best review possible, I took out my DVD of Spider-Man, which was released in 2002, starring T... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 7/1/2012 10:40 AM EDT "People Like Us" is the story of two siblings' responses to their father's death. The first five minutes add up to a well crafted character study, as whip-smart salesman Sam (Chris Pine) is stunned by the news that his father has died suddenly. Still resentful of his emotionally distant old man, Sam reluctantly heads home to ... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 6/28/2012 3:51 PM EDT Most all of us have had a Teddy Bear when we were young, even if it was in the form of Yoda or Raggedy Ann, but nothing like the one in the movie Ted. This fun filled film gives a great show under the direction of Seth MacFarlane who knows comedy and shows off his skills in a big way with Ted. The fantasy story centers on John Bennett (M...

(John Delia) 6/28/2012 2:15 PM EDT Bare bods and fast music can't save Magic Mike. Even if the ladies think they are being entertained, it's all a façade to cash in on a voyeuristic business that has clung to the sexual 90's. It may be a take on Tatum's early teen romp to fill his pockets, but the actor did better with his "Step-up" acting than he does h... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 6/28/2012 11:27 AM EDT This is the weekend they didn't play golf. That's the tag line for a film that has seared itself into the minds of a generation of fans. Deliverance has lasted for over three decades as lesson one of a Northerner's introduction to the South. Showing the backwoods and a laid back lifestyle, almost to the point of being inbred, thos...

(Chris Rebholz) 6/28/2012 11:15 AM EDT Series co-creator and co-star Jason Gann describes Wilfred as "Donnie Darko meets Russell Crowe on a bender." That gets you at least halfway there. The show, which is based on Gann's Australian TV comedy of the same name, revolves around the old imaginary friend/talking animal conceit of Mr. Ed and the Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey wit...

(Chris Rebholz) 6/27/2012 10:00 AM EDT Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans arrived to negative reviews, divided audiences, and set off a much discussed 3D. Warner cleaned house for the sequel. New director, new screenwriters, new beasties, and a leaner, meaner tale. But is this version/sequel any better? In some ways, yes -- the performances are certainly better, the dialogue shar...

(Chris Rebholz) 6/23/2012 6:52 PM EDT Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter": Those four words, strung together in that order, sound like a lot of fun, don't they? It's a totally ridiculous premise, this notion that the 16th U.S. president lived a whole other secret life, prowling about at night, seeking out bloodsuckers. But it's a creative one, and it should have prov... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 6/22/2012 1:42 PM EDT The latest feature from cinema Juggernaut Pixar is Brave and while visually it is everything we've come to expect from that think-tank of geniuses it might disappoint many loyal fans. This marks the 13th animated feature from the world's most consistently successful film company and the first (for them) set in that version ... Read More |
