(John Delia) 8/24/2012 9:46 AM EDT Action junkies beware the movie Premium Rush streaks into theaters this weekend and it's a sweet adrenaline rush. The film features some excellent shots of New York City through the eyes of a rapid camera that draws focus on all the heart pumping drama. The fine acting and directing make this hour and a half body in motion film work.&nb... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/23/2012 10:08 AM EDT If you would like to know what retribution feels like then watch the television series Revenge, the first season's now on DVD. So nicely crafted you would think that author Mike Kelly must have had a close encounter with a vengeance-craving woman. Seriously though, I thought a female audience would best see the series, but after getting throu... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 8/16/2012 3:02 PM EDT An enchanting story of inspiration and hope, The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens in movie theaters. The nice little film has an uplifting story for the whole family even though it over fanaticizes at times. Translation from script to screen seems to have been a chore however and the pieces of the puzzle look like they have been jammed t... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/13/2012 11:58 AM EDT The 25th Anniversary Edition of Full Metal Jacket has been released on Blu-ray Disc and if you have never seen the movie, it's a stunner. Packaged with a companion book, the 2-disc set makes a great purchase for your library. Nominated for an Oscar, the gutsy war film features an excellent cast and magnificent direction by Stanley K...

(John Delia) 8/10/2012 12:45 AM EDT Director Tony Gilroy takes his time spooling out The Bourne Legacy just avoiding the snooze factor in this forth installment of the Bourne series. The film is steeped in a lot of superfluous character build up, long periods of uneventful scenes and an outcome that doesn't deliver. If you are looking for an action thriller from this four...

(John Delia) 7/31/2012 7:50 AM EDT If you are a lover of fright films that keep fear on a high level then see Cellular now available on Blu-ray for the first time in the United States. The creative film has excellent acting, imaginative directing and a great script. If that's not enough to get the Blu-ray here's another reason to grab it, the smart interesting bonus feat...

(John Delia) 7/26/2012 11:07 AM EDT The screwball film The Watch tries hard to entertain, but sinks below average even with its fine cast of witty pros. The film struggles, trying to make the scanty script work by upping the crude and rude level with a lot of off color sight gags, a good measure of dumbness and strong sexual innuendos. The only reason for making the trek to your loca... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/24/2012 1:59 PM EDT It took a while to recover from watching the movie Margaret, but it sure is worth the watch. Now available on DVD and Blu-ray combo pack the very poignant and psychological film digs into some of life's disturbing behaviors to tell the story of a teen hardened by societies deep-seated challenges. If you would like to be immersed in a fa... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/23/2012 11:59 AM EDT The concept and storylines of the Season Four television series Leverage are good and the talent nicely cast. Now on DVD all the advantages of being able to see the shows in their entirety unencumbered by commercial breaks makes the entertainment even better. If you like crime shows that intrigue infused with some comedy, then Leverage'... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/19/2012 10:29 AM EDT This may be the film that knocks off The Avengers from the all time box-office winner for 2012. The movie is called The Dark Knight Rises, but loyal fans will refer to the film as Batman and they know that this dark knight has all the power to rise above any comic book hero the industry can throw at him. For me, I'm just one of the crew, ... Read More |
