(John Delia) 11/21/2013 4:13 PM EDT What starts out a typical Vince Vaughn comedy becomes a heartfelt dramedy in the film Delivery Man. The movie takes audiences into the world of a sperm donor and how one person can complicate the lives of the 533 children of the recipients. The story is a fantasy, but it's also a cool "what if" question that makes the mo... Read More |
(John Delia) 11/21/2013 11:32 AM EDT Home fun for the whole family arrives on November 19th with the release of Planes in a Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD combo pack just in time for holiday giving.

(John Delia) 10/31/2013 4:29 PM EDT There's a lot of buzz going on about Last Vegas and rightly so. The high energy comedy casts a dream team of actors, a top notch director and a story by the writer of The Guilt Trip that turns up the laughter in every scene. With Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline in the lead roles, it's The Hangover for the... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/31/2013 9:47 AM EDT Teens will have a blast with Ender's Game a science fiction adventure that's well acted and directed. The much read novel by Orson Scott Card focuses on the target audience putting youngsters in the roles of saving the Earth. Using amazing special effects that transport the audience into space the book transfers to the screen exceptionally we... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/30/2013 9:42 AM EDT The 3D availability on Blu-ray just got better with the release of Disney/PIXAR's Cars and even better in a combo pack. The fun film with an extraordinary plot that offers moral values like friendship, honesty, love and integrity is perfect for the whole family. The film has been released in a combo pack that contains the 3D Blu-ray... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 10/24/2013 8:10 PM EDT No surprises here, Ridley Scott continues his inscrutable melodramas with The Counselor a weak film that's well acted by a stellar cast, but with a theme that's worn-out. While the cinematography gives his film a nice flare, the story and script by Cormac McCarthy who gave us No Country For Old Men and The Road could surly have been more or... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/17/2013 8:38 AM EDT Well the ex-Governor and ex-boxer finally get full feature screen time together in their new film Escape Plan and they haven't broken the formula yet. Playing familiar roles, delivering pedestrian lines and punching their way through this prison story that could easily have been made for cable, the two icons create a lot of their usual fu...

(John Delia) 10/11/2013 11:29 AM EDT Gripping, disturbing and suspenseful the movie Captain Phillips depicts a story from the headlines that have captivated Americans with concern. The well crafted, strongly detailed and stunningly acted true story will have you on the edge of your seat. I found myself mesmerized by the astounding facts behind the takeover of a huge contai...

(John Delia) 10/8/2013 3:04 PM EDT Putting another stunner on the home screen, Curse of Chucky gets released on Blu-ray/DVD + Digital combo pack just in time for the horror season. Packed with the kind of biting power needed to provide chills and thrills, the sixth of the Child's Play films changes it up a bit giving viewers a blast to the past. Could this 25th anniversa...

(John Delia) 10/7/2013 3:38 PM EDT Well I have good news bad news for the newly upgraded The Wizard of Oz to 3D. The very good news is that the 3D works extremely well played on the 3D home theater system. Its vibrant, amazing and definitely a winner. The not so good news involves those who purchased the Blu-ray that came out in 2009. If you purchase the Blu-... Read More |
