(John Delia) 1/12/2012 8:25 AM EDT With a genuinely gifted performance, Meryl Streep depicts Margaret Thatcher one of the world's greatest leaders in The Iron Lady. Thatcher served as the longest serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and during some of the most trying times. If you like biographies, real life stores and historical happenings, The Iron Lady is a mu... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 1/6/2012 8:42 AM EDT The British movie Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is not for everyone. It's a mind-numbing film for audiences that crave an involving storyline, can deal with British accents and are into the underpinning of espionage that fueled The Cold War in the 1970's. I am not a big fan of films like this one, but those who are into author John le Ca... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/30/2011 10:13 PM EDT All you Archer lovers take heed, now on Blu-ray Archer: The Complete Season Two with every minute of the hilarious spy spoof unencumbered by those pesky commercials. If you think season one was crude, you can bet the second season has more wild and wacky episodes that could embarrass a drunken sailor. Archer is an adult animated, h... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/24/2011 6:14 PM EDT Steven Spielberg adds another holiday film to the mix, but this one tends to skew higher on the age scale due the violence and cruelty. The film called War Horse has a bountiful cast of good actors, a bold story and brilliant cinematography that sometimes seems ‘too' real. Although targeted to young boys, the film gets a little to...

(John Delia) 12/22/2011 10:32 PM EDT The heartfelt drama We Bought A Zoo comes to town and it's for the whole family. A true story perfect for the holiday season with an uplifting account that shows what one family can do to help a community while healing themselves. I am a fan of this kind of film as it reminds us of the principles on which America is built, with dreams, ... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/21/2011 9:13 AM EDT Making the most of the animation called performance capture Steven Spielberg creates a wonderful kid adventure with The Adventures of Tintin. The veritable rollercoaster ride of a film is even more spectacular in 3D. Targeted at lads of any age and for good family fun, rush to see the full feature film The Adventures of Tintin. The...

(John Delia) 12/20/2011 7:42 PM EDT The mystery and suspense in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo gets menacing giving audiences an unsuspected thriller. I liked this version over the foreign release of the movie in 2010 because it's in English, has Daniel Craig and the story moves along as it should, unencumbered by faulty direction. For those who like a good detective dra... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/20/2011 9:22 AM EDT 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 |
 
(John Delia) 12/15/2011 5:01 PM EDT 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 |
 
(John Delia) 12/15/2011 1:00 PM EDT 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 |
