(John Delia) 9/15/2011 10:19 AM EST Just to make sure that the trailer for Drive doesn't give you the wrong idea, NO, this is not a Jason Statham movie in the vein of the adrenaline pumping Transporter series. Ryan Gosling holds his own in this rough surrealistic drama that inserts all the thrills shown in the preview and more. If you like looking into the mind of a tough... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 8/27/2011 11:15 PM EST If you are looking for a comedy that has a lot of laughs and surprising situations, Our Idiot Brother fails to deliver. Opening late in the summer wasn't a good idea since the film comes on the heels of a fairly good year for human humor. A lot of ‘seen that' and ‘not too original' puts this film on a fast track ...

(John Delia) 8/18/2011 11:55 AM EST The scary, seething, suspenseful, gory, horror filled Fright Night left me turning my head on my way to the car following the showing. It's a frightening flick that takes its toll on those that can have a love for the thrills that evil can provide. You don't have to be Goth to enjoy, just a sense of humor and a need to feed your bloody ... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/18/2011 10:17 AM EST Hollywood has a way of reinventing things by rejuvenating characters and bringing them up to date with all the bells and whistles necessary to make it ‘fresh and new.' This is the case of the film Conan the Barbarian where they have remade a classic adding all the CGI bells and whistles then throwing in some topless women for eye candy.... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/11/2011 6:57 PM EST Shattering, piercing, gut wrenching, queasy, bloody, gouging, bone breaking, mind blowing, and yet mesmerizing that's what Final Destination 5 is all about, especially in 3D. This is one of those select few films that use 3 Dimension well and it will blow your mind. If you have never seen a Final Destination movie or are a big fan o... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/9/2011 9:25 PM EST It's hard to believe that it was only a short period of time ago that people were still separating black from white. In The Help we find what a little thing like writing a book could do to stir up segregation and bring it to the forefront. In this story there's a huge helping of right versus wrong with an unexpected outcome that reminds... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/4/2011 7:22 AM EST Not much to say positive about The Change UP a lame film that tries every old trick in the book to grab your attention and make you think it's comedy. The film suffers from ‘I've seen that before' and a sick humor syndrome. If you think that watching a baby try to stick its hand in a blender is funny, then this is your kind of wei... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 8/4/2011 7:19 AM EST Do you have your Action/Adventure fill for summer, or are you ready for more? Try Rise of the Planet of the Apes for a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. I like the way Director Rupert Wyatt makes sure each exciting scene develops with emotion, first creating interest, then suspense finalizing in aggressive thrills. &... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/28/2011 10:35 AM EST Strap your six-gun to your waist, tie the string around your leg and ride over to see the movie Cowboys & Aliens a rip snorting account of a universe invasion. Seriously now, there will be no guns allowed in the movie theatre, not even toy type. If you want some action with great special effects that make a film come alive with awes... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/22/2011 3:26 AM EST What saves this remix from taking a nosedive into oblivion is the cast. Friends With Benefits' Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are the winners here who outdo Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher in their attempt to jazz up friendship with sex in No Strings Attached. So if you haven't seen the latter, then don't miss Friends With Benefits... Read More |
