(John Delia) 04/11/2014 3:18 PM EDT With the NFL Draft a month away, the movie Draft Day will be hoping for a lengthy run at the box-office. The film takes you to the innards of high pressure picking and trading not seen during a real NFL draft.

(John Delia) 04/03/2014 3:03 PM EDT Next to the Iron Man series, Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes in a close second. The very compelling storyline, creative action, excellent direction and above all good acting combine to put this super hero in the forefront.
