(John Delia) 01/16/2014 10:13 AM EDT Getting very goofy and wacky comes natural to Kevin Hart and with Ice Cube as his partner in Ride Along he does it well. The story may be a little hackneyed and predictable, but it's their comedic performances that make the movie fun. Whether you are a Kevin Hart fan or just like a lot of craziness in your film diet, than drive over to ... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 01/10/2014 9:08 AM EDT One of the better features at the movies "Her" has been released wide after a short limited release that qualifies it for the Oscar race.

It's not a documentary, but a gut wrenching drama that shows the brutal fighting that goes on in a country in turmoil. Extremely well acted, directed ... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/24/2013 9:40 AM EDT One of the toughest things to do in film making is to take a true story or biography and make it into a comedy.

Brough... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/19/2013 2:36 PM EDT Wacky and wild the comedy/drama American Hustle puts on a great show from the glitz and glamour of the nightlife to the plunging necklines of the women who make it a madcap piece of work. The film takes you on a journey, no an adventure, in the realm of the con artist and provides some nice twists in this sordid plot to turn chump change into a lit... Read More |

(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 |
(Paul Kates) 11/19/2013 9:28 AM EDT Great news for fans of The Hunger Games: the girl is on fire again and burning just as brightly as before.
