(John Delia) 3/5/2014 9:13 AM EDT Not all sequels of movies work unless they were a blockbuster, had an unfinished story to tell and had characters that were likeable enough to warrant more screen time. In the case of 300: Rise of an Empire it had an uphill battle to capture all three of the justifications and it comes out on top. With a graphic novelist like Frank Miller (Ro... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 2/28/2014 9:02 AM EDT Filled with suspense and edge of your seat thrills, Non-Stop does a good job of keeping the audience off balance to the very end. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who helmed the horror thriller Orphan combined with notables in lead roles, the film has excellent potential for a good weekend run. If you like your movies taut with twis... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/20/2014 3:28 PM EDT Emotionally and action charged 3 Days to Kill features a fine cast, direction by McG and top notch cinematography. The CIA thriller follows a script by Luc Beeson who also oversaw the movie as producer. Taught drama mixed with situation comedy makes for a cool secret agent film that should appeal to age 13 plus moviegoers. Th... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/13/2014 9:25 AM EDT Miracles and Mayhem cloud Winter's Tale, a romantic saga that's extremely predictable and falls short on acting. The film tries to be a mystery of sorts and almost achieves its goal, until the devil comes into the picture and from there on the movie slowly falls apart. Laughable at times, the story loses its passion and any possible emp... Read More |
 
(Paul Kates) 2/11/2014 8:56 AM EDT In the year 2028, OmniCorp rules the world in robot technologies. Their robots are deployed all around the globe keeping law and order on the streets, except in one country, America. The U.S. has the Dreyfuss Act -- a law forbidding the use of drones on its street. OmniCorp's CEO, Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton), sees a way of getting around the l... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/6/2014 11:22 AM EDT If you are looking for a big action film from this weekend's Monuments Men, it's not. More of a historical recreation of the true events, the movie tries very hard to open the window to an important part of WWII history, but barely achieves it. Loading the movie with familiar faces of top actors, director George Clooney makes his film m... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/31/2014 8:38 AM EDT Here's a chick flick with a lot of face time with upcoming stars. It's called That Awkward Moment and features Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan. The film's a romancer that has a lot of appeal, except the storyline is quite hackneyed and very predictable. The saving grace here is the snappy comedy that keeps the script... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/30/2014 12:38 PM EDT Finally making its way into many theaters after a soft opening in December, Labor Day adds some drama to the weekend. The film features some good acting, able direction and a story that intrigues, but gets hung up in reality issues. If you accept the story as played out you will enjoy it, otherwise the box of tissues you bring will be for nau... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/16/2014 3:37 PM EDT Filled with intrigue and mystery one of novelist Tom Clancy's more ambitious books "The Teeth of the Tiger" comes to the screen as Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. The film turns the clock back on the main character to his college days where he gets pressed into service by the CIA. It's a fairly complicated film at first, but tends ... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/16/2014 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 |
