(John Delia) 9/27/2013 11:17 AM EDT Auto Racing takes center stage with a duel of wits, willpower and pride in the film Rush. The film takes its audience up close while two men vie for the top prize and fame in a sport that captivates with its test of endurance and agility. The direction by Ron Howard of this documentary feel true story makes the theme work in spite of it... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 9/26/2013 4:20 PM EDT One of the most amazing films on music Metallica Through the Never comes to the IMAX screen and it's a musical experience to remember. Not just for metalheads, this show bangs out messages while Metallica plays the groups most memorable titles. I'm not a heavy metal follower, but in IMAX and 3D the experience blows your mind whi...

(John Delia) 9/19/2013 2:17 PM EDT Shocking, relentless and suspenseful Prisoners opens in theaters this weekend with a story of abduction that's gut wrenching to the core. Much like the urgency and feel of Ransom, this film takes you deep into the helplessness of a child kidnapping. Probably a contender for an Oscar nomination for best picture, the action thriller has a good ... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/12/2013 3:10 PM EDT A fine cast, a notable director and some very nice camerawork create Luc Besson's newest film The Family. Delivering a lot of family angst mixed with a good measure of chaos the movie works its way into the kind of comedy that often takes a chunk out of the box-office. Starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones The F... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 9/6/2013 8:24 AM EDT "Somewhere along the way I lost a step… gotta find that animal side again."Those words, croaked early in the film by Vin Diesel's titular antihero and bathed in metatextuality, sum up far more than the character's intentions. Riddick manages to salvage a franchise that faltered by adopting the strategy that A Good Day to Di... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/30/2013 11:10 AM EDT One of the most truly artistic films this year turns out to be foreign and in black and white, but the charming, beautiful, sweet and convincing story out shines anything else. It's called The Artist and the Model with brilliant performances that draw you into a window of the past where World War II takes a pause and sparks a different kind o... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/29/2013 10:33 AM EDT Burning rubber for nearly 90 minutes the movie Getaway slams into theaters this weekend. It's not Fast and Furious or even a remake of The Getaway, but a script that emulates films like Bullet, Drive and a myriad of car chase films. It's non-stop action from the word go, pushing the tachometer into the red allowing only a few times for the au... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/27/2013 1:05 PM EDT This cat and mouse thriller takes a startling twist as it weaves a tale of terrorism and trust in the film Closed Circuit. The story rules the feature with compelling writing under the fine direction of John Crowley. It plays out like a John Grisham novel with edge of your seat suspense and tense courtroom drama. The fine acting keeps t... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 8/23/2013 9:42 AM EDT After the successes of last decade's Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, director Edgar Wright treats us to one last flavour in his hilarious "Cornetto" trilogy,The World's End, which also sees Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reuniting with Wright for the third time.The World's End opens with Gary King (Pegg), a fortysomething s...

(Roger Longenbach) 8/16/2013 3:46 PM EDT Whenever you have a sequel to an extremely well done movie that could be a one and done story, you run the risk of ruining the first movie with a poorly executed follow-up. That was a concern of mine, especially since Matthew Vaughn (the director of the original Kick-Ass, and X-Men First Class) was turning over the reins to Jeffrey Wadl... Read More |
