(John Delia) 7/20/2013 1:23 AM EDT The raging action comedy Red 2 comes to theaters, but its Catherine Zeta-Jones and Helen Mirren that command the screen. While the whole crew is back for a second dip into the world of International Crime while on the run from their former CIA bosses, it's these two ladies that make an impact. For a fun romp around Europe from London to Mosco... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/11/2013 11:35 AM EDT It's a hilarious bunch of nonsense called Grown Ups 2 that follows its previous hilarious bunch of nonsense. If you like Adam Sandler's wacky comedy style that mostly works with sight gags, tongue in cheek quips and a lot of monkey business then you are a target for this film. Others may not want to waste their time. Adam brings... Read More |
(John Delia) 7/11/2013 8:37 AM EDT Pump yourself up for this one because Pacific Rim takes action to new heights with a noisy display of explosive combat. The battle scenes rise to shock and awe much like you've seen in films like Battleship and Transformers, but that's the point of going to see this genre of film now isn't it. If you drag your lady along however, you ma... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 7/3/2013 8:50 AM EDT They're back again those funny characters that make the animated film Despicable Me 2 a hilarious situation comedy that delivers the laughter. I'm speaking of the pill shaped ‘work a bee's' for the villain Gru called Minions. In this sequel they dominate the screen and give most of the audience what they came for, a lot of chuckle...

(John Delia) 7/3/2013 8:43 AM EDT Taking a chance on an old-timer favorite, producer and director Gore Verbinski brings a remake of The Lone Ranger to the big screen. Loosely based on the 1956 movie starring Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels, his casting of Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp somewhat mirrors the two original players and delivers a solid hit. The film opens at ... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/28/2013 9:24 AM EDT One of the better comedies to be released this year, The Heat has a lot going for it with a fine cast, good comedic writing and some nice direction from Paul Feig who gave us Bridesmaids. Of course it doesn't hurt to have Melissa McCarthy one of the top comics in the business as your co-star. If you're looking for a lot of laughs from a plo... Read More |
 
(Sean Ferguson) 6/28/2013 8:48 AM EDT As a critic I often wonder if Hollywood has completely run out of new ideas and I'm even more bewildered when 2 movies are released, within a short period of time, with the same subject. I'm sure you have noticed this before. Just off the top of my head "Friends with Benefits" & "No Strings Attached" came to mind, or... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/21/2013 8:35 AM EDT Bringing back two of my favorite cartoon characters Sully and Mike with a prequel called Monsters University, Pixar presents renewed delight. The madness that the two opposites brought to Monsters Inc more than ten years ago doubles in Monsters University, while providing a lot of heart and a college year full of laughs. A follow up to a... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/21/2013 8:26 AM EDT The opening sequence in the zombie thriller World War Z gets so intense that I white knuckled as I grabbed the arms of my seat, the film's that shocking. These 15 minutes alone are worth the price of admission. It's like watching a Roland Emmerich film on steroids (Day After Tomorrow, 2012) only more daunting. If you like films th... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/11/2013 4:46 PM EDT Taking a walk on the dark side for a comic book favorite, Man of Steel blazes into theaters under the direction of Zack Snyder this weekend and he's aiming at taking over Iron Man as the best box-office superhero. The cast, crew and story are impeccable providing a brooding look into the life of Superman and the battle for planet Earth. Yet t... Read More |
