(John Delia) 5/22/2013 2:39 PM EDT Actually, although I did laugh at many of the comical mishaps to which characters were subjected, The Hangover Part III wasn't up to par with the original of the three episodes. The good things were the return of the whole main cast that made The Hangover Part I a huge success, the downside was it turned out to be more repetitious than I thou... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 5/16/2013 4:33 PM EDT Picking up where he left off with the fine release of his first attempt at bringing back the Star Trek franchise, J.J. Abrams hits pay dirt again with Star Trek Into Darkness. The exciting new chapter tantalizes the mind with amazing CGI and special effects while presenting an adventure that's reminiscent of earlier challenges for the Enterpr... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 5/9/2013 8:28 AM EDT Director Baz Luhrmann who lost with Moulin Rouge and lost again with Australia, takes a chance with an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatsby turning it into a pop-up book for the screen. While the CGI and sets do sparkle, he turns the storyline into a simple predictive tome set in an era of flappers and illegal booze. Luhrmann gets... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 5/1/2013 11:17 AM EDT Mega-wealthy playboy philanthropist Tony Stark makes a welcome return to the big screen, for the third and possibly final Iron Man movie to star Robert Downey Jr. This movie kicks off the second phase of films set within the Marvel universe and is set shortly after the exploits of the Avengers in New York, which saw Iron Man et al beat off the alie...

(John Delia) 4/25/2013 3:29 PM EDT Continuing to make exciting films Michael Bay releases Pain & Gain a movie that's reminiscent of his storytelling with the wild and enthusiastic Bad Boys, but far from his explosive films like Transformers and Armageddon. Here he takes you on a rollercoaster ride with a true crime story, a dark comedy that gets so absurd I found myself question... Read More |
(John Delia) 4/25/2013 10:46 AM EDT It's time for Matthew McConaughey to step up and do what he does best and in Mud he nails the role. The cool little Indie has all the trappings of a good film including, a taught plot, good direction and a couple of kids that can act to boot. If you like movies that ease into the plot and hook you before you know it, rush out to see Mud. ... Read More |
(John Delia) 4/19/2013 12:03 PM EDT The opening sequence in the movie Oblivion is spectacular showing Earth as a devastated planet and the moon busting apart following an attack by an alien invasion. Well acted by a handful of cast members, the action movie mesmerizes as it spools out its grand design. Both the cinematography and computer graphics are the stars of the film with... Read More |
(John Delia) 4/12/2013 8:15 AM EDT The movie 42 hits a home run in acting, directing and cinematography. The storyline takes you on a journey of courageousness in the face of racial discrimination and a door opener for others that followed. It's not just about baseball, but also of heroes and the right to play the game. The film centers on Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman), a hig... Read More |
(Paul Kates) 4/10/2013 2:14 PM EDT I must admit to not having looked forward to a single Danny Boyle film in recent years. I enjoyed his films that were more rough-cut, like Trainspotting,Shallow Grave and 28 Days LaterRead More |
(John Delia) 4/8/2013 9:14 AM EDT A road movie with a lot of sexual energy opens this weekend in South Florida. The film is called On the Road and its brilliant cast makes it a winner. Taken from a novel by Jack Kerouac, the film gives a view of 40's America and the challenges faced by a group of free-spirited friends. It's 1947 New York City where we find Sa... Read More |
