Breathtaking, mesmerizing and thrilling the movie Gravity explodes on the screen generating a feast of cinematic brilliance.

Auto Racing takes center stage with a duel of wits, willpower and pride in the film Rush.

Metallica: Through the Never

(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...

Prisoners

(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

The Family

(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

Riddick

(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

The Artist and the Model

(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

Getaway

(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
