Lone Survivor

(John Delia) 1/9/2014 4:18 PM EDT
A startling true story reaches theaters this weekend and it's very realistic. Lone Survivor takes the viewer on an ‘edge of your seat' trip into Afghanistan with a Navy Seals squad. It's not a documentary, but a gut wrenching drama that shows the brutal fighting that goes on in a country in turmoil. Extremely well acted, directed ... Read More

The Wolf of Wall Street

American Hustle

(John Delia) 12/19/2013 2:36 PM EDT
Wacky and wild the comedy/drama American Hustle puts on a great show from the glitz and glamour of the nightlife to the plunging necklines of the women who make it a madcap piece of work. The film takes you on a journey, no an adventure, in the realm of the con artist and provides some nice twists in this sordid plot to turn chump change into a lit... Read More

The Delivery Man

(John Delia) 11/21/2013 4:13 PM EDT
What starts out a typical Vince Vaughn comedy becomes a heartfelt dramedy in the film Delivery Man. The movie takes audiences into the world of a sperm donor and how one person can complicate the lives of the 533 children of the recipients. The story is a fantasy, but it's also a cool "what if" question that makes the mo... Read More
