(John Delia) 2/7/2013 9:43 AM EDT Very compelling and gripping, the twisty little film Side Effects has the right cast, direction by Steven Soderbergh and a solid script by Scott Z. Burns. The movie works hard to keep the audience off kilter right up to an ending with a surprising payoff. Drama lovers, film buffs, and those hankering for a good mystery are the main audience f...

(John Delia) 1/31/2013 8:02 PM EDT A nice job with a Romeo and Juliet theme, Warm Bodies shows what a imaginative writer/director can do with a zombie love story. The slick little romancer creates fun out of terror and sends a lot of subliminal messages. Perfect for teens to twenties, it's the perfect modern day date movie with both sexes looking for fun and some creative horr... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/30/2013 9:33 PM EDT The film Stand Up Guys being released this weekend in theaters has a nice touch. It brings together three of the most revered stars in a film emulating some of their past acting gigs. It's a testimonial to their craft that puts them in front of a camera, aged and changed from their earlier Oscar winning performances and still commanding the s... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 1/30/2013 2:04 PM EDT Not one of Stallone's best efforts or Walter Hill's for that matter, Bullet to the Head's just another partner film with a lot of mayhem and familiar one-liners. Missing the chemistry of the Stallone of yesteryears, the master of the choreographed fight has become too repetitive accepting too many of the same roles lately. I... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/28/2013 8:26 AM EDT "Parker" is quite the conundrum. It's not bizarre enough in visuals to be unique, nor is it edited flashily enough to be contemporary. It's not overly violent, exploitive, gratuitous, or edgy in any manner and the story is severely lacking creativity. The combination of Statham and Lopez is curious at best, but Statham doesn't...

(Nathan M Rose) 1/25/2013 8:33 AM EDT Hollywood, of late, seems to be running to the safety of classics to help churn out a collection of new flicks to entertain the masses. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters epitomizes the trend. Based loosely on the classic children's Grimm fairytale; Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters follows the brother and sister from the Germanic tale to adulthood. D... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/18/2013 7:19 AM EDT Tough cop, cagy police chief, bad mayor the film Broken City comes to theaters this weekend telling a wicked tale of graft and corruption in New York City. The well acted and interesting story gives a good show, but gets quite predictable and familiar. If you like raw crime thrillers with a political backdrop, Broken City has both. The m... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/17/2013 3:34 PM EDT ARNOLD IS BACK! A little loss for wear, yet he's still a winner in my book with his new film The Last Stand. Action lovers and fans of Schwarzenegger are in for a real treat with this rock em' sock em' explosive film that brings back memories of the Arnold of yesteryear ‘s Terminator series. The well written script, kick-butt dire... Read More |
(John Delia) 1/10/2013 10:22 AM EDT Los Angeles relives it's gritty past in this fictional account of a real mob boss in Gangster Squad. The violent crime film has an exceptional A-list cast with creative sets, period costumes and props that resemble the era, but the lifeless storyline just doesn't do it for me. The script with its over indulgence in Tommy gun fire, explosions,... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/6/2013 8:00 PM EDT Promised Land, Gus Van Sant's gentle but knowing natural gas drama, is concerned with the tension between long-term environmental costs and short-term financial gain. Set in small-town Pennsylvania and based on a story by Dave Eggers, the screenplay by co-stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski aims for a moral complexity that pays as much attentio... Read More |
