A Million Ways to Die in the West

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/29/2014 11:18 PM EDT
Dubbed this generation's "Blazing Saddles", A million ways to die in the West won't disappoint Seth McFarlane's (Ted, Family Guy) die hard fans with it's abundant cursing, overt sexual references and graphic potty humor. Co-written, directed by and starring Macfarlane, A million ways follows Albert (Macfarlane), a not so successful ... Read More

X-Men: Days of Future Past

(Nathan M Rose) 5/22/2014 11:42 AM EDT
X-Men: Days of Future Past can best be summed up with a quote from one of my favorite movies, Total Recall (1990). "I've got to hand it to you… that's the best mindf**k yet." However, just simply stating this quote is taking the easy way out when trying to write a review of one of the most head-spinning comic book movies to dat... Read More

It has been 60 years since Ishirô Honda' Godzilla graced the silver screen, and to commemorate the occasion Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have brought the "King of Monsters" back to theaters.Most American's younger than 30 mainly associate the name Godzilla with the 1998 remake by Emmerich and Devlin (Independence Day), w...

The Other Woman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/24/2014 10:30 AM EDT
If "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned", what about three women? So is the premise of "The Other woman", the female empowerment comedy directed by Nick Cassavetes and starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. "The Other Woman" follows the travails of a wife who finds out her husband is che... Read More

Draft Day

(John Delia) 4/11/2014 3:18 PM EDT
With the NFL Draft a month away, the movie Draft Day will be hoping for a lengthy run at the box-office. The film takes you to the innards of high pressure picking and trading not seen during a real NFL draft. We saw one side of the coin, player management, in the movie Jerry Maguire when it was released in 1996, but here we get a Hollywood l... Read More

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

(John Delia) 4/3/2014 3:03 PM EDT
Next to the Iron Man series, Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes in a close second. The very compelling storyline, creative action, excellent direction and above all good acting combine to put this super hero in the forefront. Not so sci-fi fantasy, the Captain works to protect and serve. He's an Ethan Hunt with more cour... Read More

The Grand Budapest Hotel

(John Delia) 3/31/2014 11:48 AM EDT
Quirky and comical Wes Anderson's newest release The Grand Budapest Hotel follows the same pattern as several of his past work, but this one outdoes them all. The sets, special computer graphics, costumes and other production values take you to a whimsical world of mystery and murder as only Anderson can depict. If you are a fan of Wes ... Read More

Divergent

(John Delia) 3/20/2014 12:22 PM EDT
Looking to take over where other young adult films have made big splashes, Divergent takes center stage at the box-office this weekend. Taking aim at this very lucrative market the film features actors that are engaging, a story that's hip enough to garner their interest and a top notch production that envisions the tale very close to the pop...

Need For Speed

(John Delia) 3/14/2014 1:49 PM EDT
Hot cars, hot women and hotheads cut loose in Need for Speed an action packed film that will make your head spin. It's a little of Smokey and the Bandit, a measure of Fast and Furious and a lot of Cannonball Run, and that's a good thing. Much like those films, Need for Speed hooks its audience from the very beginning with exciting str... Read More

300: Rise Of An Empire

(John Delia) 3/5/2014 9:13 AM EDT
Not all sequels of movies work unless they were a blockbuster, had an unfinished story to tell and had characters that were likeable enough to warrant more screen time. In the case of 300: Rise of an Empire it had an uphill battle to capture all three of the justifications and it comes out on top. With a graphic novelist like Frank Miller (Ro... Read More
