(Roger Longenbach) 3/12/2013 9:56 AM EDT Is sharing things with your friends legal? Is it okay to let a friend borrow a book, a movie or a CD of yours? Normally you answer yes, it's okay to let someone borrow one of those things. But in the digital age, can you legally share those same things? That is a question, that while has been answered in the courts, is still ... Read More |
 
(Roger Longenbach) 3/12/2013 9:38 AM EDT As the opening night headliner for SXSW 2013, this movie opened to a packed house in Austin, Texas. The crowd laughed along with Burt Wonderstone, but it was the movie's antagonist who steals the show. Steve Carrell plays the adult Burt Wonderstone, who was given a magic kit for his birthday (which included an instructional videotape fr... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 3/7/2013 3:46 PM EDT Opening this weekend Emperor brings a film based on a true event that brought closure to the war in the Pacific during WWII. Questionable writing, direction and acting, the historical drama threads a romantic tale inside this biopic that tends to distract rather than add to the historical meetings between General McArthur and the Emperor of J...

(John Delia) 3/7/2013 3:42 PM EDT The bold, dazzling and dramatic Oz the Great and Powerful opens this weekend with immense possibilities of being the top gainer so far this year. Nearly critic proof, the film should bask in great returns at the box office. However, although the film is a masterpiece of cinematography and CGI, the acting and direction never really reaches an accept... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/27/2013 4:34 PM EDT Taking special effects and sound to a new level for a 3D film, Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement. The audience for the film in my estimation targets preteen to 20's male population. That said, the movie is critic proof with its giant size marketing budget and will certainly make a huge profit in the box-off ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 2/22/2013 2:48 PM EDT It's hard to say what type of film "Officer Down" wants to be, but it doesn't appear particularly successful on any front. Part cop drama, part whodunit, with a dusting of action dynamics, the picture marches forward without a game plan, creating a confusing, heavy effort that depends on twists to keep the audience invested, only it's...

(John Delia) 2/21/2013 4:14 PM EDT Actor Dwayne Johnson gives a powerful performance in the action drama Snitch opening in theaters this weekend. The film, Based on true accounts, takes you on a suspense filled ride under the fine direction of famous stuntman Ric Roman Waugh. Although the film does provide insight about how the justice system works, the hard knocks story... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/14/2013 10:41 AM EDT Teen romance comes to the screen once more with the supernatural thriller Beautiful Creatures doing its best to break the mold switching from vampire lust to wooing witchery. It's Twilight only better. The film takes you into the coven of some nasty people who want to preserve their species no matter the cost to their teenage daught... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/14/2013 9:03 AM EDT The action gets to fever pitch in A Good Day to Die Hard the fifth in a series of Bruce Willis movies that have attracted large audiences. The film starts off with a bang and never stops with relentless destruction mounting to a thrilling roller coaster ride finish. If you are an action junkie and need a shot of adrenaline, then you won't... Read More |
(John Delia) 2/8/2013 9:40 AM EDT The comedy road tripper Identity Thief enters this weekend's film choices on a good note. Although it's not the best relationship film, I found it entertaining especially if you like the dead pan comedy of Jason Bateman and the wild and wackiness of Melissa McCarthy. If you want some guffaws and whoops, then take a ride with a n... Read More |
