(John Delia) 11/15/2012 1:56 PM EDT No matter what I say about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, the fanatical female fans of The Twilight Saga will head to the theaters in droves. A flick for the chicks, the men may as well stay at home from this mushy romance that thinks it's a fantasy yet panders to lust and a family affair. A far cry from Breaking Dawn Part... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 11/15/2012 1:55 PM EDT Based on a true story The Sessions will open your eyes, titillate and warm your heart. The strange account features excellent convincing acting on the part of John Hawkes and Helen Hunt earning them what I feel will be an Oscar Nomination. If you want to see something completely different, poignant and unusual presented in a very creati... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 11/15/2012 1:54 PM EDT The biopic film Lincoln provides a look at how politics changed the United States in the final months of the 16th President's life. It's a dark boding story that takes you into the heart of a historical political debate, a congress divided and a family being pulled apart. If you like films with educational substance, excellent acting and dark... Read More |
 
(Paul Kates) 11/7/2012 11:03 AM EDT For the past fifty years, one name has been synonymous with the action movie: James Bond. Fifty years in one profession, spanning 22 feature films, and you would expect the British secret agent with a licence to kill would be worthy of retirement and a decent pension, and that may have been the case when news broke in 2010 of financial troubles at ...

(John Delia) 11/1/2012 8:39 AM EDT Whether you've ever heard of the video game "Fix-It Felix" or played it when you were young, Wreck It Ralph provides a fun time in this adventure for the whole family. Filled with action and comedy the animated film grabs you from the start and involves you in a tale of wonderment and hope. From sassy to sinister, clumsy to crusher ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/28/2012 1:17 PM EDT Since 2009, there have been four "Paranormal Activity" pictures. The last "Silent Hill" movie came out in 2006, which is practically a century in horror film franchise years. Genre fans have short attention spans, making the delayed appearance of "Silent Hill: Revelation" a real head scratcher, especially after the ori... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/25/2012 8:30 AM EDT Tedious comes to mind after watching this tale of fantasy that spans six time periods within five centuries played out in nearly 3 hours. Cloud Atlas, although an admirable piece of movie making tends to be so complex that viewers I'm afraid, will just not get it. It's a brain teaser of sorts, one that challenges an audience to connect ... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/18/2012 11:16 AM EDT Even with fine acting on the part of the central cast, Alex Cross rises to no more than average due to uneven directing and a weak screenplay. That said the film's main star Tyler Perry should draw a huge audience of curiosity seekers who want to see his first film starring role as an action actor. The story centers on Alex Cross (Tyler ...

(John Delia) 10/12/2012 8:44 AM EDT When you have a violent comedy your cast must have the ability to carry out the dialogue with dead pan and tongue-in-cheek precision, with Seven Psychopaths there's no doubt. Much like the humor in Inglourious Basterds, In Bruges and most of the Grindhouse films, the script and actors fit the bill. If you can deal with the bloody scenes... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/11/2012 3:57 PM EDT Based on a true story the suspense filled film Argo involving the rescue of six Americans opens in theaters this weekend. Set in the background of unrest in Iran during the President Jimmy Carter era, the covert operation was kept secret until the late 1990's. The drama based on a book of the same title features a solid script, some fin... Read More |
