(John Delia) 10/6/2012 6:14 PM EDT With Halloween quickly approaching horror flicks take center stage at the movie theater. But, most fright films this time of the year are not for kids. Disney's Frankenweenie however pulls out all the stops and bolts into movie houses around the nation providing some family fun and its rated PG for most everyone. Direct from ... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/5/2012 10:10 AM EDT If you are looking for a fun film with a lot of liveliness, then look to Pitch Perfect for your entertainment this weekend.

The story centers on Beca (Anna Kendrick) a... Read More |
 
(Paul Kates) 10/5/2012 9:09 AM EDT Liam Neeson first appeared as former CIA operative Bryan Mills in 2008's Taken, in which Mills's daughter was kidnapped by an Albanian sex-trafficking gang while holidaying in Paris. Naturally enough, the overprotective father went to Europe, kicked butt, and rescued his only child. Now 2012 brings the imaginatively titledTaken 2 to our s... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/3/2012 4:48 PM EDT Films about teens are scarce in 2012 so other than Hunger Games that came out in March the pickings have been thin for that genre. With the teen movie Perks of Being a Wallflower opening in a very slow month mostly devoted to horror flicks, hopefully it won't be overlooked as its pretty darn good. Able to touch a finger to the pulse of what m... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 9/29/2012 9:36 PM EDT A father's love for his daughter knows no bounds, even if you're Dracula.

(Richard Augusztin) 9/24/2012 9:53 PM EDT Although 10 Years started off on the slower side for me, as the movie progressed I realized why; the heart of the film lies with the characters' shared back stories, and how each defies or yields to the expectations set for them long ago. That's exactly what writer/director Jamie Linden has done. If you don't have characters... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/20/2012 4:39 PM EDT An enjoyable life drama Trouble with the Curve opens in theaters nationwide with a stellar cast playing likeable characters in this modern day sports story. Drawing on an age old message concerning separated family members the film should hit a home run with those who have been dealing with the problem and need a nudge toward reconciliation.&...

(Paul Kates) 9/20/2012 12:26 PM EDT TV in the UK in the 1970's may not have been unqualifiedly describable as brilliant, but one of the shining lights from that era was cop show "The Sweeney", which starred the late great John Thaw and Dennis Waterman as Regan and Carter.
