(John Delia) 8/31/2012 9:47 AM EDT Even though Robot & Frank has some rough edges to smooth out, the film does produce a sweet bond between man and machine. Finding this little gem at your local theater would be an opportunity to see some excellent acting with a cute little quirky storyline. A retired cat burglar and jewel thief, Frank (Frank Langella) has been challe... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 8/28/2012 4:15 PM EDT Totally out of control, the Bondurant brothers were a part of history that could only have been called Lawless. The movie that opens today builds on the almost true story of bootleggers in Virginia from a recollection by Matt Bondurant, the grandson of one of the three main characters. Lawless ‘shines' in all departments inclu... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/24/2012 10:26 AM EDT Showing most all the ills in the world Cosmopolis gives its audience a slow moving picture of our decaying civilization. Although the film is nicely acted and directed, there's too much crammed into the nearly two-hour movie to really appreciate the meaning of it all. The warning here insinuates the self-destruction of our great society... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 8/24/2012 9:46 AM EDT Action junkies beware the movie Premium Rush streaks into theaters this weekend and it's a sweet adrenaline rush. The film features some excellent shots of New York City through the eyes of a rapid camera that draws focus on all the heart pumping drama. The fine acting and directing make this hour and a half body in motion film work.&nb... Read More |
(Stephen Compall) 8/21/2012 8:20 AM EDT The motor sounds are real. Writer/director/star Dax Shepard (Parenthood, When in Rome) provided many of the vehicles from his personal collection, and does all his own stunts. So he reported, in his appearance following the screening at which I saw Read More |
(Paul Kates) 8/17/2012 8:41 AM EDT The Expendables are back, and this time they are even more explosive than before. All the old cohorts from the original movie return, joined by new recruits Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth), Booker (Chuck Norris), Jean Vilain (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Maggie (Yu Nan), in director Simon West’s sequel.In 2010, the first Expendables read like a who’s ...

(John Delia) 8/16/2012 3:02 PM EDT An enchanting story of inspiration and hope, The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens in movie theaters. The nice little film has an uplifting story for the whole family even though it over fanaticizes at times. Translation from script to screen seems to have been a chore however and the pieces of the puzzle look like they have been jammed t... Read More |
(John Delia) 8/10/2012 12:45 AM EDT Director Tony Gilroy takes his time spooling out The Bourne Legacy just avoiding the snooze factor in this forth installment of the Bourne series. The film is steeped in a lot of superfluous character build up, long periods of uneventful scenes and an outcome that doesn't deliver. If you are looking for an action thriller from this four...

(Sean Ferguson) 8/3/2012 7:40 AM EDT Our kids' summer break is winding down, but before they head back to school, they can enjoy the last few "Dog Days" of summer with Rowley, Greg and his annoying brother Rodrick, in the third edition in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series. Since the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series exploded on to the tween scene in 2007, Aut... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 8/3/2012 12:39 AM EDT In a summer of sequels and reboots comes our first remake, Total Recall. This entry is based on the 1990 film of the same name, and the short story by acclaimed science fiction writer Phillip K. Dick. It seeks to retell the story of Douglas Quaid - a blue collar worker with an average life living in the future who believes he is cut out for somethi... Read More |
