Seven Psychopaths

(John Delia) 10/12/2012 8:44 AM EST
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

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

(John Delia) 10/3/2012 4:48 PM EST
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

10 Years

(Richard Augusztin) 9/24/2012 9:53 PM EST
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
