The Expendables 2

(Paul Kates) 8/17/2012 8:41 AM EST
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 ...

The Odd Life of Timothy Green

(John Delia) 8/16/2012 3:02 PM EST
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

The Bourne Legacy

(John Delia) 8/10/2012 12:45 AM EST
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...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

(Sean Ferguson) 8/3/2012 7:40 AM EST
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

Total Recall

(Nathan M Rose) 8/3/2012 12:39 AM EST
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

The Watch

(John Delia) 7/26/2012 11:07 AM EST
The screwball film The Watch tries hard to entertain, but sinks below average even with its fine cast of witty pros. The film struggles, trying to make the scanty script work by upping the crude and rude level with a lot of off color sight gags, a good measure of dumbness and strong sexual innuendos. The only reason for making the trek to your loca... Read More

The Dark Knight Rises

(John Delia) 7/19/2012 10:29 AM EST
This may be the film that knocks off The Avengers from the all time box-office winner for 2012. The movie is called The Dark Knight Rises, but loyal fans will refer to the film as Batman and they know that this dark knight has all the power to rise above any comic book hero the industry can throw at him. For me, I'm just one of the crew, ... Read More

Savages

(John Delia) 7/5/2012 8:12 PM EST
If you are looking for gut wrenching excitement in a movie with a brilliant cast and a creative storyline then choose Savages, this year's most powerful action filled drama to date. Intense and intriguing, the film has scenes so extreme that I felt myself gripping the theatre arm rests. If you think the drug wars were crazy in No Country for ... Read More

The Amazing Spider-Man

(John Delia) 7/2/2012 12:02 PM EST
The production of The Amazing Spider-Man makes it a standout in visual acuity but misses its mark in originality and thrills. That aside, it's still a must see for hero worshipers, action seekers and Marvel comic book fans. To give the best review possible, I took out my DVD of Spider-Man, which was released in 2002, starring T... Read More

People Like Us

(Chris Rebholz) 7/1/2012 10:40 AM EST
"People Like Us" is the story of two siblings' responses to their father's death. The first five minutes add up to a well crafted character study, as whip-smart salesman Sam (Chris Pine) is stunned by the news that his father has died suddenly. Still resentful of his emotionally distant old man, Sam reluctantly heads home to ... Read More
