(John Delia) 1/6/2012 8:42 AM EDT The British movie Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is not for everyone. It's a mind-numbing film for audiences that crave an involving storyline, can deal with British accents and are into the underpinning of espionage that fueled The Cold War in the 1970's. I am not a big fan of films like this one, but those who are into author John le Ca... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 12/24/2011 6:14 PM EDT Steven Spielberg adds another holiday film to the mix, but this one tends to skew higher on the age scale due the violence and cruelty. The film called War Horse has a bountiful cast of good actors, a bold story and brilliant cinematography that sometimes seems ‘too' real. Although targeted to young boys, the film gets a little to...

(John Delia) 12/22/2011 10:32 PM EDT The heartfelt drama We Bought A Zoo comes to town and it's for the whole family. A true story perfect for the holiday season with an uplifting account that shows what one family can do to help a community while healing themselves. I am a fan of this kind of film as it reminds us of the principles on which America is built, with dreams, ... Read More |
(John Delia) 12/21/2011 9:13 AM EDT Making the most of the animation called performance capture Steven Spielberg creates a wonderful kid adventure with The Adventures of Tintin. The veritable rollercoaster ride of a film is even more spectacular in 3D. Targeted at lads of any age and for good family fun, rush to see the full feature film The Adventures of Tintin. The...

(John Delia) 12/20/2011 7:42 PM EDT The mystery and suspense in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo gets menacing giving audiences an unsuspected thriller. I liked this version over the foreign release of the movie in 2010 because it's in English, has Daniel Craig and the story moves along as it should, unencumbered by faulty direction. For those who like a good detective dra... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 12/15/2011 5:01 PM EDT Take two aspirins and go to bed, a great remedy for Young Adult, an over stated understatement that never gets entertaining. Billed as a comedy, the more the cast tries to make it one, the lesser it becomes. If you like a film with angst riddled plot, underdeveloped characters and only one very good performance than you are the only dem... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 12/15/2011 1:00 PM EDT Another fine adventure for the London detective becomes afoot in the newest 19th century Sir Arthur Conan Doyle crime story Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The cast from the 2009 release reprises their roles under the able direction of Guy Richie making this outing even more exciting than the last. Don't skimp here; choose the theater wit... Read More |
(Marco Chacon) 12/15/2011 9:51 AM EDT Some day Tom Cruise will be too old to reprise Ethan Hunt, the Team Leader for the Impossible Mission Force. I wondered if the 49-year-old Cruise was there already; but there was no need to wonder! The guy has the body of a completely ripped 25-year-old. I am not sure how that is possible; but unless it is CGI, what we see on scr... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 12/11/2011 5:20 PM EDT Noah, the nobody's fool played by Jonah Hill in the haphazardly slapped together comedy The Sitter is a character in search of a movie, a setup in search of a punch line. Less directed, more handled by David Gordon Green, this on-and-off funny rehash of Adventures in Babysitting centers on a college dropout who, at his mother's urging, reluctantly ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 11/27/2011 4:28 PM EDT Arthur Christmas is a great holiday film for the new and old generations. It's a movie that kids can watch with their parents and grandparents and everybody will laugh and enjoy it. It has something for everyone while still staying true to its values and cute storyline. It is unlikely it will become a holiday tradition or must-see Christmas flick, ... Read More |
