Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

(Roger Longenbach) 6/22/2012 8:36 AM EDT
Usually with a disaster movie you follow the main characters as they fight for survival. In this case, we have something different: there is no hope for survival. What would you do? Would you party like its 1999? Would you loot? Would you continue about your daily life? Would you spend it with your family? ... Read More

Rock of Ages

(Paul Kates) 6/14/2012 9:43 AM EDT
The raw edge of 1980's rock music, mixed liberally with the associated lingo, leads to a fun-packed, two hours of movie fun in the form of Rock of Ages. It should have you singing along to a whole host of recognizable hits that have stood the test of time.Based on the hit Broadway show, the movie follows wannabe singers Sherrie (Julianne Hough) and...

That's My Boy

(John Delia) 6/13/2012 4:45 PM EDT
Coming off a dismal outing with Jack and Jill, Adam Sandler releases his newest comedy That's My Boy trying to reconnect to his fans. Partnering up with Andy Samberg and going old school he makes the film a hit. The very funny story builds during each act leading to a very humorous ending. The silly little plot goes like this; w...

Prometheus

(Paul Kates) 6/8/2012 7:57 AM EDT
In 1979, Director Ridley Scott gave the world one of the most iconic sci-fi horror movies we had ever seen — Alien — and with it a tagline as recognizable today as it was then: "In space, no one can hear you scream." Even today, those words have the ability to send a shiver down your spine. Alien and its no... Read More

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

(John Delia) 6/7/2012 10:18 PM EDT
Jumping to the top of the list of my 2012 comedy favorites Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted it's not just for kids. The laughter filled animated adventure tops its two previous films with a very engaging story, excellent 3D and new fun characters. Don't be hesitant to take your family to one of the brightest animated films to come out this ... Read More

Snow White and the Huntsman

(John Delia) 6/1/2012 7:38 AM EDT
The Brother's Grimm fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" comes to the screen portraying its malevolent power and dark imagery. What makes Snow White and the Huntsman worth the watch is the exciting story, brilliant sets and scenery, inventive cinematography, nicely placed CGI and costumes. If you want to see the classic ...

Men in Black III

(John Delia) 5/24/2012 2:18 PM EDT
After squirming in my seat trying to get more comfortable several times I began to realize that there's something wrong with Men in Black 3, it drones, creating a lackadaisical mood that destroys any comical stimulus. That said, the film however reeks with plot, silly alien characters and amazing guns and gadgets. But, the glitz and... Read More

What To Expect When You Are Expecting

(Chris Rebholz) 5/18/2012 10:05 AM EDT
First published in 1984, Heidi Murkoff's book was peer-driven pregnancy information based on actual experiences at a time when Dr. Spock had cornered the child-care market. The book remains a classic; four editions later, it's spawned a host of related titles and copycats. No surprise, then, that Hollywood finally came calling, e... Read More

Battleship

(John Delia) 5/17/2012 10:44 AM EDT
Who'd ever think they could make a film from a kids Hasbro board game and come up a winner. With Battleship they did just that and it's more action, thrills, amazing special effects than I had ever imagined possible. If you like alien invasion movies with cool spaceships, scary spacemen, saw bladed war drones and explosive rocket pegs t... Read More

The Dictator

(John Delia) 5/16/2012 8:28 AM EDT
Silly, brainless, raunchy, ridiculous, bizarre, outrageous, inane yet somehow funny, The Dictator, a screwball story that entertains has opened in movie houses across America. If you have seen Sacha Baron Cohen's films Bruno, Ali G and Borat and like his tongue in cheek comedy that embarrasses, humiliates, disgraces and ridicules, then this n... Read More
