Skyfall

(Paul Kates) 11/7/2012 11:03 AM EST
For the past fifty years, one name has been synonymous with the action movie: James Bond. Fifty years in one profession, spanning 22 feature films, and you would expect the British secret agent with a licence to kill would be worthy of retirement and a decent pension, and that may have been the case when news broke in 2010 of financial troubles at ...

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D

(Chris Rebholz) 10/28/2012 1:17 PM EST
Since 2009, there have been four "Paranormal Activity" pictures. The last "Silent Hill" movie came out in 2006, which is practically a century in horror film franchise years. Genre fans have short attention spans, making the delayed appearance of "Silent Hill: Revelation" a real head scratcher, especially after the ori... Read More

Cloud Atlas

(John Delia) 10/25/2012 8:30 AM EST
Tedious comes to mind after watching this tale of fantasy that spans six time periods within five centuries played out in nearly 3 hours. Cloud Atlas, although an admirable piece of movie making tends to be so complex that viewers I'm afraid, will just not get it. It's a brain teaser of sorts, one that challenges an audience to connect ... Read More

Alex Cross

(John Delia) 10/18/2012 11:16 AM EST
Even with fine acting on the part of the central cast, Alex Cross rises to no more than average due to uneven directing and a weak screenplay. That said the film's main star Tyler Perry should draw a huge audience of curiosity seekers who want to see his first film starring role as an action actor. The story centers on Alex Cross (Tyler ...

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

Argo

(John Delia) 10/11/2012 3:57 PM EST
Based on a true story the suspense filled film Argo involving the rescue of six Americans opens in theaters this weekend. Set in the background of unrest in Iran during the President Jimmy Carter era, the covert operation was kept secret until the late 1990's. The drama based on a book of the same title features a solid script, some fin... Read More

Sinister

(Sean Ferguson) 10/11/2012 9:10 AM EST
[sin-uh-ster] 1. threatening or portending evil, harm, or trouble; ominous: a sinister film. Sinister, the latest effort by Scott Derrickson, Director of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", is a film about true crime novelist Ellison Oswalt, who is way past his 15 minutes of fame, and is trying so desperately to get it back. So ... Read More

Frankenweenie

(John Delia) 10/6/2012 6:14 PM EST
With Halloween quickly approaching horror flicks take center stage at the movie theater. But, most fright films this time of the year are not for kids. Disney's Frankenweenie however pulls out all the stops and bolts into movie houses around the nation providing some family fun and its rated PG for most everyone. Direct from ... Read More

Pitch Perfect

(John Delia) 10/5/2012 10:10 AM EST
If you are looking for a fun film with a lot of liveliness, then look to Pitch Perfect for your entertainment this weekend. It's not just a comedy, but a creative musical that aims at a younger crowd yet reaches all adult levels with snappy wit, involving storyline and high energy performances. The story centers on Beca (Anna Kendrick) a... Read More
