(Chris Rebholz) 7/1/2012 10:40 AM EDT "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 |
 
(John Delia) 6/28/2012 3:51 PM EDT Most all of us have had a Teddy Bear when we were young, even if it was in the form of Yoda or Raggedy Ann, but nothing like the one in the movie Ted. This fun filled film gives a great show under the direction of Seth MacFarlane who knows comedy and shows off his skills in a big way with Ted. The fantasy story centers on John Bennett (M...

(John Delia) 6/28/2012 2:15 PM EDT Bare bods and fast music can't save Magic Mike. Even if the ladies think they are being entertained, it's all a façade to cash in on a voyeuristic business that has clung to the sexual 90's. It may be a take on Tatum's early teen romp to fill his pockets, but the actor did better with his "Step-up" acting than he does h... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 6/23/2012 6:52 PM EDT Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter": Those four words, strung together in that order, sound like a lot of fun, don't they? It's a totally ridiculous premise, this notion that the 16th U.S. president lived a whole other secret life, prowling about at night, seeking out bloodsuckers. But it's a creative one, and it should have prov... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 6/22/2012 1:42 PM EDT The latest feature from cinema Juggernaut Pixar is Brave and while visually it is everything we've come to expect from that think-tank of geniuses it might disappoint many loyal fans. This marks the 13th animated feature from the world's most consistently successful film company and the first (for them) set in that version ... Read More |
(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 |
(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...

(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...

(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 |
(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 |
