The Vow

(Chris Rebholz) 2/10/2012 9:11 AM EST
Very few men will admit this, but we do have a romantic side. When it comes to cinema there are few films that men will lower themselves to watch because they are just too "girlie" for their tastes, unless there is an over abundance of fart jokes and nudity. However if a film is handled tastefully with well thought out characters most men... Read More

Shame

(John Delia) 2/9/2012 10:58 AM EST
Brilliantly written, cunningly directed and very disturbing Shame gives a fly on the wall view of forbidden sex. What makes this film a work of art however, comes with the fine acting by Fassbender and Carey Mulligan who give performances worthy of an Oscar. The story centers on Brandon (Michael Fassbender) a successful businessman... Read More

Safe House

(John Delia) 2/9/2012 10:11 AM EST
If you like your movies with constant action from beginning to end, then go and check out Safe House, a thrill a minute. As a matter of fact, Ryan Reynolds has successfully crossed the line between comedy and drama with a performance like he has never delivered. If all of a sudden you get an epiphany on where the film's going, not to wo... Read More

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

(Paul Kates) 2/9/2012 8:57 AM EST
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island runs along the same format as the 2008 Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Josh Hutcherson comes back as Sean Anderson while Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson takes on the father figure or I should say step-father character Hank, while Michael Caine adds some class playing Sean's Grandfather Alexander.Sean obvious...

The Woman in Black

(John Delia) 2/3/2012 8:36 AM EST
For the first time being away from his comfort zone of playing Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe takes on a Victorian horror flick called The Woman in Black. Although Radcliffe has shown a strong growth on his way to being an adult film star, he chose this film that has to prove he has made it. Good choice or bad, he's now matured and read... Read More

Chronicle

(John Delia) 2/2/2012 11:21 AM EST
"It's all the buzz" and for good reason, Chronicle the movie takes aim for a box-office bundle with a "super-powered" film that's directed at one of the largest movie going audiences, pre-teen to 25. The highly imaginative, intensely thrilling teen film pushes all the right buttons providing a feeding for the frenz... Read More

With an exciting beginning and suspense filled story Man on a Ledge entertains those that love a good thriller.

Exciting, terrifying, intriguing and thrilling The Grey provides a stunning entry in the erratic first month of the year.

If you like a white-knuckle panic film that challenges your worst fears, The Grey will have you in its sn... Read More

Red Tails

(John Delia) 1/19/2012 11:40 AM EST
George Lucas known for his adventure and science fiction films tears a page from the WWII war history book and produces Red Tails a true story of courage in the face of adversity and discrimination. Much like Spike Lee's Miracle at St. Anna the backdrop of war becomes the field on which we see the selfless devotion of African-American soldiers help... Read More
