We Bought A Zoo

(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

The Adventures of Tintin

(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...

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

(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

Young Adult

(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

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

(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

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

(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

The Sitter

(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

Arthur Christmas

(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

Hugo

(John Delia) 11/23/2011 7:14 AM EDT
Director Martin Scorsese takes his audience on a magical ride through a Paris train station in the adventurous tale Hugo. Graced with an amazing cast that makes his wonderful characters come alive, it's an enchanting production. Set in 1920's France the movie centers on young Hugo (Asa Butterfield) who has been orphaned due to the untime... Read More

A Dangerous Method

(Chris Rebholz) 11/22/2011 6:53 PM EDT
David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method is a film that grows on you the more you think about it; even considering the filmmaker's recent efforts, it is a picture that you keep waiting to get going, but it never quite does; however it nestles itself into your mind, where its oddness and intricacies continue to resonate long after the credits h...
