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

Man on a Ledge

(John Delia) 1/26/2012 1:34 PM EST
With an exciting beginning and suspense filled story Man on a Ledge entertains those that love a good thriller. With very good performances and an action filled script that's nicely directed this year's box office should leap into high gear.

(John Delia) 1/26/2012 9:05 AM EST
Exciting, terrifying, intriguing and thrilling The Grey provides a stunning entry in the erratic first month of the year. Good acting all around, electrifying cinematography and able direction keeps the film moving and entertaining.

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

Haywire

From a ravenous mixed martial arts maven to a star overnight Gina Carano takes acting to new heights in Haywire a spy thriller from Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh. Her screen presence gets so lively that I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. Knowing that the blows she has to give her adversaries have a lot of impact ... Read More

Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close

(John Delia) 1/19/2012 9:15 AM EST
The touching film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close delves into the mind of a young boy on a quest. It's not the quest that's important here, but the determination and desire to make peace with a loss so great it's nearly impossible. Director Stephen Daldry takes us on that journey as if we were the ones looking for answers.&nbs... Read More

Carnage

(John Delia) 1/12/2012 8:34 AM EST
Bizarre and yet a tasty morsel, Carnage is one of those ‘fly on the wall' films where in this case you get to watch the decay of one's social skills and can laugh without them hearing you. It's four stellar actors in a room with a very wacky script and a tall order of ego, all moving in opposite directions over a simple solution. T... Read More

Contraband

(John Delia) 1/12/2012 8:26 AM EST
I can see why Contraband has been set for release in January, with December being action/adventure month this gem would have been buried in their dust. And that would have been a shame, because this gritty story has a lot going for it. With non-stop thrills, chills and spills this film entertains big time. Andy (Caleb Landry Jones) has t... Read More
