(John Delia) 6/17/2013 9:17 AM EDT Taking special effects and sound to a new level Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement. The audience for the film targets teen males to thirties and women who like action films. The movie will be released on Blu-ray in a special combo pack that includes the DVD, UltraViolet and a code for a 14 Day XBOX Life Gold ... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/12/2013 11:07 AM EDT The bold, dazzling and dramatic Oz the Great and Powerful comes to 3D Blu-ray with excellent quality. Nearly critic proof, the film brought one of the largest box office returns for 2013. However, although the film is a masterpiece of cinematography and CGI, the acting and direction do have problems. The film has also been released in a Blu-r... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/11/2013 4:46 PM EDT Taking a walk on the dark side for a comic book favorite, Man of Steel blazes into theaters under the direction of Zack Snyder this weekend and he's aiming at taking over Iron Man as the best box-office superhero. The cast, crew and story are impeccable providing a brooding look into the life of Superman and the battle for planet Earth. Yet t... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/11/2013 10:23 AM EDT In a smart move by Seth Rogen for his fans things start getting Looney bins in his new film This Is The End, an apocalyptic film that features most all his old pals and then some. The movie isn't more than a goof on the end of the world, but it scorches when it comes to the comedy the stars bring to the screen. If you've ever wa... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/6/2013 3:56 PM EDT The comedies are starting to invade movie theaters this summer, some raunchy others just for fun and The Internship fits into the latter genre of a good old fashion laugher. With two of my favorite comedians teaming up for the first time since Wedding Crashers, this little ditty had me in stitches most of the time. If you like wacky com... Read More |
(John Delia) 6/4/2013 8:28 AM EDT One of the better series for teens that enjoy a fix of horror, Teen Wolf, has released their second season on DVD. It's darker than original film starring Michael J. Fox in 1885, and has very good acting, a good continuing story and sufficient character development. Directed at the youth audience the third season of Teen Wolf begins tod... Read More |
(John Delia) 5/30/2013 8:31 PM EDT There have been some good film's featuring magicians, but it's been quite awhile since a bright one has come along to challenge their forerunners. Opening this weekend is Now You See Me and it's a fast moving, quick thinking, mindbender that's fueled by a mysterious story and played out by a great cast. If you like intrigue, mystery, ma...

(John Delia) 5/30/2013 3:52 PM EDT Taking a chance on another science fiction thriller, M. Night Shyamalan probes disaster with After Earth. The trick here is can he rise above his box-office misses like The Last Airbender and Lady in the Water. His Sixth Sense has never been equaled and for that he still has a following. Here, Shyamalan gets smart and brings in a top st... Read More |
(John Delia) 5/30/2013 9:19 AM EDT One of the most spectacular films made back in the day Cleopatra comes to Blu-ray two months shy of its 50th birthday and it exudes nostalgia of yesteryears. This release has a special significance as it's the 4 hours plus version that was shown at the premiere in New York for its debut. Colorful, eventful and historical, the movie feat... Read More |
(John Delia) 5/28/2013 8:52 AM EDT Believable characters played by a fine cast save Dark Skies and keep it just scary enough to make it work. I am a fan of science fiction and especially those based on possibilities of being a reality, so I wasn't sure if I could be challenged with this film based on aliens. After watching Dark Skies on Blu-ray one dark night however... Read More |
