Conan The Barbarian

(John Delia) 8/18/2011 10:17 AM EST
Hollywood has a way of reinventing things by rejuvenating characters and bringing them up to date with all the bells and whistles necessary to make it ‘fresh and new.' This is the case of the film Conan the Barbarian where they have remade a classic adding all the CGI bells and whistles then throwing in some topless women for eye candy.... Read More

30 Minutes or Less

(Chris Rebholz) 8/12/2011 11:26 AM EST
When it comes to comedies the simplest plot device is the easiest one. When you look at films like Harold & Kumar, Pineapple Express, or The Hangover you can see how a simple scenario can become fodder for uproarious hilarity. That being said, it doesn't always work out that way and in the case of 30 Minutes or Less we are left wanting more... Read More

Final Destination 5

(John Delia) 8/11/2011 6:57 PM EST
Shattering, piercing, gut wrenching, queasy, bloody, gouging, bone breaking, mind blowing, and yet mesmerizing that's what Final Destination 5 is all about, especially in 3D. This is one of those select few films that use 3 Dimension well and it will blow your mind. If you have never seen a Final Destination movie or are a big fan o... Read More

The Help

(John Delia) 8/9/2011 9:25 PM EST
It's hard to believe that it was only a short period of time ago that people were still separating black from white. In The Help we find what a little thing like writing a book could do to stir up segregation and bring it to the forefront. In this story there's a huge helping of right versus wrong with an unexpected outcome that reminds... Read More

The Change-Up

(John Delia) 8/4/2011 7:22 AM EST
Not much to say positive about The Change UP a lame film that tries every old trick in the book to grab your attention and make you think it's comedy. The film suffers from ‘I've seen that before' and a sick humor syndrome. If you think that watching a baby try to stick its hand in a blender is funny, then this is your kind of wei... Read More

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

(John Delia) 8/4/2011 7:19 AM EST
Do you have your Action/Adventure fill for summer, or are you ready for more? Try Rise of the Planet of the Apes for a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. I like the way Director Rupert Wyatt makes sure each exciting scene develops with emotion, first creating interest, then suspense finalizing in aggressive thrills. &... Read More

The Smurfs

(Nathan M Rose) 7/29/2011 9:01 AM EST
Those lovable Smurfs have finally hit the big screen this summer with their first theatrical live-action-film, simply entitled, The Smurfs. The Smurfs follows the adventures of Papa Smurf and his fellow Smurfs as they are sucked through a magical voxrtex from their world into our modern day society. However, to add to their troubles, the... Read More

Attack The Block

(Marco Duran) 7/28/2011 10:35 PM EST
The South London housing estates, or "blocks", have always been a great place to stage a film, especially to a Yankee like me. When I think of London, I think of some place nice and clean and free of crime where you can walk down the alley after having a few pints at the local pub and not feel the least bit afraid of being accosted....

Cowboys & Aliens

(John Delia) 7/28/2011 10:35 AM EST
Strap your six-gun to your waist, tie the string around your leg and ride over to see the movie Cowboys & Aliens a rip snorting account of a universe invasion. Seriously now, there will be no guns allowed in the movie theatre, not even toy type. If you want some action with great special effects that make a film come alive with awes... Read More

The Devil's Double

(Marco Chacon) 7/22/2011 12:54 PM EST
Uday Hussein, eldest son of Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, was allegedly known for torturing national athletes who failed to win. He was known for kidnapping school girls off the streets of Baghdad and raping, and perhaps sometimes murdering them. He was called a psychopath by Egyptian leader, Mubarak. The story, The Devil's ... Read More
