(John Delia) 11/18/2011 9:27 AM EDT How to screw up your life without really trying seems to be the theme of the film Like Crazy an inconceivable little film that's poorly written and delivered. Even with heartthrobs Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, the predictable unlikely plot just kills any chance for a dramatic winner. Writer director Drake Doremus centers his film on... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 11/18/2011 9:11 AM EDT The film Melancholia by writer and director Lars von Trier stimulates the artistic part of the brain with sprawling landscape images, ominous tableaus and threatening visuals of a drifting planet. The film moves along playing out like the definition of its title. Melancholia: a mental condition and especially a manic-depressive condition characteri... Read More |
(John Delia) 11/17/2011 1:55 PM EDT Well the Twilight Saga has finally reached its ebb with the first half of Breaking Dawn that opens this weekend in theaters around the world. Certainly expected to be earth shaking due to millions of young girls and twenty-something's rushing to the box-office to get a look at semi-nude Robert Pattenson making love to his comely co-star Krist...

(Eric English) 11/11/2011 10:40 PM EDT For the new film Immortals directed by Tarsem Singh, looks are everything. A movie can have a lousy screenplay and uninteresting characters, but as long as the costumes are immaculate and the production design superb, then little else matters. Immortals attempts at having as much machismo as 300 but comes up quite short and has about as much mythol... Read More |
 
(John Delia) 11/11/2011 1:58 PM EDT I hope the film Anonymous is true because as being a former Theatre (plays) critic it has always intrigued me if William Shakespeare did or didn't write his sonnets and plays. So, being the kind of guy I am and having enjoyed the film so much, it must be very near the truth. Even if this period piece was all contrived, the settings, cos... Read More |
(John Delia) 11/9/2011 1:45 PM EDT The interesting and historical J. Edgar has reached local movie theatres with very good performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts and Judi Dench. The film has a few flaws, but it does give a good account of the man who was the first director of the FBI. The film follows the life of J. Edgar Hoover (DiCaprio) the first director of ...

(Chris Rebholz) 11/6/2011 8:19 PM EDT Rush Hour's Brett Ratner returns to direct Tower Heist, a lighthearted film with an impressive ensemble cast. Stiller plays the lead Josh, a workaholic manger of ‘The Tower'; a set of elite apartments in New York owned by one Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda). Josh has always looked up to Shaw and the two have something of a friendship they are even ch... Read More |
(John Delia) 11/3/2011 7:33 PM EDT Definitely a man flick A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas follows up on the other two outings with a lot of eye candy and sex, but the gals will get an eye full too. You do not have to have seen the other two flicks, but I bet you will go rent them after seeing this wild comedy; it's as good at The Hangover. Their signature full circle cra... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/31/2011 10:26 PM EDT Writer/director Andrew Niccol's films make you pause and require some smart thinking. His film Gattaca, which he wrote, was also his first directing debut and a favorite of some sci-fi fans. Next came The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey and written and produced by Niccol, which received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Screenplay. N... Read More |
(John Delia) 10/27/2011 3:33 PM EDT A testy screenplay that turns conventional upside down becomes an enjoyable madcap adventure with Johnny Depp's ‘intoxicating' performance. The daring filmmaking that takes a chance with the outlandish Hunter S. Thompson book The Rum Diary comes up a winner. Not a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but a very good companion piece.&nb...
