(Marco Chacon) 10/27/2011 9:08 AM EDT In the original story, Puss is a pretty arrogant cat. He is not much of a sword-fighter, but is very smart as well as smartly dressed. In Shrek, he is Antonio Bandaras, and he is a wizard with a blade. Now we get a spin-off that takes place before the Shrek films: Puss is an outlaw who grew up in an orphanage and hun...

(Chris Rebholz) 10/23/2011 2:40 PM EDT It is beyond amazing at how easily someone can take a classic tale and turn it into something unentertaining. What was once an epic tale has been watered down for the sake of the 3D craze and instead focuses on a dress wearing Milla Jovovich who is essentially incorporating all the moves from her Resident Evil films.It isn't too surprising to see h...

(John Delia) 10/13/2011 11:25 AM EDT Fans of the film The Thing beware; even though the movie takes you back to the Norwegian outpost providing a beginning to John Carpenter's 1982 film with the same title, it may as well have been a remake. Those that have never seen Carpenter's masterpiece however, will get all the chills and thrills of the original. For fun, why... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 10/13/2011 8:35 AM EDT Back in 1984, a small film, featuring Kevin Bacon, emerged on the silver screen – it was entitled, Footloose. The film went on to have moderate box office success, spawn a few hit singles and have a lasting impression on Generation X. Now 26 years later, Footloose is coming back to the silver screen -- this time staring an unknown cast,... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 10/7/2011 10:30 AM EDT Given the terrible state of our economical and political landscape at the moment, a film like The Ides of March could not have come at a better time. The movie tells the fictional story of a Presidential candidate and his team while they attempt to make a successful run for the White House.George Clooney plays Governor and Presidential Candidate Mi...

(John Delia) 10/7/2011 9:07 AM EDT Director Marc Forster who filmed Quantum of Solace and Monster's Ball brings Machine Gun Preacher to the screen and drives home a winner. His production of the true story of the merciless killings in East Africa and one man's untiring commitment to helping children in the path of civil war provides a chill that's hard to forget. Th...

(John Delia) 10/6/2011 10:51 AM EDT It's not Rocky, it's Real Steel, but you would think you were watching the great boxing film in another dimension. The gritty, action packed fight film blows the lid off some extreme robots on it's way to being an entertaining film for those who like a good punch fest. I liked this film for the action, comedy and father-son relationship... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/30/2011 7:05 AM EDT It's a chick flick, so there you go, I said it right up front. And, What's Your Number? is very predictable, so there you go again. AND it's 27 Dresses with a bit more sex and without Katherine Heigl. Actually, I almost liked the film up until two scenes that show the moral decay of American cinema. The story follows Ally Dar...

(John Delia) 9/29/2011 11:34 AM EDT When I see Seth Rogen's name listed in the cast of a film the first thing that comes to my mind is a wild comedy. But in 50/50 Rogen adjusts his bizarre persona and creates a character that provides the right medicine to a poignant situation. Although the film gets a little sappy at times, it delivers a strong meaningful story. ... Read More |
(John Delia) 9/22/2011 4:39 PM EDT Even though the acting is stellar, unless you are a baseball fan or star struck on Brad Pitt, then you may want to shy away from Moneyball. The film gets pretty hot and heavy into the subject matter of money versus mom's apple pie and the rites of summer. It's not about little Jimmy loving his favorite player because that piece of colla... Read More |
