The Croods, a Hilarious Prehistoric Romp (Film Review)
March 22nd, 2013 John Delia You’ve seen Ice Age, maybe even remember The Flint Stones, but they can’t hold a candle to The Croods, a prehistoric family that puts an A in adventure and animation with characters that are downright silly and I mean that in a good way.

Admission, a Movie About Rejection (Film Review)
March 22nd, 2013 John Delia An interesting film for the subject matter that’s shows the inner workings of a student Admissions Department at a major college and a spoof that dampens the credibility of that office, plagues the film Admission now in theaters.

Spring Breakers, a Bikini “Bust” (Film Review)
March 22nd, 2013 John Delia Glitz, glamor, gross, guns, and gratuitous nudity, violence, drugs and sex, that’s the sum of the new film Spring Breakers in theaters this weekend. While they bill the film as a comedy, there’s not much of that and as for drama the acting’s so poor it’s more laughable than tragic. I will say that […]

Burt Wonderstone, Loses its Magic (Film Review)
March 15th, 2013 John Delia Not overly zealous in the comedy department, but The Incredible Burt Wonderstone gets high marks for charming. Support acting, direction and some great movie magic save the film making it almost worthwhile. If you are a fan of Steve Carell, he’s still at the top of his game, but its Buscemi, Arkin, Wilde and […]
