Take two aspirins and go to bed, a great remedy for Young Adult, an over stated understatement that never gets entertaining. Billed as a comedy, the more the cast tries to make it one, the lesser it becomes. If you like a film with angst riddled plot, underdeveloped characters and only one very good […]

BLACKTHORN, Ho Hum
December 15th, 2011 John Delia When you think of Butch Cassidy we immediately add ‘and the Sundance Kid’, but if you saw the original movie, you know that the two died in a break to freedom in Bolivia. But, what if Butch lived and escaped his untimely death? This is the premise of the film Blackthorn starring Sam Shepard. The […]

LE HAVRE, A Compassionate Indie
December 8th, 2011 John Delia One of the better foreign films to be released in the US, Le Havre makes a statement about human rights. I like the way the movie presents the characters, moves the story along and ends on an upbeat note. If you love movies that put some heart into the storyline, then go see Le […]
INTO THE ABYSS, A Questionable Doc
December 2nd, 2011 John Delia I’m not really fond of evaluating films based on political questions, religious beliefs or social values, so with Into the Abyss, my review will be short and sweet.

THE SKIN I LIVE IN, Deliciously Bizarre
December 1st, 2011 John Delia This film gets so incredible that it’s perfect for mainstream and fans of the “bizarre” alike. It’s called The Skin I Live In and if you use your imagination and accept it for face value you will be thoroughly entertained. It’s not The Bride of Frankenstein, but revenge has never been sweeter.

Women Playing Men
November 23rd, 2011 baeby When I first saw the pictures of Glenn Close as Albert Nobbs, I did not think anything of them other than the lack of makeup shows her true age, and kudos to her for being so bold to show it in this world of plasticized women on a mission to retain their youth as long […]
