“ABOVE AND BEYOND” (Film Review & Trailer)
February 15th, 2015 John Delia A very concise and interesting documentary Above and Beyond tells the story of Israel’s war for independence in 1948. For the first time since the valiant group of pilots put themselves in mortal jeopardy, their story comes to a full length movie. It’s a tribute to the word honor and the phrase “for God […]

“KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE (Film Review & Trailer)
February 13th, 2015 John Delia Move over James Bond, there’s a new game in town and they have as many gadgets and toys. Kingsman: The Secret Service is very cool and aptly fills the void for a sci-fi adventure comedy left by Guardians of the Galaxy. The main characters in Kingsman are smart, fascinating, and often time violent, getting […]
“FIFTY SHADES OF GREY” (Film Review & Trailer)
February 13th, 2015 John Delia This review may be a little nontraditional for my readers, but I thought why not give a real interesting observation of Fifty Shades of Grey based on what the mood was at the screening I attended. The auditorium was packed with women 21 to 40 and the very few men, mostly critics and others […]
“MOMMY” (Foreign Film Review & Trailer)
February 13th, 2015 John Delia Brought to the screen in a very compelling and aggressive way, the film Mommy shows the graphic nature of one mother’s dealing with ADHD and now faces a choice no parent should have to make.

February 12th, 2015 Beyond the Marquee This may seem counterintuitive, but as a reviewer, I try to know as little as possible about a new movie going into a screening so that I can be as objective as humanly possible in order to deliver a completely honest review, free from studio spin. This usually works well. But in McFarland, USA, I […]
