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. The film may be on the long side, but could not have been as heartfelt and explicit had it been […]

No Comments »MARQUEE MAMA Reviews ‘McFARLAND, USA’
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 […]
MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER: Time and Tide (television mini-series critique)
February 9th, 2015 Steven D'Arcangelo My previous reviews of Agent Carter have praised Hayley Atwell’s performance as Carter and she deserves it, but so too do her fellow thespians. I’ll get to Dominic Cooper and James D’Arcy in future critiques. Up first though is Peggy’s quartet of male co-workers at the Strategic Scientific Reserve. (S.S.R.)
“TIMBUKTU” (Foreign Film Review & Trailer)
February 7th, 2015 John Delia The movie opens with a young gazelle running in the sand dunes of Timbuktu. Chasing the beautiful docile animal in a pickup truck are members of the Jihadists shooting their rifles in its direction. “Do not shoot the animal, we just want to tire it out” says their leader. It’s an act of domination […]
“SEVENTH SON” (Film Review)
February 5th, 2015 John Delia Taking many pages from previous films, the movie Seventh Son puts together a daemon slayer story that entertains. The motion picture plays well from tweens to gamers in their mid-twenties bringing a lot of action filled adventure for a Saturday matinee. Think The Sorcerer’s Apprentice with a sharper edge, but if you saw that film you may want […]
