“TRUE STORY” (Film Review & Trailer)
April 17th, 2015 John Delia The acting saves the slow moving crime drama True Story from being a dragged out snoozer. Based on a factual account of a murder and the discrediting of a rising star reporter at the New York Times, the film stretches the story making True Story lukewarm at best. While the movie has a disturbing plot involving a heinous […]

“GET HARD” (Film Review & Trailer)
March 27th, 2015 John Delia Wacky, Madcap and insane, but what else would you expect when Will Farrell and Kevin Hart team up for a movie. The two outlandish comedians put Get Hard over the top in this irreverent comedy that should keep audiences laughing way after they leave the theater. That is unless you are easily offended by […]

March 27th, 2015 Steven D'Arcangelo After devoting a double-length critique to Agent Carter‘s final episode (hopefully final only for now), I’ll now go the opposite direction by devoting one critique to four — count ‘em, FOUR! — full episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Consider it my attempt to break the world record for number of shows recounted in a single […]
“IT FOLLOWS” (Indie Film Review & Trailer)
