Beyond the Marquee

Today, The Walt Disney Studios announced Big Hero 6, an all-new action comedy adventure from Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film, directed by animation veteran Don Hall (Winnie The Pooh) and produced by Kristina Reed (Paperman), will open in U.S. theaters in 3D on November 7, 2014. Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, the CG-animated Big Hero 6 centers on a brilliant robotics prodigy, Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city. With recent company layoffs in the Animation divisions of Disney, there have been fears we may not see anything from that group for some time to come, but today’s announcement of Big Hero 6 has seemed to squash those rumors thankfully, for now.

In the House, a Cold and Calculating Mystery (Film Review)

John Delia

Getting a strong grasp on his characters and developing an edgy mystery, Francois Ozon pulls off a fine tale that cringes while it titillates. This fresh take on a different kind of predator puts In the House on a must list for those who like the unusual. Well acted and directed this movie import really entertains those who like sharp edged films that are quite unpredictable.

Great Gatsby, a Pop-up Book with Cardboard Characters (Film Review)

May 9th, 2013

John Delia

Director Baz Luhrmann, who lost with Moulin Rouge and lost again with Australia, takes a chance with an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatsby turning it into a pop-up book for the screen. While the CGI and sets do sparkle, he turns the storyline into a simple predictive tome set in an era of flappers and illegal booze. Luhrmann gets caught up inside of Fitzgerald’s bittersweet romance while undervaluing the class struggle between the newly rich and the underclass.

JACK REACHER Explodes onto Blu-ray! (Review)

May 7th, 2013

Ethan Reynolds

Now Available on Blu-ray from Paramount!

Tom Cruise, no matter how good or mediocre the film is, always delivers, and Jack Reacher, now available on Blu-ray and DVD from Paramount Home Video, is no exception!

I saw this flick in theatres when it opened earlier this year and was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. The story, cinematography, direction, all of Jack Reacher’s adventure reminded me of a good 1980’s action thriller…which I love and ate up like candy…now lets see how well it did on Blu-ray!
