“Lucy” A Non-stop Action-thriller (Film Review)

July 24th, 2014

John Delia

Out of nowhere comes Lucy a wild ride of mind over matter from Writer/Director Luc Besson. This cunning thriller opens with excitement and never stops the action to the very end. It’s my idea of a true Sci-Fi thriller that tantalizes your brain with possibilities beyond belief, and then takes you even further with the question, What If?

The film poses the following premise: “The average person uses 10% of their brain capacity. Imagine what you could do with 100%”.

“Boyhood” A Study of Growing Pains (Film Review)

July 24th, 2014

John Delia

Not many or any of the filmmakers that have made films in my lifetime have ever taken a chance on a production that would take 12 years in the making. No, Boyhood is not one of those blockbuster films that takes years of animation, or documentaries that have a lot of structure or even Mother Nature events to hold it back. This film’s a drama about ordinary life that spans 18 years in one family’s natural aging process that, not unlike most of us, faces everyday problems and growing pains.
