Taking special effects and sound to a new level for a 3D film, Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement. The audience for the film in my estimation targets preteen to 20’s male population. That said, the movie is critic proof with its giant size marketing budget and will certainly make a […]

Warm Bodies, Not Your Average Love Story (Film Review)
January 30th, 2013 John Delia A nice job with a Romeo and Juliet theme, Warm Bodies shows what an imaginative writer/director can do with a zombie love story. The slick little romancer creates fun out of terror and sends a lot of subliminal messages. Perfect for teens to twenties, it’s the perfect modern day date movie with both sexes […]

Jack Reacher, an Edgy Mystery Thriller (Film Review)
December 20th, 2012 John Delia Back again in a taught mystery drama, the ever popular Tom Cruise takes on the Lee Child novel “One Shot” in the title role of Jack Reacher.

Red Dawn, Defending Our Homeland (Film Review)
November 26th, 2012 John Delia The strong emerging cast combined with a compelling story makes Red Dawn a strapping box-office contender in the crowed film arena.

Skyfall, 007 at His Best (Film Review)
November 8th, 2012 John Delia One of the best James Bond pictures ever made, Skyfall makes its way into theaters this weekend for what I believe will be a box-office blowout. The action packed thriller starts with a bang and doesn’t disappoint in the finale. For all you 007 addicts it’s time to check it out on the 50th anniversary […]
Cloud Atlas, a Complex Fantasy (Film Review)
October 26th, 2012 John Delia Tedious comes to mind after watching this tale of fantasy that spans six time periods within five centuries played out in nearly 3 hours. Cloud Atlas, although an admirable piece of movie making tends to be so complex that viewers I’m afraid, will just not get it. It’s a brain teaser of sorts, one that […]
