Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a Stellar Sequel

January 12, 2018 Ciro Salcedo Movie Review, Movies, Film

As cliche as it is to talk about the preceding film before its sequel, I feel it is necessary. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was easily one of the single greatest experiences I had in a theater (right next to Mad Max: Fury Road and The Nice Guys) and… Read the rest at our website.

All The Money In The World Can’t Save A Hollow Film

January 12, 2018 Corbin Bolies Film, Movie Review, Movies

Well, Ridley Scott did it. After a tumultuous two months that led All The Money in the World’s original star, Kevin Spacey, to be edited out and recast with Christopher Plummer, Scott has managed to deliver a film that is coherent, which is an achievement under the circumstances. Whether… Read the rest at our website.

The Disaster Artist Is A Funny Look At A Beautiful Mess

December 8, 2017 Dante Nahai Movie Review

In the history of bad movies, no film is ever mentioned as much as the critically derided, The Room, released in 2003 by director Tommy Wiseau. The movie is often called “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.” Fourteen years later, James Franco decided to tackle the making of the… Read the rest at our website.

My Friend Dahmer Shines A Light On The Late Killer

November 10, 2017 Ciro Salcedo Movies, Thriller, Drama, Movie Review

Jeffrey Dahmer is a name every American knew in 1991. At 31, Dahmer had murdered, raped and dismembered 17 men and boys. Of course, he was not the definition of a sane man, but every monster has its origin. Writer/director Marc Meyers explores that origin in My Friend Dahmer.… Read the rest at our website.

Ragnarok Finds Humor Among The Action

November 10, 2017 Corbin Bolies Movie, Movie Review, Marvel

Thor: Ragnarok is more of a comedy film than a superhero one. Director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, Hunt for the Wilderpeople) raises the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Cate Blanchett to their comedic peaks, providing for a mostly charming, subversive addition to the… Read the rest at our website.

A Great Cast Makes Daddy’s Home 2 A Good Time

November 10, 2017 Giovanni Del Fa Movie, Movie Review, Comedy

At a time when it seemed like the majority of comedies had lost both value and meaning, 2015’s Daddy’s Home introduced audiences to a different kind of story. It was the tale of a gruff father who is no longer in the picture. Dusty Mayron (Mark Wahlberg) competing with… Read the rest at our website.

Blade Runner 2049 Is A Modern Masterpiece

October 27, 2017 Ciro Salcedo Movie Review

The original Blade Runner was somewhat of an anomaly when it was released back in 1982. Ridley Scott’s adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was underappreciated at first, taking its time to build a massive cult following. That film is a science fiction masterpiece.… Read the rest at our website.

Edgar Wright Gets A Little Fast And Furious This Summer

August 23, 2017 Ciro Salcedo Movie Review

A couple months back, I praised James Mangold’s Logan as a refreshing comic book movie, moving away from capes and CGI macguffins. Despite having comic book characters, it felt like a more grounded, emotional film. It felt wholly original, despite coming from the panels of a classic Wolverine storyline.… Read the rest at our website.

Alien Covenant Delivers More Groans Than Scares

June 9, 2017 Alexander Aspuru Movie Review, Sci-Fi

During Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, the crew attempts to revive an alien’s 2000-year-old decapitated head. During the process, the alien’s eyes open, sputtering and gurgling up blood. It’s confused and scared. The alien’s head bubbling and twitching. As the crew expects it to say something, the head explodes, leaving the… Read the rest at our website.

Ghost In The Shell Is A Search For Humanity, And Above Average Filmmaking

March 31, 2017 Ciro Salcedo 0 Comments Movie Review, Movies

It is safe to say that my anime knowledge is not up to par with most fans of the genre. I walked into this film blind, not having seen 1995’s Ghost in the Shell or read the manga it was based off of and only knowing few plot threads… Read the rest at our website.
