Logan’s Last Bloody Stand

March 17, 2017 Ciro Salcedo Movie Review, Movies, Marvel

As trailers for Logan started premiering all across the internet, people have universally compared it to The Last of Us, Naughty Dog’s critically lauded game from back in 2013. The comparison is simple. A bearded, grizzled man treks a desolate future with a task to escort a young girl… Read the rest at our website.

Fist Fight Packs A Punch

February 24, 2017 Hector Gonzalez 0 Comments Movie Review, Movies

Directed by Richie Keen, Fist Fight transports me back to 1987, when a similar flick called Three O’Clock High (Casey Siemaszko, Richard Tyson) was released and the classical bully versus nerd fight ensued at the end of the school day. The big difference is that Andy Campbell (Charlie Day)… Read the rest at our website.

Wayne’s World Is Still “Excellent” After 25 Years

February 10, 2017 Ciro Salcedo Comedy, Movie Review, Movies

I’m a film geek. My world shines through celluloid strips of film as I study the editing and Goodfellas or consistently go back and examine that lobster scene in Annie Hall. Despite my love for dramas about criminal empires or Jewish writers falling in love, comedy has been such… Read the rest at our website.

Split Is No Cinematic Masterpiece But Still A Fun Thriller

January 27, 2017 Alexander Aspuru 0 Comments Movie Review, Movies, Thriller

Split’s horror lies in the familiar. It targets the dark tides that lurk behind the mundane, the mad-workings of men who walk among us, hiding demons in their psyche. Director M. Knight Shyamalan explores this part of the mind, shining a light on its existence and demonstrating what happens… Read the rest at our website.

The Force Is Pleased With This Story

January 17, 2017 Ciro Salcedo Movie Review, Movies, Star Wars

Before I start, let’s forget the notion of Star Wars being nothing more than a popcorn series. Something to fill theaters during the summer months. It’s a phenomenon. Something so grand and so much bigger than anything else, that words simply cannot describe. Overdramatic? Yes, just a bit. But… Read the rest at our website.

“Allied” Is A Romance Disguised As A War Movie

December 5, 2016 Hector Gonzalez Movie, Movie Review, Romance

Watching Allied was like watching a Hallmark card with drama and war tanks in the surrounding area. I don’t even think I’ve ever seen Brad Pitt fighting in a war movie not involving Nazi soldiers, to be frank. I also don’t recall when was the last time I’ve seen… Read the rest at our website.

Rules Truly Don’t Apply To This Flop Of A Film

December 5, 2016 Alexander Aspuru Movie, Movie Review, Romantic Comedy

Directed, co-produced, and written by 60s star Warren Beatty, Rules Don’t Apply has been in development for 40 years, making its $600,000 box office (compared to a $25 million budget) disappointing. Like its box office performance, the movie is also a flop, bumbling from start to finish with malformed… Read the rest at our website.

Moonlight Illuminates Film World

November 4, 2016 Ciro Salcedo Movie, Movie Review, Moonlight

“Who is you, man?” These are the first words in Moonlight, a different coming of age film in America’s long history of films like Stand By Me and Boyhood. Gone are the days where upper middle class white kids traverse through narratives of growing up, heartbreak and friendship. Moonlight… Read the rest at our website.

2001: A Space Odyssey, Putting A Sci-Fi Twist On Halloween

October 18, 2016 Hector Gonzalez Movie, Movie Review, Sci-Fi, Halloween

If you’re looking for something a little different to satiate your horror-seeking bug this Halloween, it’s Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. You won’t find much gore or gruesome scenes like other classic horror films, but if you’re patient, or simply a fan of Kubrick’s previous work like The… Read the rest at our website.
