Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a Stellar Sequel

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

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 Movie Review, Movies, Film

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.

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

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.

Unoriginality And Repetitiveness In Hollywood

August 22, 2017 Allessandra Inzinna Movies, Hollywood

Once in a while, the box office will display a movie unlike any other…emphasis on once in a while. A lot of popular movies portray basically the same plot with different variations. In superhero movies, romantic comedies, sci-fi movies and more, the plots seem to blur together. If someone… 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.
