Simplemente es buenísima el nuevo largometraje, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, la quinta en la serie de películas que se inició basada en la historia televisiva de 1966, Mission Impossible. Acción – tiene bastante acción – y eso es un punto muy importante de cada una de las cinco… Continue reading Spanish Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION

Review: JIMMY’S HALL
By Liz Lopez Rating: B+ Immigration, wars, death and poverty are frequent topics found in media outlets and are often hot topics on social media that generate many comments. A younger generation or someone unfamiliar with U. S. or World History may think these are “trending” or “current” topics, but it is far from correct.… Continue reading Review: JIMMY’S HALL

Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION
By Laurie Coker Rating: B- Fifty something or not, Tom Cruise still has it and he flaunts it in the new Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. While limited in plot Rogue Nation is an action packed thrill ride, director Christopher McQuarrie misses no opportunity to impress with high-speed chases, stunning stunts and witty dialogue.

Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Tom Cruise and the filmmakers behind the Mission: Impossible movie franchise deserve high praise for keeping this series alive, well, and invigorating.

Review: VACATION
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) The original National Lampoon’s Vacation is probably one of the first, more adult-oriented comedies I saw on cable TV (though I wasn’t really supposed to be viewing it) and it made quite an impression. I already knew of the comedic talent of Chevy Chase and had… Continue reading Review: VACATION
Review: PAPER TOWNS
By Liz Lopez Rating: B+ John Green is the New York Times bestselling author of four books, including The Fault in Our Stars that was adapted into a film last year. The film with talented cast was successful and well received, and now another of his books, Paper Towns, has been adapted for a film… Continue reading Review: PAPER TOWNS
Review: PIXELS
By Laurie Coker Rating: D+ The kids liked it. That is worth something, even if Pixels, starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James, doesn’t appeal to adults. Its throw back to 80s video gaming held some promise and hope for me, but after a few minutes, I was clock watching and relying on my guests reactions.… Continue reading Review: PIXELS
