By Liz López Rating: C+ El largometraje, Keanu, tuvo un estreno durante el Festival de cine SXSW el mes pasado. Fue uno de esas películas que nos invitaron para verla a media noche, como si fuera algo muy única y la próxima en ser un gran espectáculo.

Spanish Review: SING STREET
Por Liz López Rating: A No todas las cintas con el tema de un joven adolescente llegando a la mayoría de edad son divertidos, tal vez por el guion que a veces puede ser un poco cansado, o en raras ocasiones, que el actor no convenció el audiencia sobre la vida que está pasando.

On Saturday, March 12 at midnight, Keegan Michael Key… Continue reading SXSW Film 2016 Review: KEANU
Review: MOTHER’S DAY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Movie plots do not get any more predictable than this. Director Garry Marshall’s latest holiday film is more or less the same as his previous ones.

Review: SING STREET
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) In this day and age of cynicism, I often find it refreshing when a much needed breath of cinematic optimism comes along and is handsomely executed. Writer/director John Carney is one of those filmmakers who doesn’t seem completely jaded by the world and is a welcome… Continue reading Review: SING STREET
Review: COMPADRES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B On April 22nd, the bilingual feature film, Compadres, had a theatrical release in the United States and when it opened in Austin, it was not screened for all film critics.

SXSW Film 2016 Review: GREEN ROOM
By Liz Lopez Rating: A Writer-director Jeremy Saulnier’s third feature Green Room debuted at The Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes (2015) and subsequently, many of us who attended the 2015 Fantastic Fest here in Austin were also able to view this crime, horror thriller starring Patrick Stewart in any character you have seen in the recent… Continue reading SXSW Film 2016 Review: GREEN ROOM
