Review: HOTEL ARTEMIS

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Screenwriter Drew Pearce makes his directorial debut with a film that can boast decent world building, a gorgeously dank art design, amusing comedy, and bludgeoning violence.  Pearce has made a taut thriller that looks great and entertains, but is somewhat lacking in character development.   All-in-all, Pearce… Continue reading Review: HOTEL ARTEMIS

Review: HEREDITARY

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Writer/director Ari Aster has made one hell of a devilish feature film debut with this horror near-masterpiece.  I know some critics have already hailed the movie as a bona fide masterwork, but I feel that the new director shows some moderate weakness in how he handles… Continue reading Review: HEREDITARY

Review: THE SEAGULL

Question about Another Remake of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull”   By Liz Lopez Rating: C Why? This is my question – why does someone think that a Russian play, written in 1895 and first performed a year later, should be adapted into an English language film for today’s audiences?

Review: UPGRADE

By Renee’ C. Rating: 5 (Out of 5 Reels) Set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when Grey (Logan Marshall-Green), a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem (IMDB).

Review: THE SEAGULL

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Based on the acclaimed play by Anton Chekhov, this film features a spectacular cast whose talents are unfortunately wasted on a frustratingly dull adaptation.  Though I have not previously read the source material, I feel that better screenwriters and directors could have done much more than… Continue reading Review: THE SEAGULL
