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? I so looked forward to viewing… Continue reading Review: THE SEAGULL
Review: HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS AT PARTIES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B- “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” seems to have been a long time coming to the theaters after it screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017.

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). This film is an absolutely fantastic ride… Continue reading Review: UPGRADE
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
