Review: PUZZLE

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) While there have been several films where an underappreciated and taken-for-granted housewife finds an escape from her usual rut, this particular film definitely has some strong assets in its stars Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan.  The two talented and charming actors share an enjoyably awkward chemistry… Continue reading Review: PUZZLE

Reviews: THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 1.5 (Out of 4 Stars) From Brian Henson, son of late Muppet creator Jim Henson, comes a movie which attempts to entertain adult audiences with raunch, shock and awe, but ultimately falls flat.

Review: MILE 22

By Laurie Coker Rating: D+ Mark Wahlberg looks great, but his latest film, Mile 22 is little more than action, death, and mayhem held together by a thin transparent string of a story. Peter Berg, the director of Lone Survivor, helms this violent, sometimes intense fiasco. Wahlberg does his thing, but it simply isn’t enough.… Continue reading Review: MILE 22

Review: ALPHA

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) With gorgeous visuals and beautiful and poignant beats, Albert Hughes’s sentimental film, which offers a fictionalized depiction of humanity’s first relationship with dogs, is sure to become a moderate crowd-pleaser.  Though the movie does have its magical moments, it does run a little too long by… Continue reading Review: ALPHA

Review: MILE 22

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Poor writing/character development, messy editing and inexplicable acting choices plague what is sometimes a grtipping and intense action-thriller by director Peter Berg.  Berg, who works with Indonesian actor/stuntman/ fight choreographer Iko Uwais, manages to create and capture some amazing action sequences of visceral violence, but just… Continue reading Review: MILE 22
