Frozen obtuvo una variedad de premios y nominaciones, y aunque Frozen 2 es muy entretenido, es difícil predecir si este tendrá el… Continue reading Critica De Cine: FROZEN II

Review: A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) Last year’s documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? opened up my eyes, heart, and mind to realize what a truly extraordinary human Fred Rogers was. As a child, I grew up occasionally watching Mr. Rogers, not truly appreciating his unusual approach to children’s television or the… Continue reading Review: A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Austin Film Festival 2019 Review: WAVES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) As usual, this year’s Austin Film Festival featured an exciting lineup of movies, but definitely offered some great headliners which may be considered for accolades at the year’s end. The one film which seriously blew me away came from writer/director Trey Edward Shults. Shults originally caught… Continue reading Austin Film Festival 2019 Review: WAVES
Review: HONEY BOY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) To anyone who has wondered what the deal is with Shia LeBeouf, the actor who has written this rather personal statement of who he is and why he’s had his share of personal turmoil. I suppose it has become easy to dismiss the actor as just… Continue reading Review: HONEY BOY
Review: FROZEN II
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf return in a new adventure that amuses and entertains, but lacks a solid story as its foundation. It is a simple case of sequelitis that keeps this new installment from achieving the same heights of greatness and passion, but it is… Continue reading Review: FROZEN II
Review: 21 BRIDGES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Television director Brian Kirk makes his cinematic debut with a movie that shows much talent behind its tense beats and action sequences, but is held back by a thin story and lackluster character development. 21 Bridges, with all of its talent in front of its lenses,… Continue reading Review: 21 BRIDGES

Critica De Cine: THE REPORT
Por Liz Lopez Rating: B+ Es muy interesante cómo la gente puede sentarse aquí en los Estados Unidos y señalar con el dedo a otros países y decir cuánta “corrupción” y avaricia hay, sin admitir que nuestro propio gobierno haya hecho nada malo. Salio del Festival de Cine de Sundance al principio del año y… Continue reading Critica De Cine: THE REPORT
Review: BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON
By Laurie Coker Rating: B From the trailers, the debut from the writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo, Brittany Runs and Marathon looks like a goofy, body-shaming film in line with those by Amy Schumer, but it is far more. Colaizzo gives a little film with a big heart and Jillian Bell serves up a subtly touching… Continue reading Review: BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON
