Seeing this at an SXSW screening captured the kind of festival-themed, unpredictable energy that audiences love. Directed by Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, the film plunges viewers straight into chaos and hardly pauses to explain itself. From my point of view, it’s one of those comedies where you either go along for the ride or get left behind, because… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – Pizza Movie

SXSW 2026 – Over Your Dead Body: a fun, energetic mix of action, comedy, and thriller
Over Your Dead Body is one of those films that knows exactly what it is—and embraces it with a grin, fitting the theme that SXSW programmers appeared to promote for this festival – graphic violence and broken people. Directed by Jorma Taccone, the premise is deliciously simple: a dysfunctional couple heads to a remote cabin under the… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – Over Your Dead Body: a fun, energetic mix of action, comedy, and thriller
SXSW 2026 – I Love Boosters: too chaotic to land solidly
With his SXSW 2026 opening night film, Boots Riley’s latest swings big — and I found myself both admiring aspects of it and shaking my head in equal measure. From the beginning, it’s clearly a Boots Riley film: bold, highly stylized, and full of color. The imagery is vivid and creative, almost intoxicating at times,… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – I Love Boosters: too chaotic to land solidly
Reminders of Him – Romantic Drama is Touching Although Somewhat Predictable
The film is directed by Vanessa Caswill with a script based on Colleen Hoover’s 2022 novel. If someone has already read the novel, they will already know the story. Others who have not yet read the novel can enjoy the story/script of motherhood, forgiveness, and second chances, even if they are not already parents. The… Continue reading Reminders of Him – Romantic Drama is Touching Although Somewhat Predictable
Critica de cine: Undertone: Gran sonido, pero el guion es ligeramente decepcionante
Cuando vi el tráiler de esta película y leí la sinopsis, había anticipado algo que cumpliría con la descripción de “pesadilla”. No sentí eso durante la película y me sorprendió por el sonido, pero la historia, el guion y/o la edición de alguna manera no me llevaron a una experiencia cinematográfica satisfactoria. Desafortunadamente, siento que… Continue reading Critica de cine: Undertone: Gran sonido, pero el guion es ligeramente decepcionante

Film Review: Undertone
Sonic Highs and Narrative Lows ***Note: This review contains spoilers.*** Undertone attempts to carve out a niche in the “analog horror” subgenre, relying heavily on the psychological weight of what is heard rather than what is seen. Starring Isabella Wright as the isolated protagonist, the film leans on her ability to convey mounting hysteria while… Continue reading Film Review: Undertone
Hoppers – Great Story, Voice Cast, and Animation Make this a HIT
What a pleasure it is to say Pixar’s entertaining new movie, Hoppers, is so much fun to watch. I went to watch the film on my own dime, not as an advance screening, and found it to be great to watch in the theater. The themes and the humor are worth the price of admission.… Continue reading Hoppers – Great Story, Voice Cast, and Animation Make this a HIT

Desde entonces, Frankenstein ha sido abordado a través de películas, televisión y teatro. De esta misma novela surgió el personaje The Bride of Frankenstein, el título de una película de 1935. La… Continue reading Crítica de cine: The Bride! – Monstruos, sí y muchos sentimientos entre los personajes
