Cine Las Americas 20 Review: DE CHICA EN CHICA

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) On Friday night of the festival, I enjoyed this zany LGBT comedy from Spain.  De Chica en Chica (Girl Gets Girl) follows the comic misadventures of Inés (Celia Freijeiro), a lesbian philanderer who has burned too many bridges in Miami, Florida.  She decides to escape the wrath… Continue reading Cine Las Americas 20 Review: DE CHICA EN CHICA

Review: SNATCHED

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn team up for a risque’ action-comedy and even though the results are amusing, they fall considerably short of extraordinary.  Written by Katie Dippold (The Heat, 2016 version of Ghostbusters) and directed by Jonathan Levine (50/50, The Night Before), Snatched matches Schumer’s brand of… Continue reading Review: SNATCHED

Review: RISK

By Liz Lopez Rating: B- Academy Award-winning director Laura Poitras (‘Citizenfour’) has had incredible access to WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, who has been under political asylum at London’s Ecuadorian embassy for several years. The documentary she directed and produced, “Risk”, arrives in United States theaters after the 2016 Cannes Film Festival (Directors’ Fortnight). Filmed over… Continue reading Review: RISK
