Review: THE COMEDIAN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Taylor Hackford’s newest film is a bewildering and sometimes frustrating mess that does have some hilarious moments, but also has some painfully unfunny moments and poor development of its main character.

Spanish Review: A DOG’S PURPOSE
Por Liz López Rating: C – Aunque no tengo mascotas yo, familiares y amistades si los tienen. Los gozo cuando los visito. Tenía anticipación de ver el largometraje, “A Dog’s Purpose”, porque es una cinta anotada como una para familias.
