Por Liz López Rating: A Los directores Anthony Russo y Joe Russo (“Arrested Development,” Captain America: The Winter Soldier), regresan este año con el muy anticipado largometraje, Captain America: Civil War. Llega al salon de cine con el grande acción y aventura de la cual los espectadores están impuestos (y contiene bastante), pero los guionistas… Continue reading Spanish Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

Review: THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Racial prejudice in and of itself holds back the progress of humanity on so many levels. It is an intrinsically human failure that has troubled the world throughout our history. It has been particularly tragic when prejudice obstructs the work of some of our most brilliant… Continue reading Review: THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY
Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which began in 2008 with Iron Man has reached its thirteenth film with Captain America: Civil War. All numerical superstitions aside, thirteen happens to be much more than a charm for the MCU.

On Saturday, March 12 at midnight, Keegan Michael Key… Continue reading SXSW Film 2016 Review: KEANU
Review: MOTHER’S DAY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Movie plots do not get any more predictable than this. Director Garry Marshall’s latest holiday film is more or less the same as his previous ones. People have real-life problems. Things get a bit stressful, with both comedic and dramatic results. People argue and fight, with… Continue reading Review: MOTHER’S DAY
Review: SING STREET
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) In this day and age of cynicism, I often find it refreshing when a much needed breath of cinematic optimism comes along and is handsomely executed. Writer/director John Carney is one of those filmmakers who doesn’t seem completely jaded by the world and is a welcome… Continue reading Review: SING STREET
Review: COMPADRES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B On April 22nd, the bilingual feature film, Compadres, had a theatrical release in the United States and when it opened in Austin, it was not screened for all film critics. Pantelion Films may have allowed one critic to screen it for only one outlet locally, as far as I can… Continue reading Review: COMPADRES
