By Liz Lopez Rating: C Charles M. Schulz’ comic strip that began with one name in the late 1940s, and was renamed Peanuts by the time of its debut in 1950, went on to become the most-syndicated strip in history. It went on to be read by many over the course of many decades until… Continue reading Review: THE PEANUTS MOVIE

Spanish Review: BURNT
Por Liz López Rating: B- ¿Quién entre nosotros puede identificarse con alguien que está demasiado cansado con su vida, incluso la cual incluye su profesión y sus relaciones con otros seres queridos o humanos en general? Ese número de personas depende de que tan feliz y satisfechos están con lo que han logrado, y son… Continue reading Spanish Review: BURNT
Review: OUR BRAND IS CRISIS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) After returning to his indie roots with Prince Avalanche, Joe, and Manglehorn, director David Gordon Green has made another Hollywood comedy. This time, however, Green tackles a political satire rather than some of his more juvenile wacky comedies (Pineapple Express, Your Highness). Loosely based on the… Continue reading Review: OUR BRAND IS CRISIS
Review: BURNT
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Welcome to Hell’s Kitchen, Hollywood style. Well, Bradley Cooper isn’t exactly portraying the infamous Gordon Ramsay in Burnt, but he may as well be. Writers Steven Knight, Michael Kalesniko, director John Wells and actor Bradley Cooper obviously drew some inspiration from the fiery tempered chef, which… Continue reading Review: BURNT

Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) This week I caught up on all of the previous Paranormal Activity movies I had previously missed. When I reviewed the last film titled The Marked Ones, I had only seen the very first film of the series. The Ghost Dimension is the sixth and supposedly… Continue reading Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION
Review: JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) When the Jem animated series first aired in 1985, I was twelve years-old and only into Transformers and G.I. Joe cartoons. Every time this gaudy and girlish cartoon would air I couldn’t change the channel fast enough. It just wasn’t cool for a pre-teen boy to… Continue reading Review: JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS
Review: THE LAST WITCH HUNTER
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Despite its interesting premise and the badassery of Vin Diesel, this action/horror movie has so very little to offer. With dull, uninspired writing, The Last Witch Hunter may not be the worst film I have seen this year so far, but it might just be the… Continue reading Review: THE LAST WITCH HUNTER
