Review: THE VATICAN TAPES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B- When I first viewed Pantelion Films’ trailer for The Vatican Tapes earlier this year, it did intrigue me as I learned Michael Peña (Ant – Man, Cesar Chavez, American Hustle, End of Watch), portrays Father Lozano, the local priest in the community where 27-year-old Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley –… Continue reading Review: THE VATICAN TAPES
Review: SOUTHPAW
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Southpaw has everything one would expect from a boxing movie and that’s pretty much it. That is not to say that director Antone Fuqua and writer Kurt Sutter have made a bad movie, but if one has seen all of the Rocky movies, Raging Bull, and… Continue reading Review: SOUTHPAW
Review: PIXELS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) My fondness for some of Adam Sandler’s earlier movies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer) and my love for classic video games fueled whatever hope I had going into this film.

Review: MR. HOLMES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B Ian McKellen is a very talented actor that I have enjoyed viewing and most recently at the end of last year as Gandalf in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and most certainly all the previous Hobbit films leading up to it. It is a real treat to… Continue reading Review: MR. HOLMES
Review: ANT-MAN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) With what could be considered Marvel’s silliest sounding title, this particular adaptation struck me as an even bigger risk than the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. However, when I first heard that Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish were spearheading this Marvel property, I knew, or at… Continue reading Review: ANT-MAN

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Director Judd Apatow tackled bro-mance and romance in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, unexpected offspring in Knocked Up, and marital woes in This is 40. Apatow’s newest comedy marks a return to romantic comedy, and as with most rom-coms, this one is told from a woman’s perspective. Only… Continue reading Review: TRAINWRECK
