By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) I must say that this film is unlike any other film I watched during the festival. Director Van Neistadt’s movie is not really a documentary or narrative film. This is more like an abridged presentation of the work of artist Tom Sachs and his crew that… Continue reading SXSW Film 2015 Review/Interview: A SPACE PROGRAM

SXSW Film 2015 Review: EXCESS FLESH
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Occasionally, films come along which absolutely turn people’s stomachs, make audiences uncomfortable and just leave some feeling miserable.

Films, whether well or poorly made can have these effects on… Continue reading SXSW Film 2015 Review: EXCESS FLESH
Review: HOME
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) This colorful and vibrant looking film will offer young children ninety-four minutes of entertainment and valuable lessons, but this is one movie that will lose its luster after repeated viewings.

SXSW Film 2015 Review: GET HARD
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) On my fourth night of SXSW, this screening began uproariously as director Etan Cohen and stars Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell took the stage of the Paramount Theater to introduce their film.

SXSW Film 2015 Review/Interview: DANNY SAYS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) As far as rock documentaries go, this particular film is not presented in a particularly unique way. It is the subject of this film who is totally unique and quite remarkable. Danny Fields became a regular fixture in the sixties rock scene, hanging with The Velvet… Continue reading SXSW Film 2015 Review/Interview: DANNY SAYS
SXSW FILM 2015 Review/Interview: THE LAST MAN ON THE MOON
By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) I started my SXSW film festival with a documentary which appeals to my inner child. When I was in elementary school, the idea of space travel truly fascinated me.
