Review: JUPITER ASCENDING
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Though this movie has some cool conceptual ideas for a universe, the plot and its characters feel all too familiar and embrace the typical tropes of swashbuckling space operas. Jupiter Ascending has the damsel in distress, the roguish warrior protecting her, and the greedy and power… Continue reading Review: JUPITER ASCENDING
Review: SEVENTH SON
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) This week I watched two films which attempt to offer audiences fun and exciting popcorn entertainment. While both lack depth and feature character cliches, Seventh Son actually works as a whole.

As for the… Continue reading Review: BLACK OR WHITE

Review: A MOST VIOLENT YEAR
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Written and directed by J.C. Chandor, this slow simmering period piece had me engaged and engrossed for almost all of the film’s run time. Then, in the last act of the story, it takes a serious “WTF?” moment that pretty much negates all of the drama… Continue reading Review: A MOST VIOLENT YEAR
