Review: JERSEY BOYS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Feeling more like a standard music artists’ biopic and less like a musical, Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of the Tony Award winning and critically acclaimed Broadway musical seems to lack a vibrancy and energy that I expected. I have never actually seen a stage production of Jersey… Continue reading Review: JERSEY BOYS
Review: THINK LIKE A MAN TOO
By Mark Saldana Rating: 1.5 (Out of 4 Stars) With the first film, I remember liking the way screenwriters Kerry Merryman and David A. Newman incorporated elements of Steve Harvey’s book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, into an otherwise cliché and formulaic romantic comedy. At least that film had that quality going… Continue reading Review: THINK LIKE A MAN TOO
Review: OBVIOUS CHILD
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) I have to say that this is one of the more difficult reviews I have written, and perhaps have yet to write. The controversial subject matter of the film, along with my personal beliefs on said material must be set aside to objectively critique the film. … Continue reading Review: OBVIOUS CHILD

This is a question I pondered after leaving William Eubank’s film The Signal. I have my screening guest to thank for making me take this subject under consideration. As… Continue reading Review: THE SIGNAL
Review: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Every summer movie season has its expected share of sequels. So far, Amazing Spider-Man 2 wasn’t so amazing, while X-Men: Days of Future Past revitalized a long running franchise that has had its share of ups and downs. In 2010, DreamWorks Animation started a potentially successful… Continue reading Review: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2
Review: 22 JUMP STREET
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) 22 Jump Street is one of two very different sequels ( the other being How to Train Your Dragon 2) opening this week. Still, these two follow-ups do have something in common with each other. They are both well done second installments that more than satisfy, but don’t outshine their predecessors. Directors Phil… Continue reading Review: 22 JUMP STREET
