By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Though it never tops the intelligent, witty, and zany western comedy classic Blazing Saddles, A Million Ways to Die in the West does offer a decent share of funny comedic moments of the raunchy variety. I emphasize raunchy, simply because I know some movie goers despise… Continue reading Review: A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST

Review: MALEFICENT
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” That is unless you’re Maleficent, or at least the version of the wicked fairy portrayed in this Disney update of the same name. To appeal to modern audiences, Disney producers have decided to take a clearly evil and… Continue reading Review: MALEFICENT

That is exactly what Bryan Singer and his writers do with what I consider… Continue reading Review: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
Review: BELLE
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Movies and stories about slavery and racism really sting my heart, especially those that depict violence and atrocities against people because of racial prejudice. Based on a true story, Belle tells the story of a young mixed-race British lady raised by her late father’s wealthy family, but gets… Continue reading Review: BELLE
Review: BLENDED
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) There must be something about Drew Barrymore that brings out the best in Adam Sandler.

Barrymore and… Continue reading Review: BLENDED
