2013 SXSW Review: A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF WAYNE’S PHONE
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Well, at least the title is truthful. This documentary feature literally consists of video clips taken from the iPhone of Wayne Coyne, lead singer and guitarist of The Flaming Lips. These clips really have little rhyme or reason to them, other than that they are glimpses… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF WAYNE’S PHONE
2013 SXSW Review: GROW UP, TONY PHILLIPS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Austin’s filmmaking wunderkind, Emily Hagins (My Sucky Teen Romance) has definitely matured as a writer/director and her latest work, a delightful and heartfelt teen comedy is a clear indicator of this maturity. This year at SXSW Film, not only were Austin filmmakers well represented, so was… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: GROW UP, TONY PHILLIPS
2013 SXSW Review: BIG ASS SPIDER
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Mike “Madman” Mendez’s ode to monster movies is an absolute entertainment blast that had me grinning from ear to ear throughout most of the screening and laughing quite often. If anything, my only criticism would be that not all of the jokes win, some of them… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: BIG ASS SPIDER

2013 SXSW Review: MALADIES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) This film really won my heart because of the genuine attempt to realistically portray people with mental illnesses and those suffering from oppression due to these illnesses and other non-traditional behavior. Taking place during the 1960s, Maladies tells a fictional story of a small group of… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: MALADIES
Review: ADMISSION
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Based on the novel by Jean Hanff Koelitz, screenwriter Karen Croner’s film adaptation is a bit messy. Directed by Paul Weitz, the film pushes for a more comedic angle than the novel that inspired it. The mix of drama and comedy works okay, but a romantic… Continue reading Review: ADMISSION
2013 SXSW Review: SPRING BREAKERS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Given Harmony Korine’s reputation for making dark and often bizarre films, I really didn’t know what to expect from his latest entry. Considering that former Disney actresses were cast in lead roles made any kind of real expectations nearly impossible. Now as for audiences unfamiliar with… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: SPRING BREAKERS
Review: OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) This movie really does not feel like an Antoine Fuqua picture. I would expect something of this caliber from directors like Roland Emmerich or Michael Bay. Although not all of his films are winners, Fuqua has made some solid, gritty crime films such as Training Day… Continue reading Review: OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN
