The one film which seriously blew me away came from writer/director Trey Edward Shults. Shults originally caught… Continue reading Austin Film Festival 2019 Review: WAVES

Review: HONEY BOY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) To anyone who has wondered what the deal is with Shia LeBeouf, the actor who has written this rather personal statement of who he is and why he’s had his share of personal turmoil. I suppose it has become easy to dismiss the actor as just… Continue reading Review: HONEY BOY
Review: FROZEN II
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf return in a new adventure that amuses and entertains, but lacks a solid story as its foundation. It is a simple case of sequelitis that keeps this new installment from achieving the same heights of greatness and passion, but it is… Continue reading Review: FROZEN II
Review: 21 BRIDGES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Television director Brian Kirk makes his cinematic debut with a movie that shows much talent behind its tense beats and action sequences, but is held back by a thin story and lackluster character development. 21 Bridges, with all of its talent in front of its lenses,… Continue reading Review: 21 BRIDGES

Critica De Cine: CHARLIE’S ANGELS
Por Liz Lopez Rating B- Vi los “Ángeles de Charlie” originales y fue un programa favorito para mí en el pasado, así que saber que se iba a hacer un reinicio me puso un poco aprensivo de lo que estaba por venir. Elizabeth Banks tiene la tarea de escritora, directora, productora y coprotagonista, y estoy… Continue reading Critica De Cine: CHARLIE’S ANGELS
