Por Liz Lopez Rating: C+ Si le ha gustado las películas “Olympus has Fallen” (2013) y “London has Fallen” (2016), entonces es muy posible que anticipe ver la tercera en esta instalación de películas de acción, aun ser un poco predecible el guion y los personajes. El director, Ric Roman Waugh escribió el guion en… Continue reading Critica De Cine: ANGEL HAS FALLEN

Review: ANGEL HAS FALLEN

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) If anyone had asked me six years ago that I will enjoy the two sequels to Olympus Has Fallen, I would have thought them insane. Even though the films in this franchise franchise often have dumb and silly elements, they do have likable characters, incendiary action… Continue reading Review: ANGEL HAS FALLEN

Review: ONE CHILD NATION

Por Liz Lopez Rating: B– “Good Boys” es todo lo contrario del titulo, pero no se le quita, hay momentos en algunas escenas que son lo suficiente para caerse de riza al ver las aventuras de tres companeros pre-adolescentes. Ya se que hay personas que no desean ver esta cinta por el comportamiento grosero de… Continue reading Critica de cine: GOOD BOYS

Review: GOOD BOYS

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Superbad now has a spiritual prequel and that movie is Good Boys. It is certainly fitting that this raunchy tween comedy comes from producers Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, three comedic talents responsible for Superbad. And yes, this movie deserves its R-rating. So for… Continue reading Review: GOOD BOYS
