Review: THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Considering that I liked (not loved) the first installment of this animated franchise, I actually approached this film with hopeful anticipation. My biggest gripe with the first movie is that it is basically a rip off of Toy Story, but applied to dogs, cats and other… Continue reading Review: THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2
Review: DARK PHOENIX
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) After nineteen years and twelve feature films, Fox’s X-Men movie franchise has reached the end. Though not all of the movies have been winners, 2000’s franchise opener, X-Men, deserves much credit for launching a successful new era for Marvel Comics film adaptations. Without X-Men, audiences might… Continue reading Review: DARK PHOENIX
Review: AVENGERS: END GAME
By Laurie Coker Rating: A Even the tiniest towns in the most rural areas waited to pack theaters for opening night and weekend of Avengers: End Game.

Review: MA
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Not too long after another psychological thriller hit theaters (The Intruder) another one arrives at the ready to take its place.

By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) From director Kenneth Branagh, an obvious fan of Shakespeare and his works, comes this fictionalized take on “The Bard’s” retirement and the aftermath of a life dedicated to one’s passionate career. Though poignant and interesting at times, the film often meanders and waxes a bit too… Continue reading Review: ALL IS TRUE

By Liz Lopez Rating: B Sometimes you can see a trailer for a comedy film with teens facing the usual coming of age challenges that we have already seen in past popular films and decide to pass on seeing it. Although, it might sound slightly predictable, the four screenwriters, Susanna Fogel (“The Spy Who Dumped… Continue reading Review: SXSW Premiere of Olivia Wilde’s “Booksmart” hits Theaters for End of School Fun

Rating: 4.5 (Out of 5 Reels) A kindhearted street urchin, Aladdin (Mena Massoud) and a power-hungry Grand Vizier (Marwan Zenzari) vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true (IMDB).

Review: BRIGHTBURN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) From producer James Gunn, comes this wicked and sometimes shocking serving of subversion which offers an evil flipside to the Superman mythos. Presented as a nightmarish horror flick, Brightburn examines what happens when great power gets paired with no responsibility and a sociopathic mind. I wasn’t… Continue reading Review: BRIGHTBURN
