Review: THE COMEDIAN

By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) Taylor Hackford’s newest film is a bewildering and sometimes frustrating mess that does have some hilarious moments, but also has some painfully unfunny moments and poor development of its main character.  Robert De Niro stars as a one-time comic superstar barely hanging on to the remains… Continue reading Review: THE COMEDIAN

Review: THE SPACE BETWEEN US

By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) As far as teen romance movies go, this one, which incorporates a prominent sci fi element, is sweet, often adorable and has a lot of heart.  Now, regarding the science fiction portion of the film, that’s where things get a tad silly, and the melodrama that… Continue reading Review: THE SPACE BETWEEN US

Review: A DOG’S PURPOSE

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) The controversy surrounding this movie does raise questions about both the ethical treatment of animals on movie sets and the sensationalism that often comes with scandalous stories broken by notorious tabloid journalism.  However, I am not here to address either issue within the controversy.  Though I… Continue reading Review: A DOG’S PURPOSE

SELECT

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) The best thing about this latest, “Based on Actual Events,” movie is the earnest and passionate performance Matthew McConaughey gives in it.  The worst thing, however, is the somewhat lackluster way that director Stephen Gaghan presents the story.  Thankfully, Gold isn’t another Scorsese clone like American Hustle,… Continue reading Review: GOLD
