Review: FANTASTIC FOUR
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) I’m not quite sure what it is about the Fantastic Four that seems to confuse filmmakers. The comics are pretty straightforward, but it seems that with every attempt to make it more modern and inventive, the movies get screwed up in the process. The last two… Continue reading Review: FANTASTIC FOUR
Review: DARK PLACES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) I was rather disappointed to get the news that this satisfactory mystery drama would not be getting a theatrical release because I feel the theater experience really adds to the mood of this dark and compelling movie. Now available on DirecTV VOD though, Dark Places is… Continue reading Review: DARK PLACES
Review: THE GIFT
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) The Gift is definitely a treat for movie audiences craving a good, old fashioned, Hitchcockesque psychological thriller. Written, directed by and starring Joel Edgerton, who makes his directorial debut here, this edgy, nail-biter of a flick oozes with creepiness, builds up tension and suspense to where… Continue reading Review: THE GIFT

Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION
By Laurie Coker Rating: B- Fifty something or not, Tom Cruise still has it and he flaunts it in the new Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. While limited in plot Rogue Nation is an action packed thrill ride, director Christopher McQuarrie misses no opportunity to impress with high-speed chases, stunning stunts and witty dialogue. Rounding out… Continue reading Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION
Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Tom Cruise and the filmmakers behind the Mission: Impossible movie franchise deserve high praise for keeping this series alive, well, and invigorating. Much like the Fast and Furious franchise, the studio, producers, and various talented directors have managed to keep the material fresh and exciting through… Continue reading Review: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION

For film buffs living under a rock, or regular folk unaware of this movie extravaganza, Fantastic Fest is Austin’s yearly genre film festival hosted by the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. It is world renown as the largest… Continue reading Local Events: The 11th Annual FANTASTIC FEST
