Review: VACATION
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) The original National Lampoon’s Vacation is probably one of the first, more adult-oriented comedies I saw on cable TV (though I wasn’t really supposed to be viewing it) and it made quite an impression. I already knew of the comedic talent of Chevy Chase and had… Continue reading Review: VACATION
Review: PAPER TOWNS
By Liz Lopez Rating: B+ John Green is the New York Times bestselling author of four books, including The Fault in Our Stars that was adapted into a film last year. The film with talented cast was successful and well received, and now another of his books, Paper Towns, has been adapted for a film… Continue reading Review: PAPER TOWNS
Review: PIXELS
By Laurie Coker Rating: D+ The kids liked it. That is worth something, even if Pixels, starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James, doesn’t appeal to adults. Its throw back to 80s video gaming held some promise and hope for me, but after a few minutes, I was clock watching and relying on my guests reactions.… Continue reading Review: PIXELS

Review: THE VATICAN TAPES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B- When I first viewed Pantelion Films’ trailer for The Vatican Tapes earlier this year, it did intrigue me as I learned Michael Peña (Ant – Man, Cesar Chavez, American Hustle, End of Watch), portrays Father Lozano, the local priest in the community where 27-year-old Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley –… Continue reading Review: THE VATICAN TAPES
Review: SOUTHPAW
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Southpaw has everything one would expect from a boxing movie and that’s pretty much it. That is not to say that director Antone Fuqua and writer Kurt Sutter have made a bad movie, but if one has seen all of the Rocky movies, Raging Bull, and… Continue reading Review: SOUTHPAW
Review: PIXELS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) My fondness for some of Adam Sandler’s earlier movies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer) and my love for classic video games fueled whatever hope I had going into this film. As I left the theater though, I felt overstimulated from the CGI clutter and… Continue reading Review: PIXELS
