Review: BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE)

By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) Like one of Tony Stark’s Jericho missiles, the new film by writer/director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu  (Babel, Amores Perros) launches a razor-sharp satire that splits up and decimates all of its intended targets.  That is not to say that there is no love involved in this film. Iñárritu dishes… Continue reading Review: BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE)

Review: OUIJA

By Mark Saldana Rating: 1.5 (Out of 4 Stars) For adults, watching Ouija the movie is as much a waste of time as is playing with the  “mystifying oracle”.  I can honestly see (and actually did see at the screening) young teens eating this up, cringing in fright, and screaming at the mostly lame jump… Continue reading Review: OUIJA

Review: JOHN WICK

By Laurie Coker Rating: B- Going into Keanu Reeves’ return to screen film John Wick, I knew what to expect.

Review: FURY

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Writer/director David Ayer and his crew bring an impressive visual style and outstanding editing and visual effects to Fury, but unfortunately has a script with some questionable writing.  This dark, gritty, and sometimes horrific war film has some truly impressive battle scenes, but the problems become… Continue reading Review: FURY

Review: ST. VINCENT

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) St. Vincent is a movie which treads familiar territory, but it is one whose heart is undeniable.  The process of revealing that heart is often a hilarious one. Bill Murray stars in the title role of an old curmudgeon who eventually finds some new joy in… Continue reading Review: ST. VINCENT

Review: THE BOOK OF LIFE

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) From producer Guillermo Del Toro, this fun and delightful animated family movie comes just in time for Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican and Hispanic holiday which honors loved ones who have passed away.  This vibrant film incorporates a love… Continue reading Review: THE BOOK OF LIFE
