Review: POMPEII

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars)  To quote the classic comedy Airplane!, “Do you like movies about gladiators?” If the answer to this question is yes and one also enjoys rehashed romance plots, then perhaps this film shouldn’t be missed. However, I would not go into this movie expecting any originality from… Continue reading Review: POMPEII

Review: ENDLESS LOVE

By Savannah Wood Rating: C There’s a classic adage in the storytelling vernacular called “show, don’t tell”. The idea is centralized around encouraging writers to reveal the story through subtleties, expressive elements, and cues rather than explicitly telling the reader everything they need to know–let the story do the talking.

So let’s kid ourselves–RoboCop’s purpose is to make money; but that doesn’t mean we can’t allow ourselves to sit back and enjoy it.

Review: ROBOCOP

By Renee’ Collins Rating: 3.5 (Out of 5 Reels) I wanted to see this film because I enjoyed the original film released in 1987 plus I really wondered what they would do with current computer graphic technology.  In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop – is critically… Continue reading Review: ROBOCOP

Review: ROBOCOP

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Much like the 2012 version of Total Recall failed to outdo Paul Verhoeven’s original film, this 2014 upgrade of RoboCop never matches the smart humor, over the top violence, and awesome characters that have made Verhoeven’s version a cult favorite. The new film may boast improved… Continue reading Review: ROBOCOP
