By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) This country fried noir of a film features a superb cast delivering remarkable performances, but has little else to offer. Well, to be fair, the movie does have some lovely tense, edge-of-the-seat moments, but the reasons why the characters are in these situations and their motivations… Continue reading Review: COLD IN JULY

Review: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Love Story, A Walk to Remember, Forrest Gump, and countless other movies feature love stories where a character dies from a terminal illness.

Review: EDGE OF TOMORROW
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Though this movie will not score any points for originality of premise or even in the design of its futuristic tech, it does have enough going for it to make a fine entertainment piece for the movie goers who enjoy summer blockbuster fare. Director Doug Liman… Continue reading Review: EDGE OF TOMORROW
Review: EDGE OF TOMORROW
By Renee’ Collins Rating: 5 (Out of 5 Reels) Some would say seeing yet another Tom Cruise testosterone fest movie was not the best choice but he is unwittingly gaining my respect more and more by his choices of late.

Review: A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Though it never tops the intelligent, witty, and zany western comedy classic Blazing Saddles, A Million Ways to Die in the West does offer a decent share of funny comedic moments of the raunchy variety. I emphasize raunchy, simply because I know some movie goers despise… Continue reading Review: A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST
Review: MALEFICENT
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” That is unless you’re Maleficent, or at least the version of the wicked fairy portrayed in this Disney update of the same name. To appeal to modern audiences, Disney producers have decided to take a clearly evil and… Continue reading Review: MALEFICENT
Review: A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST
By Laurie Coker Rating: F Other than a paycheck, I can’t imagine why stars like Charlize Theron, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman and Liam Neeson would sign on to do a film like A Million Ways to Die in the West, written, directed and starred in by Seth Macfarlane. Granted, I am nowhere near the target… Continue reading Review: A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST
