By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) This movie really does not feel like an Antoine Fuqua picture. I would expect something of this caliber from directors like Roland Emmerich or Michael Bay. Although not all of his films are winners, Fuqua has made some solid, gritty crime films such as Training Day… Continue reading Review: OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN

Review: STOKER
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Known for dark, intense and stylized psychological thrillers, Korean director Park Chan-Wook makes his first English-language film with a script by Wentworth Miller and Erin Cressida-Wilson. The result is a slow burning, tense and suspenseful piece that suffers from a questionable head-scratcher of an ending. For… Continue reading Review: STOKER

2013 SXSW Review: DON JON
By Renee’ Collins Rating: 5 (Out of 5 Reels) I have enjoyed previous work by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his writing and directorial debut Don Jon will be high on my list of favorites. Jon Martello (Gordon-Levitt) objectifies everything in his life: his apartment, his car, his family, his church and, of course, women. His buddies… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: DON JON

Well, thankfully this film did not play out quite as poorly. This riff on Vegas… Continue reading 2013 SXSW Review: THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE
