By: Renee’ C. Rating: 2 (Out of 5 Reels) A fantasy re-telling of the medieval story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) and the Green Knight (IMDB).

THE GREEN KNIGHT
By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) Even though this film is based upon an Arthurian tale, it is very much an interpretation and adaptation by filmmaker David Lowery. The film director has taken this story and given it a truly incredible and artistic realization that feels very modern and timely, despite the… Continue reading THE GREEN KNIGHT
STILLWATER
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) On the surface, the timing of this movie’s story seems totally wrong, given that it involves a white American supposedly wrongfully accused of a murder. What I mean is that there are so many people of color in America wrongfully under arrest, awaiting trial, or wrongfully… Continue reading STILLWATER

After all, he did blow our minds with “The 6th Sense” and entertain us with “Signs” and for some “Unbreakable”. Since then, however, his subsequent films are more whaaat? than wow. “Old”, the director’s latest venture… Continue reading OLD

OLD
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) M. Night Shyamalan is back with another horror thriller that explores people’s reactions to rapid aging in addition to some pre-existing problems that already trouble them.
