By Liz Lopez Rating: A When I first heard the title of the new documentary written, produced, and directed by Michael Moore, Where to Invade Next, I could not help but think the film is all about the wars the U.S. has been involved in. Many people who walk up to the theater without reading… Continue reading Review: WHERE TO INVADE NEXT

Review: THE CHOICE
By Liz Lopez Rating: B- Nicholas Sparks’ The Choice is now a feature film and in theaters now. Although some people may consider some of the Sparks stories as predictable romance films, I think it is a well made film with excellent performances by Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer. I cannot say I agree with… Continue reading Review: THE CHOICE
Review: HOW TO BE SINGLE
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) With Valentine’s Day coming up, I don’t find it too surprising that a film labeled as a romantic comedy will hit theaters in time for the celebration of love. The trouble with most romantic comedies, though, is that these films are often formulaic and loaded with… Continue reading Review: HOW TO BE SINGLE
Review: HAIL, CAESAR!
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Joel and Ethan Coen are seminal artists when it comes to comedy. It really is great to see them back with an entry that completely embraces the genre. and one that delivers beautifully.

Review: HAIL, CAESAR!
By Renee’ Collins Rating: 4.5 (Out of 5 Reels) A Hollywood fixer (Josh Brolin) in the 1950s works to keep the studio’s stars in line (IMDB). Having only seen one or part of any of the Cohen brother films this reviewer didn’t have much of an expectation for this film. Surely the Cohen brothers’ track… Continue reading Review: HAIL, CAESAR!

Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) I have never actually read anything by parody author Seth Grahame-Smith, but have seen one film adaptation of his book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Although I found that particular movie moderately entertaining and fun, it really isn’t a movie I would highly recommend. Going into this… Continue reading Review: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
Review: 45 YEARS

Not everyone has the patience or tolerance to handle the character flaws and mistakes of a spouse, nor can everyone make the necessary sacrifices and compromises required to make a marriage work. While there are no such… Continue reading Review: 45 YEARS
Review: THE FINEST HOURS
By Laurie Coker Rating: B Countless films have been made about the American armed forces, even the Coast Guard, but rarely to our coastal guardians get the screen time afford the other services. The Finest Hours, starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck in the most notable performances of their careers, is based on the true… Continue reading Review: THE FINEST HOURS
Review: THE FINEST HOURS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) The Pendleton rescue by the United States Coast Guard is considered the most impressive and gutsy rescue mission ever attempted by that branch of the military. Despite treacherous conditions and incredible odds, the Guard dispatched a small crew in a small boat to rescue any survivors… Continue reading Review: THE FINEST HOURS
