By Laurie Coker Rating: B- “Big things come in small packages.” True of many things and definitely true of Paul Rudd’s titular character Ant-Man. However, although it is highly entertaining, Ant-Man directed by Peyton Reed, is a good deal of what we have already seen in the super-hero genre – eminent world destruction, a reluctant… Continue reading Review: ANT-MAN

Review: TRAINWRECK
By Laurie Coker Rating: B+ Trainwreck the title says it all, and much of Judd Apatow’s new film plays out like watching a human train wreck, but not necessarily in a bad way. A delightfully witty cast, with excellent comedic timing makes Trainwreck’s less than fresh storyline pop. Even with its all too long running… Continue reading Review: TRAINWRECK
Review: ANT-MAN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) With what could be considered Marvel’s silliest sounding title, this particular adaptation struck me as an even bigger risk than the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. However, when I first heard that Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish were spearheading this Marvel property, I knew, or at… Continue reading Review: ANT-MAN
Review: TRAINWRECK
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Director Judd Apatow tackled bro-mance and romance in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, unexpected offspring in Knocked Up, and marital woes in This is 40. Apatow’s newest comedy marks a return to romantic comedy, and as with most rom-coms, this one is told from a woman’s perspective. Only… Continue reading Review: TRAINWRECK

Review: SELF/LESS
By Liz Lopez Rating: B- Some people accept death and make preparations for themselves and their loved ones in advance. Making those preparations also requires having money available or purchasing a plan with monthly payments that at times can be hard on the budget. The percentage of individuals in our world who have no financial… Continue reading Review: SELF/LESS

By Liz Lopez Review and Interview with Nick Shymansky Rating: A I am a huge fan of diverse genres and styles of music and living in Austin, it is easy to attend and often.

Interview: JEFF LIPSKY, DIRECTOR OF MAD WOMEN
By Mark Saldana I was given the opportunity to review Mad Women through an independent film publicist based in New York. When a screener was offered to me, the publicist also offered me a few of Jeff Lipsky’s previous films. As much of a film buff as I am, I actually had not seen any… Continue reading Interview: JEFF LIPSKY, DIRECTOR OF MAD WOMEN
Review: MAD WOMEN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) This week I took a crash course in the work of Jeff Lipsky and discovered a director whose writing and directing style really impressed me. I would soon learn that the talented filmmaker had an amazing mentor in the legendary “godfather of independent film” John Cassavetes… Continue reading Review: MAD WOMEN
Review: AMY
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) As I have grown older, I have become less and less interested in what’s “hot” in music. Right around the time Amy Winehouse took the record charts by storm, I had already begun tuning out of pop music and focusing on my old favorites. Sadly, my… Continue reading Review: AMY
