By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Southpaw has everything one would expect from a boxing movie and that’s pretty much it. That is not to say that director Antone Fuqua and writer Kurt Sutter have made a bad movie, but if one has seen all of the Rocky movies, Raging Bull, and… Continue reading Review: SOUTHPAW

Review: PIXELS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) My fondness for some of Adam Sandler’s earlier movies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer) and my love for classic video games fueled whatever hope I had going into this film. As I left the theater though, I felt overstimulated from the CGI clutter and… Continue reading Review: PIXELS
Review: SOUTHPAW
By Laurie Coker Rating: C+ Finding freshness in a film genre made memorable by films like Raging Bull and Rocky works against most directors, if for nothing more than the “been there, seen that” element. Having an exceptional cast can and does make up for a great deal, and having Jake Gyllenhaal as a leading… Continue reading Review: SOUTHPAW
Review: MR. HOLMES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B Ian McKellen is a very talented actor that I have enjoyed viewing and most recently at the end of last year as Gandalf in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and most certainly all the previous Hobbit films leading up to it. It is a real treat to… Continue reading Review: MR. HOLMES
Review: ANT-MAN
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
