About Time… Disney Finally Creates First Latina Princess

01.30.2015 | By Jack Rico |

Disney this week announced that they created their first ever Latina Princess and her name will be Princess Elena of Avalor. Here’s the catch, she will only exist as part of the Disney Junior cable TV world and not in film which is where the mainstream masses could really have felt her presence. To keep her ensconced from broad platforms such as the movie arena, unlike the African-American Princess in 2009’s The Princess and the Frog, is something that should have all Hispanics pondering on why the decision of relegating her to the whims of 2-7 year olds? Did things not work out with the diverse Princesses concept in film? Read More

Movies, unlike TV, have been very slow to embrace diversity in Hollywood.

So here are 19 Hispanic Films To Watch In 2015!

Las 10 Mejores Películas Latinas de la Década 2000-2009

12.18.2014 | By Jack Rico |

Escogí, en mi opinión, las 10 mejores películas latinas de la década entre los años 2000-2009. Todo el mundo hace sus listas de los 10 mejores de Hollywood, pero pienso que el cine latinoamericano se merece su propio reconocimiento. Para ser estricto, no incluí filmes de España sino que me enfoqué en filmes desde Mexico hasta la punta de Argentina.
