The “1-4-0”: #TheGetaway isn’t as bad as critics say. Yes, it has wild leaps of logic, but its escapism does entertain with its skilled car stunts. Read More

The “1-4-0″: @TWEMovie is a mix of the first 2 Pegg and Frost films – funny, witty, swift cuts and packs and emotional punch beneath it.
The Gist: After an attack of nostalgia, an ol’ high school friend decides to get the boys back together to finish what they started decades ago – complete 12 straight pubs until they reach the king of all pubs… The World’s End. But shit goes horribly wrong again when something stands in their way.
The Highlights: The fact that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright made such an entertaining movie about such a ludicrous premise is just pure talent at work. This movie will connect with people. Why? It explores themes of nostalgia, regrets, bygone youth and growing up.
The Lowlights: The premise can be seen as the weakest link, but the guys make it work. There is a plot twist that is just ridiculous which has shades of Hot Fuzz’s storyline.
Pay or Nay?: Pay for it because it is a very funny film with a level of human connection. Ultimately, these are the types of movies Wright, Pegg and Frost do and we are just lucky to be witnesses to them!

Back in January 13th of 2008, I began the first ever Spanish movie review radio segment with Luis Jimenez, one of the premiere morning personalities in radio, regardless of language. It’s been 5 years and we’re still kicking it strong better than ever. The segment airs every Friday on his morning program “The Luis Jimenez Show” which airs on the top rated – X 96.3FM – on Univision Radio. I review (in Spanglish for the most part) the latest theatrical releases along with the new DVD/Blurays and what’s On Demand at home. Read More

The “1-4-0″: #TheWolverine is a good movie not a great one. It has more dialogue than I expected. It’s worth watching, but you’re not missing much. Read More

*Updated 2026
In 2026, when stories about wealth, denial and public collapse still dominate culture, Blue Jasmine remains most compelling because Cate Blanchett makes the unraveling impossible to ignore.

The “1-4-0″: #RIPD is a MEN IN BLACK wannabe sequel that is too generic and typical to care for. Nothing stands out except that you’re now $13 short. Read More
