The 10 Best Movies To See This October!

10.1.2013 | By |

October could very well be the single best month to watch movies of 2013. When you do a quick overview of the films being released this month, five of them are the frontrunners to win Best Picture at the Oscars 2014. Many of these movies possess all star casts, top flight directors and innovative and fresh stories. They are also coming fresh off of great reviews at Venice, Telluride, Toronto and New York Film Festivals. Not to be ignored are the commercial fare which includes Arnold and Sly together in a full feature film as opposed to cameos and one of the greatest assembled cast of Hispanics in film history in ‘Machete Kills‘ and ‘The Counselor‘. Do yourself a service, if you haven’t been to the movies all year, this is the one month you should step out and watch one.

Here are 10 movies I recommend you watch…now! Read More

Baggage Claim (Movie Review)

09.27.2013 | By |

The “1-4-0″: Paula Patton gave it a nice try, but Baggage Claim is no good. It is too formulaic, riddled with old clichés and ridiculous situations. Romance dies here. Read More

New Trailer: Disney’s ‘Frozen’

09.26.2013 | By |

In a really, really, really bad year for animated movies, we finally get to see, perhaps, the frontrunner to the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars – Frozen – from Walt Disney Animation Studios (Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph). Its toughest competitor will most likely be The Wind Rises by legendary animation director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle). That film had a soporific effect on me that almost lulled me to sleep.  Read More

Lengua, Cámara y Acción: Can China Be A Better Hollywood?

09.24.2013 | By |

In my weekly syndicated movie radio segment on the Luis Jimenez Show, “Lengua, Cámara y Acción,” on X96.3FM IN NY, I broke down how Italy’s cinema’s have become brothels because of megaplexes swallowing their businesses, a Chinese billionaire is opening up a Hollywood of his own and iPhones 5S’s are a huge hit, so why is Luis against buying one? Listen to the radio segment now!

New Trailer: ‘Dom Hemingway’ Starring Jude Law, Demián Bichir

09.23.2013 | By |

Jude Law has never seemed to me like a leading star. A) He looks too pretty to me for me to take him seriously in a heavyweight role, B) He’s a tiny pinch of a man that looks like the wind would blow him away. Read More

Interview: Alfonso Cuarón talks ‘Gravity’

09.21.2013 | By |

Alfonso Cuarón has come a long way from the streets of Mexico City. He’s now a three time Oscar nominee and has never won. But what I’m betting is that Cuarón will win one this year for his masterpiece film – Gravity.

When you see the film, you can easily see the movie being nominated for 7 Oscar awards – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best VFX and Best Sound Mixing.

Cuarón recently sat down for an interview in Los Angeles with DP/30 to talk about the conception of the film, the production, and the new technology that is so great that audiences won’t notice any seams in the magic.

Rush (Movie Review)

09.20.2013 | By |

The “1-4-0” Take: “Days of Thunder” is good, but “Rush” is arguably the best racing film you’ll see. It boasts a well-crafted script, excellent acting, and is thoroughly entertaining. Read More
