New Mexican Chips ‘Takis’ Coming To A Theater Near You

04.22.2013 | By |

Since before the 1930s, a bag of popcorn has been the most prominent companion of a movie, but as times change and the populations shift so do the old-school ways.

Slowly but surely it’s been hitting the movie industry that Latino is the way to go, so lo and behold, diversified concessions offerings.   According to Deadline, a new vendor has hit the CinemaCon floor this year, a popular Mexican corn chip snack called Takis, made by Barcel USA, looking to be the pioneer of a new movie experience.  Read More

First look at the new THOR: THE DARK WORLD poster!

First look at the new THOR: THE DARK WORLD poster!

I just got my hands on Marvel’s new teaser poster “Thor: The Dark World” poster. From what I’m looking at, the poster looks great for a teaser, very Highlanderish from 1986, if you ask me.

The film brings back Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. Read More

Oblivion (Movie Review)

04.19.2013 | By |

From engrossingly existential to plain ol’ dumbed-down is how I would describe the trek from beginning to end in Tom Cruise’s new movie “Oblivion” from director Joseph Kosinski. Overall, “Oblivion” is a good film, but not a great film. It does possess outstanding visuals (Chilean Claudio Miranda is responsible) and another solid performance from Tom Cruise, but the script towards the end, a combination between a novela romance and contrived plot twists, drags the film from a superb movie to just a slightly better than average affair.
