G.I. Joe: Retaliation (Movie Review)

03.29.2013 | By |

G.I. Joe: Retaliation” the best action movie of 2013 so far? The year is still too young to give a credible opinion, but “Olympus has Fallen” might take that prize. It is rated R and it is hyper-violent. We also have to wait for “Iron Man 3,” “Man of Steel” and “Pacific Rim” to make a final decision. Nevertheless, G.I. JOE 2 is a Red Bull overdose as soon as you walk into the theater. In regards to its entertainment value, it is going to be a ridiculous hit. All the violence, one-line bad jokes, and 3D action your brain can handle are all present – and I must admit it is fun! Read More

03.26.2013 | By |

Although ‘Killing Them Softly’ director Andrew Dominik has been in the business for over a decade, he doesn’t have a long catalog of films to his name, but the few truly speak wonders of his talent. His first film ‘Chopper’ came out in 2000, a comedic crime biography film based on the story of an Australian criminal, which received three awards from the Australian film institute including best director. It gave the New Zealand born director plenty of attention. So much so, that Brad Pitt couldn’t wait to work with him for his second directed film ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’ yet another crime biography but this time dramatic film. This one also went on to get great reviews and although it had some problems with the studio thanks to the big name attached it finally came out in 2007. Five years later his third film a crime drama thriller ‘Killing Them Softly’ is here and will open this Friday, November 30th nation wide. Read More

Diego Boneta "auditions" for Batman

Imagine Batman. You are seeing a powerful man in an all-black skin-tight leather suit which outlines his muscular body, a black flowing cape, and a black mask with pointy bat ears that only reveals his mouth and eyes.  For years, many gentlemen have taken on this heroic role, each one giving the character a personal influence.

Last week, The Hollywood Reporter gave a new chap the opportunity to “don the figurative cape” and let’s just say that his influence on the legendary character was nothing less than unforeseen.  Read More

Check out the new "Iron Man 3" poster!

What Latino doesn’t like a good superheroe movie!? So get ready for it … “Iron Man 3!” Now that you have stopped running around your house screaming from joy – we know, we are just as excited – here is a look at the poster which promotes the film’s IMAX release this May 3rd.

Although I do like the poster, I have to admit it’s a bit overwhelming. There is iron man flying in the background and iron man holding Gwyneth Paltrow in the foreground, there are also helicopters, Iron Man’s Coastal mansion on fire, sky, sea, Guy Pearce, Don Cheadly and Ben Kingsley. Definitely a bit too much, but I am glad to say they did leave some surprises for inside the theater, according to Deadline, the poster doesn’t preview any of the new characters.  Read More

Today in the twenty-first century the topic of homosexuality is still a hard pill to swallow for many, but imagine the same topic during the 80s under an oppressive government – unthinkable.

Renate Costa, a young woman from Paraguay, attempts to search for the answers to questions about her uncle Rodolfo that have lingered in her mind for years, questions that lead her to unearth an unspoken and violent history of her country while under the regime of President Alfredo Stroessner.  Read More
