Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Movie Review)

06.24.2009 | By Alex Florez |

Revenge of the Fallen falls somewhere between ‘American Pie’ and ‘Terminator’. Yes, I know that covers the gamut of movie genres, but that’s exactly the situation at hand.

He’s Just Not That Into You (Movie Review)

02.6.2009 | By Alex Florez |

With an ensemble cast featuring the who’s who of the romantic comedy genre and the Sex and the City writers behind it, He’s Just Not That Into You positions itself as this year’s go-to Valentine’s Day movie.
