My Favorite Movies Of 2014… So Far

08.17.2014 | By Jack Rico |

*Updated December 2025

Since the beginning of the year, I have seen many films and only a scarce few have affected me in profound ways, while others have transported me to universes only my imagination could understand. Considering that all movies cannot be compared equally, especially when Hollywood’s fingerprints are all over one film and an auteur’s vision is all over another, I have divided them into two categories, commercial and independent.

Check out the new “Iron Man 3” poster!

03.25.2013 | By Mariana Dussan |

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

Walter Perez: A Latino In ‘The Avengers’!

05.4.2012 | By Jack Rico |

Movie fans! What would you do or give up to be an actor in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time – The Avengers? A better question to ask would be, how sickly talented do you have to be to even make it past the casting auditions!? Mexican-American actor Walter Perez can pat himself on the back with Thor’s Hammer with a grin on his face from here to Asgard because he achieved just that!

Perez is one of the up and coming rising stars in the highly competitive Hollywood business. It’s even more competitive when you are a Latino actor, because of the dearth of roles out there for Hispanics. But Perez, as is becoming the norm, managed to impress the casting crew and director Joss Whedon himself for a spot in the most anticipated film in Marvel history. Read More

Will Michael Phelps Play ‘Namor the SubMariner’ On Film?

08.27.2008 | By Jack Rico |

*Updated November 2025*

As I was sitting in the second tier deck of the Water Cube Arena in Beijing, China watching history made as US Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps shattered all kinds of long-standing swimming records, I couldn’t stop thinking how Phelps looks to me like a living, breathing human fish.
