Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Thursday, 27 August 2020 04:38; Written by Lupe R Haas

Robins Wish Robin William's Documentary

Don't expect a biographical documentary on Robin Williams in the new film, ROBIN'S WISH. Instead ROBIN'S WISH sets the record straight about William's suicide. His widow Susan Schneider Williams describes how the comedian/actor was literally not in his right mind when he took his life. After his death, an autopsy revealed he was suffering from a degeneration of the brain called Lewy Body Dementia. Williams' wife, friends and NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM director Shawn Levy and tv producer/writer David E. Kelly describe his deteriorating state of mind leading to his death.

'The One and Only Ivan' Movie Review: Get The Tissue Box

The One and Only Ivan movie review CineMovie

Disney+'s THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN is the perfect family movie to watch and discuss in your living room when it premieres Friday, August 14. Adapted from Katherine Applegate's book, the screenplay by Mike White isn't subtle about the subject matter, but sometimes we need a kick in the head when it comes to animal captivity.

'Sputnik' Movie Review: A Russian Sci-Fi Horror Flick

Sputnik movie review 2020

At first glance, SPUTNIK's premise appears to rip off ALIEN but the Russian sci-fi only borrows that concept and elevates into something more original. Don't come looking for an action-filled movie, however, it will have you on the edge of your seat.

‘Murder in the Woods’ Movie Review: Just Another Teen Slasher Film But With Latinos

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Friday, 14 August 2020 12:34; Written by Lupe R Haas

Murder in the Wood movie review

The virgin. The floozy. A sex-starved teen and the jock, all walk into a cabin in the woods, and one by one they die a horrible death. MURDER IN THE WOODS is just like every other teen slasher movie out there except this one stars a Latinx cast, and written and directed by Latinx filmmakers. Usually I'd applaud the effort, but sadly MURDER IN THE WOODS is a carbon copy of past movies, and a missed opportunity to inject new life into the slasher/horror genre with Latinx flavor.

'Paydirt' Movie Review Starring Val Kilmer and Luke Goss

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Friday, 07 August 2020 18:57; Written by Lupe R Haas

Paydirt Val Kilmer movie review

Nothing irks me more than bad acting, and PAYDIRT is full of it, mostly coming from the female characters who are only there to be objectified. Starring Luke Goss (THE HARD WAY, HELLBOY II, BLADE II) and Val Kilmer (THE DOORS, HEAT, TOMBSTONE), the film from writer/directer Christian Sesma is rife with bad dialogue, an unwatchable performance by Kilmer and a perpetuation of the Latino stereotype.

'The Tax Collector' Movie Review: David Ayer Delivers A Mexploitation Film

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Thursday, 06 August 2020 13:53; Written by Lupe R Haas

Shia LeBeouf and Bobby Soto in THE TAX COLLECTOR

David Ayer (SUICIDE SQUAD, FURY) takes to the streets of Los Angeles once again for THE TAX COLLECTOR starring Bobby Soto, Shia LaBeouf and George Lopez. The violent crime thriller has the B-movie vibe while the story is cliché from start to end. You get the impression the END OF WATCH and HARSH TIMES writer/director dug up this one up from his archives because it feels dated like one of those 70s Mexploitation films. Fans of that sub genre may enjoy this one.

'Greyhound' Movie Review: The Shortest War Movie Ever

Details: Category: New Series and Movie Reviews; Published: Friday, 10 July 2020 13:59; Written by Lupe R Haas

Tom Hanks Greyhound review

There’s a reason why the Tom Hanks naval drama was dumped from a theatrical release to Apple TV+. The World War II movie is one of dullest entry in the genre, and the shortest clocking in at 88 minutes. With little character development, GREYHOUND has some intense moments and intrigue, but initially it's difficult to become invested in it.

'Volition' Movie Review: A Time-Bending Movie With Plausibility Issues

Volition Movie Review

At the end of VOLITION, the main character boils down the events that have just unfolded to a single piece of dialogue. “Maybe it is that simple.” Actually the movie from first time feature film director Tony Dean Smith is anything but simple.
