Nos Llaman Guerreras (2018)

I am currently attending the 26th annual San Diego Latino Film Festival this week and have had the opportunity to see a lot of great movies that I probably would not have had the chance to see. Here is a review of a sports documentary that almost brought me to tears. If you get theContinue reading “Nos Llaman Guerreras (2018)”

Beautiful Boy (2018)

What does the face of drug addiction look like in the United States? Is it the young white person who lives in an affluent neighborhood or the minority who lives off welfare and in the projects? The truth is that drug addiction has no barriers; it can affect anyone who is susceptible to the luresContinue reading “Beautiful Boy (2018)”

Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017)

The charming character of Winnie-the-Pooh gives way to warm, childhood memories, but the reality is the children’s classic was wrought with the lifeblood of the author. The film Goodbye Christopher Robin, directed by Simon Curtis, tells the true story of how the character and book by A.A. Milne came to fruition.

Lady Bird (2017)

Lady Bird is a thoughtful and engaging coming of age story that depicts the true melodrama that occurs in every teenager’s life.

TheContinue reading “Lady Bird (2017)”

I must have been 17 or 18 at the time, and my younger cousin was about 13. I gave him my World Industries Wet Willy skateboard because to be totally honest, I sucked at skateboarding. From there he ran with it and fell in love with the sport. We would watch Shorty’s, Zero, Toy Machine,Continue reading “Mid 90s (2018)”

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

When the original Mary Poppins film came out in 1964, it was a refreshing and light-hearted story that audiences ate up with a spoonful of sugar. The playful nanny and her chimney sweeper sidekick, provided the perfect distraction from the chaos and violence that was ripping through the outside world at the time, think theContinue reading “Mary Poppins Returns (2018)”

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

There are certain people who come into this world, this galaxy, and shine so bright that they were meant to be stars. These people they’re not like most of us, there is something so unique, so shiny, so different, that we can’t help, but stare. It’s an explicable touch of feeling, but they have thatContinue reading “Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)”
