See how these character change with the right musical notes. John Carney is an Irish filmmaker who is able to share his passion for characters and music. “Once,” “Begin Again,” and “Sing Street” are all proof that he ranks with… Read More ›

It Lives Inside
Another horror film you can worship. I like to compare “It Lives Inside” to “Smile.” That movie was about a young woman who has to not sleep, because she gets haunted by a sinister smile, which would eventually kill her…. Read More ›
Cassandro
It shares its love for gay themes and lucha libre. This month, I’ve seen two films about Mexican legends, who have their own dreams to accomplish. “A Million Miles Away” starred Michael Pena as the first Mexican-American astronaut Jose Hernandez,… Read More ›
Dumb Money

Retribution
Noisy Liam Neeson movie should have its driver’s license revoked. Although “Retribution” is the American remake of a Spanish film called “El desconocido,” I still think it wants to go for “Speed,” which had a bomb on a bus that… Read More ›
Ahsoka
Rosario Dawson uses the force with attitude and style. Ahsoka Tano is the former Jedi Padawan and apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. You know, before he went to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader. She was made for the “Star… Read More ›
