'Señorita 89' Series Review: An Infuriating and Compelling Story

 senorita 89 movie review

Señorita 89, is an original series for the Spanish-language streamer Pantaya that explores the dark nature behind beauty pageants in which women are literally manufactured to win the crown. The dramatic thriller series set in 80s Mexico is a powerful tale of women banding together against a corrupt and unjust society. The series is both infuriating and compelling to watch, and you'll be hooked from the start.

'Sundown' Movie Review: A Different Sort of Mystery with Tim Roth

tim roth movie sundown bleecker street

SUNDOWN is a slow burn that works as a mystery in the sense that you don’t know the character’s motivations for his actions. SUNDOWN isn’t a particularly compelling movie starring Tim Roth but there’s intrigue into why Roth‘s character is living a carefree life in Mexico rather than returning to England with his family.

'Hotel Transylvania: Transformania' Movie Review - Fun and Endearing

 hotel transylvania transformania review cinemovie

The final chapter in the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA film series comes to a close with TRANSFORMANIA, premiering on Prime Video instead of a theatrical run. Drac and the Pack are back minus Adam Sandler voicing Drac but you'll barely notice. The new entry in the franchise has a surprisingly refreshing twist with an endearing outcome.

'The 355' Movie Review: The Ladies Deliver on the Action

The 355 movie review

How can you not like a movie that stars Jessica Chastain, Lupita N'yongo, Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz, Sebastian Stan and Edgar Ramirez? The cast alone in THE 355 are all outstanding actors so teaming them up together can only make for a good time as they kick ass. The fight scenes are all practical and realistic but the action is far from slick.

'With Love' Review: A Worthy Latino Rom-Com

 With Love Prime Video review 2

From One Day at a Time showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett comes the Prime Video series, With Love, a different sort of love story that spans several holidays. The trailer didn't sell the new series very well, but With Love takes its time showing the true nature of love and the ups and downs of coupling with interesting characters that will get you hooked.

Best of 2021: A Year of Lackluster Films

 Best Films of 2021

While there were good films in 2021, there was a lack of groundbreaking movies to rave about. Unlike years past, films like A PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, PARASITE or THE REVENANT were water-cooler talk. However, that is not to say I didn't enjoy a dozen films released this past year, and a handful of the worst projects.
