Despite its shortcomings, "Max" should please audiences looking for a family film filled with adventure and lovable dogs. It helps to have a solid cast of characters to lead the way, even if the people we are expected to bond with are people we have met in other iterations, possibly better ones.
"Inside Out" moves at a riveting clip, coming off as an adventure story like no other. It will certainly provide viewers with a new perspective on our emotions and whether we or something else has control over them and by extension our behavior and actions. There can be no doubt - Pixar is back on top and quite possibly at the best it has ever been.
Despite the shortcomings, "Jurassic World" is a well-paced summer blockbuster with a strong cast and terrific visuals. The social commentary on the state of the industry adds to the fun making this one of the better summer films of 2015 and one of the finer reboots of recent memory.
This week studios will offer few home video releases in order to avoid competition from "Jurassic World." However, there are plenty of genres for moviegoers including action, drama, and comedy.
As part of the marketing campaign for the upcoming "Insidious: Chapter 3," Focus Features brought on musician Gaby Moreno to showcase her voice in a trailer aimed at Latin America audiences.
For Moreno, a Guatemalan artist who has made a number of albums and toured with such bands as Calexico, the task was a rather unusual one.
Moreno recently spoke to Latin Post about the experience of recording music for a film preview as well as her career challenges and goals.
Perhaps the least shocking aspect of "Insidious: Chapter 3" is how poor a film it ultimately is. True to form, it manages to indulge in every horror cliché in the book, but does not end there. The film also fulfills the stereotype of the artistically-bereft sequel, a film so generic and inconsequential that it needs to hide behind a notable brand to have any sort credibility.
This week the world will get a chance to check out "Insidious 3," the latest in Hollywood's obsession with paranormal horror movies. Remember the time when slasher moves were all the rage? Remember how that slowly shifted toward the subgenre known as torture porn (movies like "Saw" and "Hostel")?
Aloft” is certainly high on the emotions, but those willing to stick with the film on its own turns will find satisfaction in Llosa’s structural acuity and the visceral performances on display.
In many ways, "Mad Max: Fury Road" fits the conventional mold of Hollywood's machine. The film has explosions, a thin story, and a relentless pace. But it manages to take all of those tropes and transform it into an organic whole where each and every piece is essential to its overall impact. And more over, where other action blockbusters suffer from predictability of their start-stop structure, this film, with its minimal dialogue, feels like a full-fledged experience that has you immersed from the start to its finish. This is pure action cinema at its very finest in what will undoubtedly be one of the best films of 2015.
"Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" is slated for release on April 17 and reunites the cast from the successful first installment. Among those stars returning for a second time is Raini Rodriguez as Maya Blart, the titular character's daughter.
Rodriguez, who was born in Texas, has been acting since the age of 11 and has appeared in such films as "Girl In Progress," "Prom" and such TV series as "Austin & Ally," "I'm in the Band" and "Jessie" among others.
The actress recently spoke to Latin Post about her experiences on the set of both "Mall Cop" movies as well as her point of view on being a Latin American in the film industry.
With the holiday weekend coming up many families will want to stay home to celebrate Easter. They will ignore the current movie fare at the box office including "Furious 7," "Cinderella," "Home" and "Insurgent." For those not interested in this type of fare, Latin Post takes a look at "Hop" and a number of films to watch this holiday weekend.
xWith "Furious 7" coming out this weekend, the studios will release three of the most successful films of 2014. "Interstellar," "The Imitation Game" and "Wild" will offer up alternatives to the mega blockbuster.
"Insurgent" unfortunately is not an improvement on its predecessor which was far from special. Instead, it is a major downgrade on "Insurgent' with a sloppy plot and uninteresting characters.
