These collection of films vary from science-fiction, dark, to downright weird. Brace yourselves, moviegoer: three films previewed their trailers out of last month's Comic-Con that border on science-fiction, scary and creepy, and they involve Matthew McConaughey, Daniel Radcliffe and Justin Long.
Mendoza manages to create a distinct mood piece in "Tierra en la Lengua," but the film's plodding pacing and often repetitive structure could prove tedious for some.
Gunn's script may veer along the familiar path but the moments that lead up to the dramatic milestones certainly keep the viewer not only interested, but in suspense. "Guardians of the Galaxy" might be the best Marvel film created since the first "Iron Man" and is undoubtedly the super hero movie to watch in 2014.
How did "Guardians of the Galaxy" stars Zoe Saldana and Dave Batista look so amazing onscreen? The film's makeup FX artist David White recently spoke with Latin Post about the process of working on "Guardians of the Galaxy" as well as his experience working with Saldana and WWE's Dave Bautista.
"Boyhood," starring Ethan Hawke and Eller Coltrane, seizes the viewer's attention and deepest emotions in a manner that makes it one of the finest films of the century and one that will endure for decades to come.
The two-hour movie masterfully blends humor and heart. "Guardians of the Galaxy" was a risky film choice for Marvel. What with the story set in space, the anthropomorphic raccoon, the giant tree creature, and the combination of a leading man and director who had never been involved in a big budget production, it could have easily been a disappointment.
The upcoming Focus Features film "Box Trolls" was given a ceremonious unveiling at Comic-Con this past weekend. The animated film marks the latest effort by Laika, the company behind such critical hits as "Coraline" and "ParaNorman."
The performances make "Raiz" watchable, but the plodding and seemingly directionless pace can get tedious for the impatient viewer. The film's plot also feels a bit derivative, with little new to express. It is clear that Valencia has tremendous talent, but it was not fully explored in this film.
Adolescence. The time when everything feels possible, and life feels the most free. But adolescence is also a transitional period in which the youth comes to the realization that not everything is possible, and the liberty is an illusion. These complex ideas are brilliantly presented in Samuel Kishi's directorial debut "Somos Mari Pepa."
"Las Busquedas" clocks in at under 80 minutes, but every single frame and moment is filled with tremendous detail and emotion. The film presents viewers not only with tremendous artistic conviction, but a visceral and unforgettable journey.
Don't expect many major studio films released in 2013 to receive a GLAAD Media Award this year. Instead, the leading gay and lesbian advocacy group says that the mass majority of movies produced by major Hollywood studios last year received a flunking grade when it came to depicting the LGBT community in a positive light.
A number of new films will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray as well as other streaming services on July 22, including a major studio picture that flopped in theaters as well as a surprising box office hit.
"Snowpiercer" is not getting the wide release that other major science-fiction thrillers usually get, but it certainly deserves that and more. It manages to blend an engagingly complex premise with over-the-top action and brilliant acting to creating one of the more satisfying and thought-provoking films of the summer.
"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is brimming with tremendous tension and emotionality. Reeves certainly pushes the emotional content to its edge, but it never devolves into manipulative sentimentality. At its core, this film is a story about family and community portrayed through wondrous acting; the top rate action is just a massive bonus in a riveting and unforgettable movie.
What is this new Sherlock Holmes film iteration all about? Star of the "X-Men" films and "The Lord of The Rings" trilogy movies Sir Ian McKellen is about to embark on another iconic role, as the super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
"Begin Again" will definitely not please all audiences, especially if you're looking for something unpredictable. However it is a feel-good movie that feels genuine and one that will resonate with viewers in search of an uplifting journey.
Some of these newly added Netflix streaming films and TV shows titles, vary from good to great. It is that time again avid binge watchers of TV shows and films, when Netflix adds new streaming titles for the month of July.
"Deliver Us From Evil" is ultimately an overlong messy film with cheap thrills and quite forgettable. The lack of a unison style ultimately makes the movie confused and hard to follow. While the intentions are understood one wishes there was a more defined and original way of making the film. If you're looking for a procedural horror film, look elsewhere.
