I grew up with all the Disney classics, and I can’t deny that I get excited when I hear about a new Disney movie, especially now that I have kids! I don’t miss an opportunity to take my little ones to the movies, and watch them in the comfort of our own home. It’s something that I look forward to with 4-year-old boys.

There are a few movies that make it out the 2014 LA Film Festivals that I can truly say I enjoyed watching, films like: Young Kieslowski, A Man From Reno, and Los Angeles to name a few.

I had feared that Walk of Shame would just be a horrible girl does something stupid now … [Read more…]
Opening in theaters everywhere today is Marvel’s latest installment of the Captain America series, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” Just like I said before, I wasn’t all excited when I was heading to see this one.

The 80’s was full of coming of age flicks that dealt with average teenage problems- getting a boy to like you, your parents treating you like a kid, a nerd showing off your panties, and giving your heart and getting a pen. Girl in Progress is none of those.Grace (Eva Mendes) is a single mom, too preoccupied with “paying the bills” and herself to notice that her teenage daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra … [Read more…]
