Poltergeist is Back!

poltergeist-one-sheetIn theaters now! And still based on Steven Spielberg’s original story. The film holds up well as a remake. It had enough scare factors for me.

I tried not to compare it to the original that I saw. Now I’m waiting on the thoughts from the purist around me.

It stars, Sam Rockwell (Eric Bowen), Rosemarie DeWitt (Amy Bowen), Jared Harris (Carrigan Burke), Jane Adams (Dr. Brooke Powell), Saxon Sharbino (Kendra Bowen), Kyle Catlett (Griffin Bowen), Kennedi Clements (Madison Bowen), Nicholas Braun (Boyd), and directed by Gil Kenan. Even Sam Raimi is one of the producers.

Check out the q&a with Rockwell, Dewitt, director Kenan and paranormal expert, Christopher Chacon. —A.O.

Family Fun at 26th Annual Fiesta Broadway

Mad Max-San AndreasI can’t believe it has been twenty-six years since the first Fiesta Broadway took place in downtown Los Angeles. I can say I was there for the very first one.

Evaluna Montaner Hot Pursuit

Fiesta Broadway is known as the largest Latino event in the nation’s largest Hispanic market. The event brings thousands of people to downtown Los Angeles every year for a day of music, food, and family fun!

For me, the fun was checking out some of the booths of upcoming films. I loved the Mad Max: Fury Road in 3D trailer. At the Pixels booth, participants got to play on some old school arcade machines of “Pac Man,” I hung out with some of the characters of the upcoming Hotel Transylvania 2, I took some fun shots of singer/actress Evaluna Montaner who’s in Sofía Vergara, Reese Witherspoon’s comedy Hot Pursuit.

The Pixels-HT2-MI5Youngsters enjoyed bungee jumps at the Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation booth and over at the Duane Johnson’s San Andreas booth, they were raffling off t-shirts and tickets to the upcoming film, so they had a captive audience.
