Plan Every Move. Play Every Side. Risk Everything.

Coming in February 2019, a new Miss Bala. I am looking forward to this one. I think Gina Rodriguez is fun to watch in action films and I want to see what she brings to this version. 

Synopsis: Gloria (Rodriguez) finds a power she never knew she had when she is drawn into a dangerous world of cross-border crime.  Surviving will require all of her cunning, inventiveness, and strength.

Also starring Ismael Cruz Córdova, Anthony Mackie, Aislinn DerbezCristina Rodlo, and Directed by Catherine Hardwicke.

Miss Bala in theaters February 2019. — A.O.

Cucuy: The Boogeyman Premiere’s on SyFy Network

Cucuy: The Boogeyman is inspired by the indelible legend found in many Latino countries. I grew up calling it The Cucuman (said with a Caribbean accent).

The film has a little of Hitchcock’s Rear Window, a little Halloween, and a few other reminder of other supernatural thrillers, but all-in-all entertaining. Perfect for a Saturday night.

Jearnest Corchado

Jearnest Corchado

Starring Marisol Nichols (Riverdale) and up and coming Puerto Rican actress Jearnest Corchado (The Blacklist) the movie tells the story of a town hit by a series of unexplainable child abductions. With no witnesses, no evidence, and no discernible connection between the missing children, the local Sheriff, played by Brian Krause (Charmed), has reached a dead end. During a town meeting, a resident inquires, is it possible that the Cucuy has come to Glimmer Peak?

The cast also includes; Bella Stine, Pedro Correa, Jack Erdie, Jossara Jinaro, Alma Martinez, Madison Rojas, Isaac Arellanes, Isabel Gravitt, and Justin Ellings. Written and directed by Peter Sullivan.

The movie is scheduled to premiere exclusively on SyFy on Saturday, October 13th at 7/6P CT. — A.O.

Thoughts on A Star is Born

A Star is BornBy SF/Staff writer

The first half of A Star is Born is really great. I love the opening. I loved his singing. I didn’t entirely buy that he stumbles into a drag bar, meets Gaga, and sparks fly…but I went along with it. I think he did a great job of making the story contemporary. Bradley Cooper was the true star of that movie; he brought such authenticity and passion to the character. The previous movies were more about the female leads, but in this version the male lead becomes a little clearer and more interesting than just a fading rock god.

Having said that…the second half is meh, except they really do work together well. But the story is definitely ‘off’ and he introduced pieces into the story that he can’t explore because it’s too much…though there is a whole other great story about his history that just fades, so maybe it’s not important. I heard Bradley Cooper explain why he did the movie and honestly, his explanation was clearer than I thought the movie was.

Here’s my last comment. I’m a big blubber-puss, I love to cry in movies. But with A Star is Born, I did not shed one tear. I heard someone in the audience whimper and I realized, “Yikes, I’m supposed to be emotionally engaged.” I wasn’t really. I think they got a lot of the ‘love’ stuff down, but once they’re together, the story really falls apart, for me. He didn’t do enough to engage me in either of their stories.  If anything, I was thinking, “What happened to those amazing people I just met in the first half?” The second half is predictable and not in the, “I’ve seen all versions of this movie” way. You just knew what was going to happen next. I would still recommend it, I just have to say this about that.

I’m glad I got to see it and I think Bradley Cooper did a great job of making the story relevant. I love Cooper and Lady Gaga together. It’s def worth seeing.

Also in the film; Sam Elliott, Anthony Ramos, Lukas Nelson, Andrew Dice Clay, and Dave Chappelle. A Star is Born is in theaters now.

David Zayas the Guiding Light in Shine

David Zayas

Shine, “a story about family, community, culture, and standing up for what you believe in.”

We caught up with the super talent, David Zayas (Gotham, Dexter), who plays the pops (Ramon) in the film. His character is all about family, community and culture. Zayas, who loves to keep busy, talked to us about working on the film and what it meant to him. He even mentions what his next project he’s working on and you can listen in on it now. Just click on the audio box.

David Zayas, Shine

David Zayas

The film had some good things going for it. They did a good job in tying the importance of family, music, dance, and the love of ones neighborhood and culture. Even in the midst of gentrification.

It’s not a perfect film but what it’s missing you kind of over look it for what it does have. The film makes you want to get out of your seat and join the dancing on the screen—and who wouldn’t, while listening to some great Fania music. I’ll watch it again.

Jorge Burgos, David Zayas, Gilbert Saldivar

Jorge Burgos, David Zayas and Gilbert Saldivar

The story: Two Puerto Rican brothers, Ralphi Matas (Jorge Burgos) and Junior (Gilbert Saldivar), from New York’s Spanish Harlem and the street’s best Salsa dancers, are separated after a tragedy only to reunite years later on opposing sides of gentrification. The film also stars, Alysia Reiner (OITNB), written/directed by Anthony Nardolillo, and produce by Sandra Varona. — A.O.

Shine in theaters October 5.
