Covering the Blue Beetle in Theaters August 18!

For the past few days we’ve been covering some fun Blue Beetle events around town. Promoting the highly anticipated film. Since the stars can’t promote the film, due to the strike. 

Below is how we feel about the film and PLEASE support Latino creatives!

Once this film kicks in, it’s so much fun going along for the ride. It’s full of heart and familia. And what a soundtrack. Blue Beetle stars Xolo Maridueña as Jaime (Blue Beetle), Adriana Barraza is a badass abuela, Belissa Escobedo, Elpidia Carrillo, Bruna Marquezine, George Lopez, Damián Alcázar, Susan Sarandon, Raoul Max Trujillo, and Harvey Guillén. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto and screenplay by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.

We hope everyone will go out and support this Latino Super Hero. Marking the DC Super Hero’s first time on the big screen. Fill the theaters, on Friday, August 18. 

Synopsis: Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he is bestowed with an incredible suit of armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the Super Hero BLUE BEETLE.

Indiana Jones 5 is the Only Roller Coaster I Would Ride

We really enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, it was nostalgic and a little melancholic for me. Since I feel it’s Mr. Ford’s last time as Indiana Jones.

On the bright side, I could see the character of Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), taken the mantel in any future film based on the adventure theme. It was nice to see familiar faces like, Karen Allen and John Rhys-Davies.

In the past week I’ve watched all the previous films. It was my build up to this fifth and final installment of the adventurous franchise.

Synopsis: Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history. Accompanied by his goddaughter, he soon finds himself squaring off against Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi who works for NASA.

Flamin’ Hot Is A long Over Due Story

We’ve watched Flamin’ Hot twice and enjoyed it both time. It is truly a rags to riches story. It has a lot of heart, humor and determination, brought to you by some very talented actors.

The story: Flamin’ Hot is the inspiring true story of Richard Montañez, the Frito Lay janitor who channeled his Mexican American heritage and upbringing to turn the iconic Flamin’ Hot Cheetos into a snack that disrupted the food industry and became a global pop culture phenomenon.

The film is directed by Eva Longoria, and stars Jesse Garcia, Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haybert, Emilio Rivera, Brice Gonzalez, Tony Shalhoub, Matt Wals, Bobby Soto, Jimmy Gonzales, Hunter Jones, and Pepe Serna.

Streaming on Hulu and Disney+ now.

Our other crew, checked out The Super Mario Bros. movie. Check out what JimmityCritic (11yrs), had to say below.

It made me cry cuz it was that good and I wish that the Mario games could actually be the way the movie is made because there was a lot more free roaming and it would be a lot more fun. The storyline is easier to follow in the movie, then in the video games  

I feel that some of the villains for example, King boo was under used.  

I feel Bowser could have used his power star at the beginning of his fight with Mario but overall, he had a good storyline and his motives were clear from the start. 

This could be a good family movie especially when trying to find a movie to watch during family movie night because it has a lot of elements of comedy getting through struggles and a wonderful good vs evil storyline. 

Based on the world of Nintendo’s Mario games, the film invites audiences into a vibrant, thrilling new universe.

Synopsis: While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Chris Pratt; Jurassic World and The LEGO Movie franchises) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day; It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.

Showcasing an all-star lineup who voice the iconic pop culture characters, The Super Mario Bros. stars Anya Taylor-Joy (Last Night in Soho, The Queen’s Gambit), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Seth Rogen (Neighbors, An American Pickle), Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda franchise) and Fred Armisen (Wednesday, Portlandia).

Boasting an A CinemaScore® and 96% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes, the Nintendo and Illumination-produced pop-culture spectacular of the year comes home in a next-level experience, unlocking over 30-minutes of bonus content that is sure to delight all Super Mario Bros. fans. Available on June 13.
