“Wonder Woman” doesn’t live up to my expectations — one fan’s non-review

June 4, 2017 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

Based on the general reactions and reviews of the newest DC Comics release, “Wonder Woman” seems to be a hit. Most of my friends and family all agree that the movie is great, Gal Gadot did a good job as the iconic hero, Chris Pine is charming as Steve Trevor, and that they loved the […]

DVD & Digital Review: “East Side Sushi” (hispanichouston.com)

Have you heard of “East Side Sushi?” If you haven’t, don’t feel too bad. Neither had I. I came across the title in a random scrolling in one of my digital subscription services while trying to find something to stream while I worked. And I’m very pleased with my selection. “East Side Sushi” is a […]

A review of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”

March 29, 2016 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

There are three reasons why you might not want to read this review: You have already seen “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and you loved it. You haven’t seen “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and you don’t want to have it spoiled. You have never seen a movie that you didn’t like. The […]

I made the mistake of watching Salma Hayek’s “Everly”

January 28, 2016 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

I’m at a loss at explaining the movie “Everly” to anyone who hasn’t seen it. It’s a movie released in 2014 starring Salma Hayek in which she gets beaten, raped, tortured … as a plotline. It’s along the lines of the “Hostel” type of movies, where human suffering is supposed to be entertainment. If there […]

Alejandro G. Iñárritu, “The Revenant” win at Golden Globe Awards

January 14, 2016 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

“The Revenant” has barely been out in movie theaters but it’s been receiving critical acclaim for weeks … months. Excellent reviews have been coming in about the performance of Leonardo DiCaprio and about the movie itself (the writing, the direction, the cinematography). So it’s no big surprise that the movie garnered numerous nominations for the […]

A quick DVD Review: Fast & Furious 6

December 22, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez 1 Comment

I’m going to be honest that I’m not the biggest fan of the Fast & Furious movie franchise. I do enjoy the car races and the stunts. They’re fun. But, honestly, I don’t consider the movies to be “must see.” This is probably why I hadn’t seen Fast & Furious 6 while it was in […]

monsters university review

In theaters nationwide today, DisneyPixar’s Monsters University reunites John Goodman as big ferocious monster James P. “Sully” Sullivan and Billy Crystal as little, and often underestimated monster, Mike Wazowski.  The unlikely pair start off as polar opposites and rivals at Monsters University, where they are unexpectedly thrust into a group of misfit monsters who don’t […]
