Chicago International Film Festival Recap
The Chicago International Film Festival has come and gone and the Fandads spent a few days watching some great movies. In our last post about the ChiFilmFest, we listed all of the movies we hoped to see. Due to the new day job and family commitments, I was not able to attend as many screenings…

Trolls Band Together Review
I remeber when the first Trolls movie came out I was a little curious as to see how it would turn out. The thought of making a movie about Trolls seemed weird but boy was I wrong. The story had a lot of heart and humor in it that it became of one my family’s…

Pencils vs Pixels Review
As a fan of animation watching Pencils vs Pixels not only brings about a feeling of nostalgia but also a feeling of awe. I grew up with 2D hand-drawn animation. Going to see the latest Disney movie at the theater was an experience on its own. Sitting there in the dark and getting lost in…

Brightwood Review
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, movies like Brightwood would not exist. There are a few movies that have ruined the forest for me. Movies like the original Evil Dead, Friday the 13th, and The Blair Witch Project have…

Blue Beetle Review
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike movies like Blue Beetle would not exist. Growing up there were not that many Latin superheroes on mainstream television for me. The closest thing to a Spanish superhero for me was El Chapolin…

Mixtape review
Back in the day when I was a teenager, I was what was called a “Bedroom DJ”. I was not as skilled as those doing the clubs or the high school dances. I would practice for 8 hours on Saturdays and then go out with my friends and usually play the tape I made in…
