Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire Review

When any science fiction movie dealing with space is released, it will be always compared to the previous space movies. People will find similarities and complain about the lack of originality in these movies.

The Iron Claw Review

When I was younger I remember going to my friend Jose’s house for a sleepover. Other than hanging out with my friend who recently moved to the suburbs we were excited to see Wrestlemania 3. His father ordered the pay-per-view and we could not wait to see Hulk Hogan take on Andre the Giant. This…

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…
