Our Brand is Crisis. Yes, because of Sandra Bullock!

By Polo Munoz, Managing Editor/Publisher Calamities remind us of what we have and what we need. Sandra Bullocks latest film, “Our Brand is Crisis,” put in perspective the strategic actions that we must be looking for when we start supporting our political system. The individuals have one goal, to win and in some cases at all costs. What was disconcerting for me, is that when I walked into the theater, I was more vigilant than I have ever been about who was there, where they were sitting and where so seat in case some “emergency” happened. Once my friend...

Paris is burning and we must act!

By Polo Munoz, Managing Editor/Publisher The act of terrorism executed yesterday in Paris, was just horrible. There is no excuse and it must be squarely put on the shoulders of those that have been murdering other Muslims for years and the world has done nothing to stop them. We have seen videos of people being decapitated, being thrown off roofs because they are gay, raped because they are women and all of this has to do with psychopaths being in charge because they are willing to kill people that do not agree with them in the most horrific ways....

By Hipolito Munoz, Managing Editor/Publisher Well, Trump is Trump. A bigoted, misogynistic, racist 69 year old silver spooned old-man who lusts after his own daughter, 34 year old Ivanka Trump, and calls his wife, 45 year old Melanie Trump a young piece of ass, and who thinks the $1000,000 dollar little loan given him by his father to start his business was a quaint sum. He is exactly who he is and I am not fazed by his vitriolic vomit, sadly, if he really ends up having a sincere change of heart, I am going to be one of...

"SPECTRE" – Overly stylistic and worth the price!

By Polo Munoz, Managing Editor/Publisher “Spectre” was sort of what I expected it to be, except a little less so. There is something to say about a character that has now been successfully maintained as a constant with out the same person being who we thought he was. As a kid James Bond, Agent 007, was to me a mythical individual who did everything a man would want to do, but can’t in real life. The hyper ego of a macho sized mind with very little truth in it. And that is what we experienced in “Specter” The most...

Pitching at the American Film Market – Be Prepared!

By Polo Munoz, Managing Editor/Publisher As we sat around listening to some conversations at the beautiful Lowes Santa Monica Hotel during our stint covering this year’s American Film Market, it was very tough to listen to some of the pitches being made by very unprepared folks. There was the man who was pitching a Chinese production group his story and then telling them that he could make it on whatever amount they would “give” him and that he could not wait until their kids would be making films together. Our conclusion, this guy was not taking advantage of the...
