tick, tick…BOOM! Review | A Well-Crafted Musical Punch

tick, tick…BOOM! Review | A Well-Crafted Musical Punch

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s feature directorial debut, tick, tick… BOOM!, is quite an impressive hit. Although, filmmaking-wise, Miranda has a ways to grow when it comes to handling the film’s structure, the songs, and performances, specifically Andrew Garfield and Robin de Jesús, are snazzy and touching enough to deliver some well-crafted musical punch.  I am not the biggest fan of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning auteur Lin-Manuel Miranda. I didn’t like Hamilton, Vivo, and In the Heights at all, and the only works he’s involved in that I have enjoyed so far are Moana and Mary Poppins Returns, which I defend…

In the Heights Review | The Movie of the Year!

In the Heights Review | The Movie of the Year!

“Paciencia y Fé” is the only thing that kept me from loosing it while waiting for In the Heights. Patience during the global melt-down that paralyzed the theatrical industry forcing studios to push films, often aggressively. Faith that the wait would be well worth it. At the least, films are designed to delight and entertain. Everyone can think of many films they love that have achieved that goal but everyone also has those couple of films that rocked them to their core and filled them with wonder and emotion few other films could. In the Heights is one such film…

Dear… Review

Dear… Review

“When senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised. Not one day.[Hamilton] is proof that history remembers. We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger. We rise and fall, and light from dying embers; remembrances that hope and love last longer. And love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, cannot be killed or swept aside.
