3.5/5	85%	Once Upon a Time In Hollywood (2019)	Tarantino's love letter to the Hollywood of yesteryear. The most nostalgic, relaxed and less Tarantino-ish film of his career. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 28, 2019

3/5	43%	The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019)	Perhaps one of the best films I've ever seen to present the magical strong tie between dog and owner. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 8, 2019
2.5/5	67%	Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)	Could've been so much more. With all the talent involved, it's an enormous missed opportunity for such a big spinoff. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 5, 2019

3/5	42%	Stuber (2019)	The Nanjiani/Bautista odd couple is so infectious, that the film wins you over. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 10, 2019
3.5/5	90%	Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)	Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio is a scene-stealer in this highly enjoyable Spidey sequel. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 2, 2019
2.5/5	65%	Annabelle Comes Home (2019)	A cool premise without a solid, engaging story. Not as good as "Creation", nor as bad as "Annabelle". [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 26, 2019
1.5/5	64%	Child's Play (2019)	This modern take on the 1988 original completely falls flat on its doll face. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 21, 2019
4/5	97%	Toy Story 4 (2019)	The funniest entry of the series. One that once again entertains with gorgeous visuals, plenty of charm and lots of heart. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 20, 2019

2/5	41%	Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)	Godzilla and pals aside, King of the Monsters is a disappointing follow-up to the 2014 reboot. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 2, 2019

3/5	55%	Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)	Zac Efron's great performance elevates this decent biographical crime drama. Right up there with his best work so far. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted May 2, 2019

2.5/5	56%	The Highwaymen (2019)	It has its moments, but the end results is unremarkable. That said, Costner and Harrelson are solid. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 28, 2019
2.5/5	47%	Dumbo (2019)	Dumbo is a charming and enjoyable new modern take on the 1941 classic. Without a doubt, Tim Burton's best in more than a decade. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 26, 2019

2.5/5	23%	Miss Bala (2019)	Rodríguez and Cruz Córdova both shine in this lukewarm, big studio remake of the 2011 film. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 31, 2019
2.5/5	37%	Glass (2019)	A disastrous, unearned and disappointing ending derails what at first felt as a decent, satisfactory conclusion to the trilogy. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 31, 2019
3/5	89%	The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)	An adorable and fun adventure for the whole family. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 27, 2019
4/5	66%	Vice (2018)	Absurd, dark and funny, Vice manages to work thanks to Bale's Oscar-worthy turn and McKay's sense of humor. [Full review in Spanish] - CineXpress EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 19, 2019
