Last year, when LATINA interviewed Mo Amer, a Palestinian-born comedian whose family settled in Houston when he was just nine years old, he said there are three art forms that are indigenous to the United States: jazz, stand-up comedy and hip-hop. If that’s the case, one could argue that Houston, [...]

If you’re Latino, love horror movies, sequels, or movies in general, this is going to be a pretty great week (especially if you live in New York). There is no shortage of interesting new offerings this weekend and just about all of them look like must-sees for any diehard movie [...]

The first weekend of September is full of blood, guts, and gore. All five films we’re highlighting this weekend are pretty brutal affairs. We have the Denzel Washington-led Equalizer threequel, a bloody spoof of high school comedies, and two ultraviolent, indie horror films that are most definitely not for the [...]

Well, that’s a wrap, folks. The temperature is starting to drop, the kids are back in school, and we’ve reached the end of the summer movie season. Despite a handful of pretty spectacular bombs, 2023 is on track to be the highest-grossing year at the movies since 2019 (because we [...]

Despite their mercifully short titles, this weekend’s high-profile releases are kind of a big deal. On one end you have a relatively obscure DC hero, Blue Beetle, making his big-screen debut with an all-Latino cast. On the other, we’ve got an R-rated “animated” comedy with a name brand cast that [...]

If you’re looking for one more dose of the summer movie season, a new Dracula origin story called “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” just might scratch that itch. Other than that, this weekend belongs to the indies. But don’t let that turn you off if low budget flicks aren’t [...]

Throughout the summer movie season, studios tend to stay out of each other’s way as much as possible. If three huge movies come out in the same weekend, they’re more likely to disappoint at the box office. If just one of them is released per week, the chances of them [...]

Until pretty recently, it was difficult to find high-end fashion and streetwear brands incorporating Latin American styles and designs. However, a recent boom of collaborations between brands, celebrities and major retailers are giving Latino designers a lot more visibility, and consumers are being exposed to Latin-inspired fashion like never before. [...]

We’re back to the blockbusters and this one isn’t like any of the others, mostly because it stars Tom Cruise. The “Mission: Impossible” franchise is undeniably one of the most impressive collections of action films ever made, thanks to Cruise’s refusal to compromise. The latest and penultimate installment, “Dead Reckoning, [...]

The release of “Bumblebee,” in 2018, marked a major shift in the “Transformers” franchises, which always performed well commercially but never really won favor with critics. Its spin-off, set in the late 1980s, redirected the franchise into something more character driven and intimate — well, as intimate as a “Transformers” [...]
