LOST & FOUND IN CLEVELAND – Review by Lois Alter Mark

October 28, 2025October 31, 2025 Lois Alter Mark Dennis Haysbert, Jeff Hiller, Jon Lovitz, june squibb, Keith Gerchak, Liza Weil, Lost & Found in Cleveland, Marisa Guterman, Martin Sheen, Stacy Keach

Lost & Found in Cleveland is the kind of movie that makes you think to yourself, “They don’t make movies like that anymore” without really knowing whether that’s good or bad. The film, like so many slice of Americana films, takes place around the holidays and has that old-timey, small town vibe that makes you nostalgic for a past we’re supposed to yearn for even though it almost certainly wasn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

FLAMIN’ HOT – Review by Leslie Combemale

June 8, 2023June 8, 2023 Leslie Combemale Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, disney, Eva Longoria, Flamin' Hot, Frito-Lay, hulu, Jesse Garcia, Linda Yvette Chávez, Lynne Greenfield, Richard Montañez, Roger Enrico, Tony Shalhoub

In the moments before Eva Longoria’s feature directing debut, the 20th Century Fox fanfare plays, but the traditional score is changed to sound like a mariachi band is playing it. That’s the first sign that Flamin’ Hot is going to bring strong, fun Latin flavor to the screen. What comes next is a two hours tall tale, far from the true story of the origin of the famous Frito-Lay snack, but which is a true and often joyful celebration of Latin culture and family life.
