Vida (2018)
Not Again
I am in my 60's and I lived and worked almost my entire life in the Boyle Heights area, where this tragedy occurs. Will they ever have a program that doesn't shove down our throats every rotten stereotype in East L.A.? And in the first segment? Well there is 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back- Good Luck on this bomba
End of Watch (2012)
Best Movie of the Year
I have never taken my time to review any movie, BUT this movie warranted it. After spending over 30 years with the LAPD, mostly in Sout End Divisions, it was refreshing to see LAPD guys looking the way they are in real Time, Heroes. Finally I get to see our guys, dedicated to the job and not be some half crazed, drunks who, are gun happy and can't speak English with out some crazy accent. The party scene where the cops arrive was all too real and took me back. The acting was outstanding and even the small details, like the "boot" Officer running around looking for her shop(car). Anyway I enjoyed it- I would have preferred another ending, but as in life sometimes cops do get killed. SPOILER: I saw the movie again and to answer a question about why it took so long for back up to arrive maybe because the woman in the apartment gave the wrong address she gave out 20556 Hooper (as I heard) When the officers located their bodies, they were at 41st Place off Broadway (as I heard) man that is a LONG way away(and the numbers don't match ). The other reason is sometimes, it just takes forever. Just my 2 cents.
