Heroes Reborn's finale Project Reborn might be the last episode of Heroes altogether. But is it any good?
This review contains spoilers.
1.13 Project Reborn
With Project Reborn marking not only the end of Heroes Reborn but, in all likelihood, the conclusion of Heroes as a television franchise, an unenviable responsibility rests upon Tim Kring and co. to sign off in style. Thankfully, it must be said that this is one hell of a way to go out.
Arguably the strongest episode of this entire 13-part run, Project Reborn is a relentless yet cohesive barrage of lump-in-throat emotion, pulsating action and fist-pumping moments. There are problems, some minor and some very much not minor, but for the most part the Heroes Reborn finale is as entertaining and gripping as could have been expected.
Naturally, this week’s body-count takes a sharp incline and first to bite the dust is Luke,...

Finally, Heroes Returns gets back to the present and clears the way for a potentially strong final act...
This review contains spoilers.
1.9 Sundae, Bloody Sundae
Luke and Joanne work out their issues over some ice cream and Matt Parkman attempts to recreate The Prisoner this week as Heroes Reborn returns to the present day with Sundae, Bloody Sundae. With all the head-scratching time travel and info-dumping from the past two episodes out of the way, Heroes Reborn gets to return to a streamlined, less hasty format as we are reacquainted with the main timeline, albeit with the addition of a few squashed butterflies. The more sedate pace is a pleasant change of gear after the intensity of the June 13th two-parter and it’s a relief to be back in more familiar territory and to catch up with the characters who took a back seat for the flashback episodes.

You'd need superpowers of your own to keep up with the non-step revelations and character connections in Heroes Reborn...
This review contains spoilers.
1.8 June 13th Part Two
While last week’s instalment of June 13th was impressive for the most part, a lot of time was spent putting the events of the series into context and moving the various pieces of the show into position ready for Heroes Reborn’s final act. Anyone expecting part two to be the pay-off to last week’s set-up will be left disappointed however, as this week’s outing continues in much the same vein of relentlessly rapid story progression.
Once again, the revelations are non-stop and with time-travel shenanigans at the core of the episode, patching everything together is quite the mental workout. Keeping track of each character connection and timeline alteration after only one viewing would surely require the...

Ryan Guzman stars in the 80s adaptation of the hit animated show, Jem And The Holograms out October 23, and you can also catch him on NBC’s Heroes Reborn as Carlos Gutierrez aka El Vengador. CineMovie’s Ethan Falk sat down with the rising star to talk his love of Mma fighting, how he’s using those skills in Heroes Reborn and why he’s not giving up on one day fighting in the octagon as a Ufc fighter. He’s also giving us the scoop on what is was like being the only male among the all-female cast in Jems And The Hologram.

Heroes Reborn advances its story considerably in this week's solid, surprisingly emotional episode, The Lion's Den...
This review contains spoilers.
1.5 The Lion's Den
After last week’s patchy venture, Heroes Reborn is very much back on the up with The Lion’s Den. Secrets are revealed, characters are developed and the story advances considerably, all at a pleasantly galloping pace. The episode never lingers on one plotline too long and characters don’t outstay their welcome but unlike the series’ opening episode, there is no sense of ‘information overload’ anymore.
Five episodes deep, viewers are now familiar with the cast and acclimatised to the state of events in the Heroes universe and so moving along at near-breakneck speed (compared to previous seasons anyway) is no bad thing.
One thing Heroes Reborn has had massive success with is forcing its audience to sympathise with characters initially introduced as antagonists.

Heroes Reborn has improved since its opening double-bill with this briskly paced impressive third episode...
This review contains spoilers.
1.3 Under The Mask
Last week’s Heroes Reborn double bill was, without question, a solid opening but was obliged to carry the weight of character introductions and the standard start-of-season admin duties. With that out of the way, Under The Mask proves to be an even more impressive venture and a thoroughly entertaining episode reminiscent of the character-driven, interlacing story that originally attracted many fans to Heroes.
Any concerns over how the many plotlines kicked into motion last week could be sufficiently covered within the 13-episode run are quickly put to bed thanks to the brisk pace evident in episode three. An awful lot of ground is covered for all of our primary characters but at no point do proceedings feel rushed and whereas episodes one and two were cluttered at times,...

A look back at 2012 reveals an undeniable fact, it has been a great year for Latino film. Sundance started the year off strong with films like Aurora Guerrero’s sweet and tender Mosquita y Mari and Marialy Rivas’ rambunctious Joven y Alocada (Young & Wild). Gina Rodriguez broke out in Filly Brown, as a rapper who needs to make it big so she can raise money to get her mom out of jail. In the film, Jenni Rivera played the part of Filly’s mom in her first, and sadly last, movie role.
There was also a strong Latin American presence at Cannes this past summer, boasting films from Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. It might as well have been called Mexi-Cannes, with Mexican films winning awards across all main sections of the festival. Carlos Reygadas was honored as the Best Director for his controversial film Post Tenebras Lux, despite having received boos at its premiere screening. The prize for the Critics’ Week section went to Aquí y Allá (Here and There) and Después de Lucía (After Lucia) won the top prize for Un Certain Regard.
It’s been an especially favorable year for Chilean cinema. The New York Film Festival, in its 50th edition this past Fall, included three highly anticipated films by Pablo Larraín, Valeria Sarmiento, and the late Raúl Ruiz. And Chile continued to outshine the rest of the region by winning two top spots at the Festival Internacional de Nuevo Cine Latino de La Habana (the Havana Film Festival) just a few days ago. Pablo Larraín’s No, starring Gael Garcia Bernal, won the First Coral Prize. It’s a brilliant take on the real life story of an advertising campaign that ousted General Pinochet from power during a shining moment in Chilean politics. Violeta se fue a los cielos (Violeta Went To Heaven), a biopic about internationally famous Violeta de la Parra, a Chilean singer, songwriter, and poet won the Second Prize.
Whether it was at Cannes, Sundance, or countless other festivals, Latino films were winning award after award this year and even getting distribution (albeit usually in limited release). With the flurry of activity surrounding the region’s filmmaking, it can be hard to keep up with it all. Thankfully, there are professionals who get paid to keep track of what movies are receiving accolades, have the most buzz, and got picked up for distribution. LatinoBuzz went straight to the experts, film programmers, to ask, “What’s your top 5 Latino films of 2012?”
Carlos Gutierrez, Co-Founder and Director of Cinema Tropical
In no particular order, a list of five Latin American films that made it to Us screens in the past year (some of them are a couple of years old), which I highly recommend.
De Jueves a Domingo (Thursday Till Sunday), Director: Dominga Sotomayor, Chile
O Som ao Redor (Neighboring Sounds), Director: Kleber Mendonça Filho, Brazil
El Estudiante, Director: Santiago Mitre, Argentina
El Velador, Director: Natalia Almada, Mexico
El Lugar Más Pequeño (The Tiniest Place), Director: Tatiana Huezo, Mexico/El Salvador
Juan Caceres, Director of Programming at the New York International Latino Film Festival
Mosquita y Mari is a gorgeous film full of heart. Marialy Rivas (Director of Joven y Alocada) is an incredibly exciting new voice in Latin American cinema. She's fearless and full of love. I'm a huge fan of Lucy Mulloy (Director of Una Noche). She draws these wonderful performances from non-professional actors. A natural at using the lens to tell a story. In Las Malas Intenciones Fatima Buntinx plays the lead perfectly. Andres Wood made a beautiful film called 'Machuca', that captured the soul of Chile in the 70's and he does the same with a bio-pic of Violeta Parra, a folk singer who was a part of 'La Nueva Canción Chilena'.
Mosquita y Mari, Director: Aurora Guerrero, USA
Joven y Alocada (Young and Wild), Director: Marialy Rivas, Chile

Las Malas Intenciones (The Bad Intentions), Director: Rosario García-Montero, Perú

Just 5?? That's tough! In Filly Brown, Gina Rodriguez turns in a great performance, and I expect to see more great things from her very soon. No, I saw at Cannes, and it was fascinating, especially in contrast to Larraín's previous (amazing) films. La Hora Cero has unforgettable scenes and characters! La Mujer de Ivan has amazing acting, and I believe Maria de Los Angeles Garcia is definitely a talent to watch. Reportero is also fantastic.

Candy Crowley took a look at the Latino vote on this week's State of the Union. Noting how strongly the president performed among Hispanic voters, she observed how Mitt Romney's winning only 27 percent of the Latino vote is "worrisome" for the party and "close to hurtful" for Hispanic Republicans. Carlos Gutierrez, who led the Romney campaign's Hispanic outreach, was invited to respond. And he wasn't pleased.
