Movie review: Shakira’s songs in “Love in the Time of Cholera” adds nice touch
(AP): Much of the great joy of reading a Colombian author like Gabriel García Marquez is the fact that you’re reading him—that you’re allowing yourself to become engrossed in his

John Ortiz hace papel “extremo” en “American Gangster”

Movie review: ‘American Gangster’
NEW YORK (AP): So perhaps “American Gangster,” Ridley Scott’s much-anticipated mobster epic, doesn’t have a single original idea in its head, with its unshakable shades of “Scarface” and “Serpico” and “Superfly.” And maybe it’s a half-hour too long—this time of year, what film with awards ambitions isn’t?
