Some dreams come at a heavy price in All She Can
Interview & Photos by: Alfonso De Elias. All She Can in an American story that has a patriotic Mexican-american community in Texas that has been there since before all the military recruiters roam high school halls. Benavides Texas is the frame of this story. Corina Calderon spoke with GalaTView about her character (Luz Garcia) who played the main role”
“Luz sees her way out because comes from a family that has a lack of money and being accepted in a University that demands a lot of money which is one of her challenges. So she has few options in her way. In my opinion, the principal encourages her to keep going in her goals and is protective; unfortunately, her background makes her to take some bad decisions. In Luz case’ s she is in the school sports because she wants to be in a team and being more qualified in sports due she can get support from her school and finally go to the University. Luz has to deal with the weights with no more options. In that sense to get a medal is not the best prize for her. She has to handle the weights pushing them through her life. I practiced for about four hours per day and when I was squading, I had to back off for protecting my knees and my back and lots of people were taking care of me. Personally, I like to walk and practice jogging and yoga.”
What do you think about some cast who speak few words in Spanish? “It was a good opportunity for us show some latinos and we wanted to show our shine with a authentic true story and reflects all the conflicts that most of us have to face. It was very important have them there and have made this story very enspire and real.”

The Guard is a comedic fish out of water tale of murder, blackmail, drug trafficking and rural police corruption. Sergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town Irish cop with a confrontational personality, with his own moral code. With a high sense of humor, he has to face different situations with the humorless FBI agent Wendell Everett who came for a large trafficking investigation that will have an explosive final.
Can you imagine having a double or a twin with the same physical appearance but not the same behavior?

Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate’s The Devil’s Double takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Bagdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein’s palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the “royal family” when he’s ordered to become the ‘fiday’ – or body double – to Saddam’s son, the notorious “Black Prince” Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality. With his and his family’s lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of the Black Prince’s psychotic, drug-addled life of fast cars, easy women and impulsive violence. With one wrong move costing him his life, Latif forges an intimate bond with Sarrab (Ludivine Sangier), Uday’s seductive mistress who’s haunted by her own secrets. But as war looms with Kuwait and Uday’s depraved gangster regime threatens to destroy them all, Latif realizes that escape from the devil’s den will only come at the highest possible cost.
The Devil’s Double is a dynamic, chilling adaptation of Latif Yahia’s autobiographical novel, charting one man’s defiant struggle to survive a viper’s pit of corruption and brutality.

Point Blank (A Bout Portant), a taut and gritty suspense thriller from France written and directed by Fred Cavayé, starring Gilles Lellouche, Roschdy Zem, Gérard Lanvin and Elena Anaya. Selected in the Spotlight section of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.
This movie is a French thriller full of action, where some persecutions are the main ingredient. This story describes the corruption of some gangs and how they want to blame a man like the main target. Samuel (Lellouche) is a happily married nurse working in a Paris hospital. When his very pregnant wife (Anaya) is kidnapped before his helpless eyes, everything falls apart. After being knocked unconscious, he comes to and his cell phone rings: he has three hours to get Sartet (Zem), a man under police surveillance, out of the hospital. So this is an exhilarating non-stop ride through Paris’ streets, subways, hospitals, warehouses, and police stations, as Samuel quickly finds himself pitted against rival gangsters and trigger-happy police in a deadly race to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. Certainly is a good movie that can not be missed in theaters.
