The journey to the dream is uplifting and rewarding for everyone wins.

City of Ghosts (in Film)
It been over 20 years since Matt Dillon made his mark as an actor in The Outsiders and now it’s his turn to do the same as a writer-director with directorial debut, City of Ghosts. While his visionary aspects to the film are impressive due to its location, the story itself is jaded with so many plot holes, comprehension is lost.

Reviewd by Wilson Morales
 
The Real Cancun (in Film)
While some may find the film off-putting like the other TV reality shows, the film itself is quite appealing and funny and should make a boatload of money from individuals who want to venture into someone else’s world.
