Friday, 24 June 2016 05:20 By William F. Fulginiti Executive Director, NM Municipal League

As elected city leaders, New Mexico Municipal League members understand the importance of creating jobs in a state where recovery from the 2008-2009 recession has been slow at best.

Anesthesia - A professor at Columbia University is brutally attacked at the outset of this indie drama. The movie then follows the many troubled lives of the people he intersected with before the violent incident. Despite a big cast, critics were not taken at all with the feature. They found the characters and situations inauthentic and complained that events weren’t really pulled together to make a cohesive or thematic whole. It stars Glenn Close, K. Todd...

It seems as though the secret agent genre has been undergoing something of a resurgence recently, with titles like Kingsman: The Secret Service, Spy, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Spectre and Bridge of Spies hitting cinemas over the past year. Central Intelligence is the latest effort to hit the big screen. It has its moments, but compared to the others listed, opts to pick lower-hanging fruit from the branch.

Calvin (Kevin Hart) was once the shining star of his high school, destined for greatness. Now a mild-manned accountant, he can't help but feel disappointed at...
