MOVIE REVIEW: Is ‘Haunted Mansion’ Good Enough for Diehard Disney Parks Fans?

HM

If you are a fan of The Haunted Mansion attraction, you are probably wondering if director Justin Simien and his crew took care by including a lot of characters and experiences from the classic Disney attraction. They do get the look of The Haunted Mansion right, but that’s about the only good thing in the … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny’ — Fifth Time A Charm?

IJ

Whoever thought we would see Harrison Ford donning his old hat, leather jacket, and whip again? For some reason, Harrison Ford was on board and wanted to give playing Indy one more go. After so many delays, COVID, and re-shoots, the fifth movie in The Indiana Jones franchise is finally upon us. And there were … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Elemental’ — Romeo And Juliet Meets Zootopia

Elemental characters

I wasn’t expecting much from “Elemental.” Starting with “The Last Dinosaur,” the films (with the exception of “Coco”) lacked the quality storytelling that Pixar was always known for. All the trailers for “Elemental” were underwhelming, and it seemed that Pixar was about to give us another movie that focused on being overly preachy instead of … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’ — Mind Blowing Sequel Doesn’t Disappoint

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

THIS… is how you make a movie. The people behind “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” understand the most important aspect of a good movie: the story always has to come first. Phil Lord and Chris Miller wrote this movie, and a lot of credit has to go to them for its success. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ — A Dark Movie That Wraps Up The Franchise Nicely

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

I loved the first “Guardians of The Galaxy” movie. What makes it so great is that James Gunn did more with less. Most people didn’t know who the Guardians of the Galaxy were, and it was a really hard sell. The movie got good reviews and positive word of mouth from audiences, and it became … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Peter Pan and Wendy’ — A Very Different Story

Peter Pan y Wendya

After watching “Peter Pan and Wendy,” I finally get why Disney is making live action remakes of their animated classics. It’s not to honor the original, but to correct the problems that some people have with the original. And by doing so, they show it is Disney who has the biggest problem with the original … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ — Not the Best Start for Phase Five

ant man and the wasp quantumania critics share their first reactions on twitter 01

Spoilers ahead for “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Right off the bat, one thing that “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” has going for it is Kang. He’s undoubtedly the best villain in the MCU since Thanos, and Jonathan Majors is a great actor that we’ll be glad to have around for a long time. It’s … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Strange World’ — Another Mediocre Effort By Disney

strange world

Do you remember when Disney used to make classic animated movies? It seems like a long time ago to me. In my opinion, the last good animated movie by Disney was “Zootopia,” and the last one by Pixar was “Coco.” Now it seems that Disney just doesn’t give thought or put care into the most … Read more

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ — Not A Very Worthy Successor To The King

wakanda forever poster button 1664815714839

Disney needs to learn something very important. When an actor or an actress dies, that does not mean the character they are playing in a movie should die too. It was very sad for everyone to hear the news that Chadwick Boseman passed away at such a young age, but I am sure that he … Read more

REVIEW: “Pinocchio” — Some Things Are Better Left Alone

pinocchio

I remember the day when I first saw Pinocchio as a kid. During the summer, my local theater would show a double feature of a classic Disney animated film and a live action film. One particular Wednesday, the Disney double feature was Pinocchio and The Apple Dumpling Gang. I had never seen either and was … Read more

Chris Hemsworth returns as Thor in his fourth solo outing as the God of Thunder. This time around, he has a little help from his ex-girlfriend, Jane Foster. Jane, played by Natalie Portman, also has the power of Thor — and it’s going to take the both of them to stop Gorr the God Butcher … Read more

REVIEW: ‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ — Welcome Back, Classic MCU!

Doctor Strange Poster

Phase 4 for the MCU began with the release of the long-delayed “Black Widow.” It was then followed by the releases of “Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings,” “Eternals,” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Although they were good movies, none of them blew me away (yes, that includes “No Way Home”). If you … Read more

REVIEW: ‘Turning Red’; A Nice Coming of Age Story that Tackles Some Deep Issues

Turning Red

Sometimes you are looking forward to seeing a movie. You have really high expectations, the trailers were great, and then once the film is over, you leave feeling disappointed. Then there are other times when you are convinced that a film is going to be an absolute train-wreck. The trailers are awful, the marketing does … Read more

REVIEW: “Encanto” – A Visual Masterpiece, Just Short of a Disney Classic

encanto-4301974

Encanto is the latest film from Walt Disney Animated Studios, telling the tale of a young Colombian girl and her desire to find her place.

REVIEW: Marvel’s “Eternals” Feels Like It Lasts an Eternity, Tries to Feature Way Too Many Heroes

eternals-8-7443556

I think a lot of people are going to compare Eternals to Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 1. Guardians was a risk because unlike Captain America, Thor or Iron Man, most people had never heard of these heroes. If Guardians proved one thing, it proved that you don’t have to have A-list superheroes in order … Read more
