Review; The Lion King (2019)
This week brings the 2019 remake of “The Lion King” which was one of the most unnecessary things I’ve ever seen. Since it’s so close to the original I take a super in depth look at why this remake is a failure (but a failure that will unfortunately probably make ridiculous amounts of money). ”The…

Review: Disney Nature’s Penguins
Steve the penguin is the hero we deserve with this week’s “Disney Nature’s Penguins” documentary. I am a sucker for a nature doc and “Disney Nature’s Penguins” is no exception. Narrated by Ed Helms, the film follows Steve the penguin during his trials and tribulations as he navigates the world and responsibilities of having to…

Review: Dumbo and The Beach Bum
This week brings the Tim Burton disaster “Dumbo” and the equally disappointing “The Beach Bum.” Why Disney decided to allow the remake of “Dumbo” I will never know. Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, Michael Keaton, and Alan Arkin star. Then there’s the self indulgent madness trip that is “The Beach Bum” Matthew McConaughey, Isla…

Review: Mary Poppins Returns, Aquaman, and Bumblebee
Let’s take a look at three of the films vying for your Christmas holiday box office dollars with “Mary Poppins Returns” “Aquaman” and “Bumblebee.” While Emily Blunt delivers a spoonful of sugar in “Mary Poppins Returns” there’s something still off-putting about the medicine the film delivers. In spite of a supporting cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda,…

Robin Hood, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Green Book
This holiday weekend brings several films vying for your time and money, including the latest “Robin Hood” remake, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” and “Green Book.” “Robin Hood” should have been a starring vehicle for Taron Egerton but ends up being a medieval hot mess instead. He’s better off sticking to his Kingsman tailored suit than…

Baywatch, Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
It’s a nautical Memorial Day weekend in store, unfortunately they are both shipwrecks. Prepare for lots of water themed jokes. My beloved Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron lead the Baywatch squad. In spite of their individual charm, and a ton of slow motion, Baywatch is a flop. Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Ilfenesh…

Beauty and the Beast, T2 Trainspotting
It’s an Ewan McGregor double feature this week, with Disney’s live action remake of “Beauty and the Beast” and the 21 years in the making sequel, “T2 Trainspotting.” Disney has apparently decided nothing is sacred from their historic vault, and has decided to remake their animated classic film “Beauty and the Beast.” They often recreate…

Moana, Allied
A special early Thanksgiving set of reviews! This week brings the latest 3D Disney animated feature, “Moana” and the Brad Pitt/Marion Cotillard WW2 spy film “Allied.” Let’s start with the good review, Moana. I really enjoyed this film, I’m biased/tend to enjoy animated films but as usual Disney has created a charming and accessible film.…
