    “Artemis Fowl” is foul, “7500” is stuck in the past, and “Babyteeth” will rattle you. More about Artemis Fowl Considering the amount of talent in “Artemis Fowl” on Disney+, the decent source material, and the big budget, it’s kind of amazing how badly they botched it up. Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Judi Dench, Josh Gad,…

    “Frozen 2” fails to melt hearts the same way as its smash hit predecessor, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” is more like an okay day that leans too much on an audience being familiar with its source material, and “The Report” is some heavy political fodder about ineffective government inquiries at probably the wrong…

    Double sequel week! Both “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”  and “Zombieland: Double Tap” are inferior to their predecessors. This all begs the question: Can we not just stop with the unnecessary sequels please?!  More about Maleficent: Mistress of Evil “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” is about on par with the first, meaning mediocre when it’s at its…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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, Meryl…

    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…

    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…
