Originally published as a serialized adventure in “The Saturday Evening Post,” Jack London’s “The Call of the Wild” has been seen as a classic American story of adventure since 1903.
“Dolittle” (2020) brings a new telling of a classic story that many know and love from childhood. Even if you didn’t watch the original film from 1967 or the retelling in 1998, I can still bet that as a child, you tried to speak to animals — or at least wished you could.
“Cats” (2019), directed by Tom Hooper, is a modern telling of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved musical about a tribe of cats called the ‘Jellicles’ coming together for their yearly meeting to see which cat will be chosen to ascend to the “Heaviside Layer” and come back to a new life.
“America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Now that quote may be a joke, but 20th Century Fox’s newest film, “Ford v Ferrari,” sure isn’t.
In 2013, Walt Disney Animation Studios caught lightning in a bottle with the release of “Frozen.” Can they do it again with “Frozen 2”? In my opinion, they did even better the second time around.
“Doctor Sleep” isn’t just a sequel, it’s a deeper explanation of “The Shining”. It brings new life to the horror with more gruesome consequences. “Doctor Sleep” ends a story that already ended, but with a now-complete cycle of death, fear and life after our own.
While I remember enjoying the 2014 live-action reimagining of Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty,” “Maleficent,” I could barely remember the details of the world-building and went into “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” with pretty low expectations. Luckily, the film exceeded them.
“Joker,” directed by Todd Phillips, follows Arthur Fleck through a story about mental illness and finding a purpose, showing the tragic events that pushed him to become the clown prince of crime we all know and love.
IT Chapter 2 is the fulfilling finale to one of the greatest horror stories of this generation. This clown teaches a better life lesson than most family stories in this epic tale of self-discovery and letting go of the pains of the past. This spoiler free review will talk about the overarching feeling of the film…
I only enjoyed watching “The Lion King” (2019) because I haven’t watched the 1994 film since I was probably at most 9 or 10 years old, and even still, I would have preferred to rewatch the original.
