Mean Girls

Mean Girls

The Mean Girls are back! Well…kind of…but not really. It has been 20 years since Mean Girls became an overnight cult classic. This 2024 version is not a sequel and not even a reboot, but more of a musical makeover. If anything, this seemed more like a cinematic version of the Broadway musical that ran ..

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the 2nd installment in DC Comic’s Aquaman series.  While the film boasts a lot of the fun sequences and visuals of the first film, it had one major flaw that held it back.  This film continues the story of Aquaman and the oceans surrounding him.  This time Aquaman is ..

The Color Purple

The Color Purple

I must admit that I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect in the new film The Color Purple.  The subject matter seemed tough for a musical.  And the director, Blitz Bazawule, really didn’t have much under his belt to prepare myself for this film.  I assumed the singing would be spot on as we all ..

Wish

Wish

Disney’s latest animated effort, Wish, brings an original cast with a very familiar story line – A heroine looking to fulfill her destiny, a musical introduction to a new place, a cute animal best friend, some comedic sidekicks, a lot of magic, and an over-the-top villain. We have seen different versions of this story before ..

Trolls Band Together

Trolls Band Together

Trolls Band Together is the latest edition in the Trolls collection.  It follows Branch as he tries to locate his long-lost brothers so that they can save their brother Floyd.  In order to save Floyd, the brothers must sing the perfect melody.  Along the way we are introduced to many new characters like Viva, Veneer, ..

The Creator

The Creator

The Creator is a fantastic dive into the Sci-fi world. It also really hits home right now with the focus of the film on AI. The director, Gareth Edwards, joked that though the film takes place in 2065 it feels like it might be taking place now. The story has a few twists and turns ..

A Haunting in Venice

A Haunting in Venice

A Haunting in Venice is a solid, well done “Who Done It” blast from the past movie that is good but not great. The all around acting and post World War II Venice staging is fine, but there is really nothing “exciting” or memorable from the entire film. The story is that detective/sleuth Hercule Poirot(Kenneth ..

Heart of Stone

Heart of Stone

Netflix’s new film called Heart of Stone is another action-packed summer film.  It felt like a lower budget Mission Impossible film with a female lead instead of Tom Cruise.  The film has a lot of action and adventure.  It’s a shame this is a Netflix release that will be seen primarily at home.  This is ..

Shortcomings

Shortcomings

Shortcomings is the directorial debut of Randal Scott and this movie proves that he may have a pretty bright future as a director. The interesting thing about this movie is that every character that we are introduced to is flawed in some way. The most flawed, however, is main character Ben (Justin Min) whose anger, ..
