Directed by Jon Favreau, “The Lion King “ is a live action remake of 1994’s Oscar winning iconic classic cartoon.

This being said, fans of straight up monster vs monster mayhem will love this iteration for sure. Yes, the plot ..

Ok so here we go! With so much flack this film has received since the teaser trailer of a blue Will Smith. I was not only not looking for much, but had a film critic in training with me, my 8 year old daughter. Now, unlike her I grew up seeing the animated original ..

Full Disclosure: Before this movie, I’d only seen Pikachu in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. As it turns out, the character is every bit as adorably adventurous in Pokémon Detective Pikachu as he appears floating down the streets of New York in balloon form. From the very onset of the film, I knew there were ..

So in recent years there has been a raise in truly terrifying films lurking in the dark. Films such as Hereditary, The Babadook, The Witch, The Eyes of My Mother and the arrestingly weird Suspiria are all the products of indie visionaries spinning their relatively small budgets into gold.
