It's rare that I watch a Disney film, much less a Disney Christmas film, and turn to the person sitting next to me and say "what was that" and no, it wasn't in amazement. It was a very perplexed WTF reaction to a particular sequence that I just- I don't know- it was weird, yo. But I suppose there is a first time for everything and "The Nutcracker and The Four Realms" definitely is ... … [Read more...]

Morgan Freeman On The New Adaptation of “Ben-Hur”
They don't call Morgan Freeman, the "voice of God", for nothing. He has been narrating documentaries, films and more since the early 90's, and often times playing a character and the narrator in films like, The Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby and more. He is the voice in our heads that narrates our choices and, if you're Hillary Clinton, the story of our life. So, it almost feels a … [Read more...]
REVIEW: NOW YOU SEE ME 2 – The Magic Has Disappeared
Director Jon M. Chu is known for his skill and infectious exuberance. He’s made us like Justin Bieber with not just one, but two documentaries on the Joffrey of pop music (NEVER SAY NEVER and BELIEVE).

But it’s not been all … [Read more...]
REVIEW: LONDON HAS FALLEN Prey To Right Wing Sentiments

Morgan Freeman and Dr Patricia Wright Talk Island of Lemurs: Madagascar
The first time I ever even heard of a lemur was when I watched 2005's animated feature Madagascar when a tribe of lemurs, led by their King, sang and danced to "I Like To Move It." That song, and those characters became a household name and children everywhere giggle over the hilarious and cute lemurs in that movie. If you were a child of the 90's, then maybe you remember a PBS show called … [Read more...]
