Hakuna Matata. This prequel is better than the last time. 30 years have passed and Disney’s 1994 animated musical “The Lion King” is still roaring strong with fans. And the loss of […]
Mufasa: The Lion King
Carry On
A holiday thriller that’s TSA approved. From “Red Eye” to “Nonstop,” we’re sure getting entertained by these airplane thrillers, and yet, a majority of us are still able to fly. So, why […]
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
Not really my precious. “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” is the first theatrical animated LOTR movie since Ralph Bakshi’s take in 1978. Only it’s made by Japanese […]
Kraven the Hunter
This Marvel movie sucks-ski. When “Venom” came out, I despised it, but it became a box office hit and created two better sequels (which isn’t saying much). When “Morbius” came out, the […]
The Order
An entertaining cat and mouse game between the law and the neo-Nazi group. With movies like “Heat” or “Hell or High Water,” we get riveting perspectives from both the bank robbers and […]
The End
This apocalyptic musical doesn’t hit all the right notes. “The End” is a musical directed by Joshua Oppenheimer (“The Act of Killing,” “The Look of Silence”) and set after the end of […]
Flow
A magical animated movie without words, just animals and visuals. How would a black cat, a capybara, a yellow lab dog, a white secretary bird, and a lemur actually survive in a […]

Dear Santa
A lump of coal of a satanic holiday feature. Here’s the premise for “Dear Santa.” A kid with a learning disability writes a letter to Santa, but accidentally spells “SATAN,” instead of […]
Hot Frosty
This snowman is somebody you want to build. The Frosty the Snowman story I grew up with was the 1969 Rankin/Bass animated special with Jimmy Durante narrating. It took a magic hat […]
