A near purr-fect animated sequel with great visuals and amazing stars. “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” is not only the sequel to the 2011 animated hit, which was inspired by Antonio […]
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Eye-popping stop-motion visuals and grade-A voices never lie. Two versions of “Pinocchio” have been released this year. Robert Zemeckis’ live-action remake of the 1940 Disney animated classic, which was condescending and unnecessary […]
Strange World
Dazzling colors and so many themes make Disney’s latest a fun ride. Jake Gyllenhaal and Dennis Quaid both collaborate as a son and father for the first time since “The Day After […]
Disenchanted
A nice little welcome home party for our Andalasia heroine. It’s inevitable Giselle, the young heroine of “Enchanted,” would want her live-action life to have the same kind of fairy tale magic […]
A Christmas Story Christmas
A sequel that knows it’s the thought that counts. “Mama’s Little Piggy,” “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid,” “I Triple Dog Dare You,” “BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE,” and “Fra-gee-lee.” Some […]
Hocus Pocus 2
This well-meaning sequel needs to conjure up better spells. The 1993 “Hocus Pocus” was a Halloween movie that came out in the summer, which was probably why it wasn’t a big Disney […]
Pinocchio (Disney+)
Yet another unnecessary live-action Disney remake. There have been many attempts to top the original 1940 Disney animated classic “Pinocchio,” which was taken from Carlo Collodi’s story, and many have tried and […]
DC League of Super Pets
Blandish animation gets overpowered by star-studded voices, a few censors, and some good laughs. Dwayne Johnson has been appearing in some pretty crappy movies-some more financially successful than others-like “Baywatch,” “Rampage,” “Hobbs […]
Minions: The Rise of Gru
The lowest of the “Despicable Me” movies. Some would think of the Minions as Twinkies, while I would call them cute tater tots. Even young Gru would admit that when they apply […]
Lightyear
This Buzz movie doesn’t fly, but it falls with style. There would be no doubt a solo feature of the ever popular “Toy Story” space ranger Buzz Lightyear would be green lit […]
