THE LION KING Director: Jon FavreauStarring: Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, James Earl Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, John Kani, Keegan-Michael Key, John Oliver Disney’s latest remake is their 1994 masterpiece, The Lion King. Director Jon Favreau is using the same technology and special effects he used with The Jungle Book to make the animals come to life in a photo-realistic way. The results are stunning.

KNIVES OUT Director: Rian JohnsonStarring: Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Katherine Langford, LaKeith Stanfield Rian Johnson may have received some uncalled for criticism for a little film called The Last Jedi, but I’d ignore those fanboys. I personally think he took the Star Wars franchise in an exciting new direction. His next film takes us back to the days of Agatha Christie, Clue, and Murder by Death with a good ol’ fashion murder mystery. If you ignore the lackluster Murder on the Orient Express remake, we haven’t had a good murder mystery in quite some time. It’sRead More →

They happen to collect artifacts from their hauntings. The Annabelle doll is thought to be the most evil and malevolent doll in their possession. Like theRead More →
