Movie Review: BLACK IS KING

BLACK IS KING Director: Beyoncé Knowles-CarterStarring: Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Jay-Z, Kelly Rowland, Pharrell Williams, Lupita Nyong’o In my opinion, Beyoncé is one of the greatest artists of her generation. With each musical project she elevates her style and sound to new heights. Her new film, Black is King, is also considered a visual album and is streaming on Disney+. Last year, Beyoncé provided the voice of Nala in the remake of The Lion King. She also provided a new song for the film called “Spirit” and an accompanying album of inspired music called “The Gift” With Black is King she continues to use The Lion KingRead More →

Movie Review: STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Director: J.J. AbramsStarring: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Billy Dee Williams, Ian McDiarmid, Kelly Marie Tran, Carrie Fisher How do you end a saga after three trilogies? Director J.J. Abrams does just that with a satisfying conclusion in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Adam Driver is out for blood as Kylo Ren. His rage is stronger than ever before. He’s massively greedy and with the return of Emperor Palpatine, he knows he can potentially rule the galaxy. Rey (Ridley) is continuing on in her Jedi training. The force is massively strong within her,Read More →

Movie Review: US

US Writer/Director: Jordan PeeleStarring: Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex Jordan Peele surprised audiences with his film Get Out. For a comedy actor, he proved he had the knack for directing horror while adding a social commentary not often found in the genre. He cements his voice in the genre with his new film Us. Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, both of whom starred in Black Panther, play a married couple who take their kids on a summer vacation to a beach home in Santa Cruz. As a kid Adelaide, suffered severe PTSD after an incident in aRead More →

Movie Review: BLACK PANTHER

BLACK PANTHER Director: Ryan Coogler Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Sterling K. Brown, Angela Bassett, Daniel Kaluuya, Forest Whitaker We were first introduced to Black Panther, played exceptionally well by Chadwick Boseman, in Captain America: Civil War. Marvel has now given the character his own standalone film to build on his backstory and legacy. As we saw in the previous movie, T’Challa/Black Panther’s father was killed at the United Nations explosion. T’Challa is now the rightful heir to the throne taking his place as the new king of the African nation, Wakanda. He’s inRead More →

Movie Review: THE JUNGLE BOOK

THE JUNGLE BOOK Director: Jon Favreau Starring: Neel Sethi, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Scarlett Johansson, Giancarlo Esposito, Christopher Walken, Garry Shandling In the past few years Disney has created “live action” versions of some of their animated classics. With each successful one come more rumored projects like Dumbo and Peter Pan that are in the development stage. If they continue on this upward trend, I have faith in those projects. Last year’s film Cinderella was a complete and utter joy, and now Disney will have another slam dunk on their hands with The Jungle Book. After the death of his father,Read More →

Movie Review: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Director: J.J. Abrams Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendolyn Christie, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong’o, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew Where do you even begin when talking about a movie that is probably the biggest, most highly anticipated film of what? The last year? The last decade? It’s a film shrouded in extreme secrecy and comes with huge expectations. The Star Wars prequels left fans disappointed. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is back to the Star Wars we know and love. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Hamill) has gone missing, and everyone, especiallyRead More →

Abrams Starring: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie, Max Von Sydow           I can’t really think of a better person to take over the Star Wars empire than J.J. Abrams. He always felt like the right choice to me. I’ve been following the rumors, casting notices, and set photos, and it all seemed right to me.  After watching this teaser trailer for Episode VII a couple of times now, I think fans should rest assured that this willRead More →
