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 →

The force is massively strong within her,Read More →

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 →

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.
