Movie Review: The Lion King (2019)

I don’t even know what to say. Or why to bother. To stare into the void that is Disney’s soul-sucked remake of its cinematic safari The Lion King is to come face to face with a profound and overwhelming sense of meaninglessness. It’s the same movie they released in 1994, only worse in all ways…

Movie Trailer: The Lion King (2019)

The continued effort to update and bring “live-action” realism to their classics (e.g., “Dumbo,” “The Jungle Book,” “Beauty and the Beast,”) continues for Disney with The Lion King. It follows the same premise as the 1994 animated feature (as well as “Kimba the White Lion” from which it was lifted) in which a young lion…

Movie Review: The Jungle Book (2016)

“Sometimes, rules are meant to be, well not necessarily broken, but certainly bent — and definitely reinterpreted; don’t you think?,” says Baloo to a bee-stung Mowgli as the man-cub angrily makes his way to the man-village where, as his sage mentor Bagheera has indicated, he must go back to if he wants to avoid a…

Movie Review: Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

Anyone who has read my review for 2010’s misfire, “Jonah Hex,” knows that I love genre-mashing. I adore it especially if it’s something being meshed with a Western. Now imagine my glee when I heard Cowboys & Aliens being announced. Then came out that Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, and Paul Dano…

Movie Trailer #2: Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

Ride ’em cowboy! The latest trailer for Cowboys & Aliens has arrived. Based off of a successful graphic novel, the movie tells the tale of Absolution, an old West town, and their fight against invading aliens. Easier said than done (aliens have spaceships and lasers, Westerners have horses and Colt 45s), that is until a…

Movie Trailer: Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

The trailer for John Favreau’s highly anticipated adaptation of the graphic novel by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, Cowboys & Aliens, has arrived. While it is filled to the brim with alien crafts, abductions and gun fights (Colt 6-shooters versus lasers), it still keeps how the the aliens appear masked and leaves the mysterious backstories for the…
