If You Feel You’ve Lost Your Magic, Watch ‘Onward’

Disney and Pixar have highlighted the magic of brotherly love with their latest production of “Onward.” Ian Lightfoot, voiced by Tom Holland, and Barley Lightfoot, voiced by Chris Pratt, make an excellent duo as the lead characters. The film is intense with A-list voice acting, emotional family moments, epic fantasy adventure and great music. Elf brothers Ian and Barley live in a world where spells and wizardry have faded due to technological innovations making for a simpler life. On...

‘Bad Boys for Life’ is the Best of the Baddest

In “Bad Boys for Life” Will Smith and Martin Lawrence make an impressive comeback. This time, it moved further away from the takedown of drug lords and transitioned to discussions about building families, which makes the Bad Boys more human. While it is tiring to see the Latino villain stereotype, the film makes up for it with its soundtrack and its friendly moments between the two lead characters and the younger new cast members, played by Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig and Charl...

‘Charlie’s Angels’ Has an Unoriginal Storyline, but is Still Ready to Fly

After over 16 years since the last film in the “Charlie’s Angels” series, Sony introduces some new, younger generation Angels, with a plot similar to other spy-comedy films. However, with powerful chemistry, feminist ideas and fast-paced fighting sequences, Charlie’s Angels are still ready to spread their wings and fly. In “Charlie’s Angels,” Sabina Wilson, Elena Houghlin and Jane Kano, played by Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, are brought togeth...

‘Dark Phoenix’ is a Flawed, Yet Decent Entry to the X-Men Series

“Dark Phoenix” is not the perfect conclusion to the long-running “X-Men” film series. It borrows a few elements from the franchise’s earlier films, particularly “The Last Stand” and “First Class.” Familiarity aside, the cast brings out their strongest performances in the end for director Simon Kinberg’s debut. “Dark Phoenix” takes place nearly 10 years after “Apocalypse.” The film focuses on Jean Grey, played by ...

‘Avengers: Endgame’ is Jam-Packed with Action and Emotion

Seven years ago, Nick Fury said the Avengers would return after defeating Loki because we’ll need them to. He was right, and we needed them to come together one last time to defeat Thanos. Marvel has really outdone themselves in the fourth film of the ultimate superhero team. Through powerful acting performances and chemistry, flashy action, special effects and emotional storylines, “Avengers: Endgame” is an excellent crossover finish to “Infinity War.” The cast and...

Zachary Levi Says ‘Shazam!,’ Audiences Say ‘Awesome’

Zachary Levi and Warner Bros. Pictures put their best foot forward in “Shazam!” With excessive humor, action and heartwarming stories about family, it is a superhero film worth watching. As much as I liked watching “Wonder Woman,” “Justice League” and “Aquaman,” I think this might be the best entry to the DC Extended Universe. The film is about a teenager named Billy Batson, played by Asher Angel, who struggles with being separated from his mother ...

‘Creed II’ Fights to Entertain

While some may think of its plot as too familiar, I found “Creed II” to be a gratifying exhibition of boxing and drama all at once. Recycling old elements of the previous “Rocky” films allowed Michael B. Jordan’s title character to mature for the better, both in and out of the ring. By working with the right cast, discussions on family and fighting sequences for the story, “Creed II” was an enjoyable and exhilarating watch. After fighting and losing gracefully to “Pretty...
