Scott Kreamer talks Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous

Scott Kreamer spoke with Solzy at the Movies about the new animated series, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, now streaming on Netflix. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous launches this Friday on Netflix. I found that the series keeps the spirit of the films but children are the main focus instead of adults. What do you want parents to know about the show with regards to potentially intense images? Scott Kreamer: As with all shows, parents should watch…

Misbehaviour: The Fight For Women’s Rights

Misbehaviour revisits the 1970 Miss World competition which pronounced the arrival of the Women’s Liberation Movement. The film arrives in the United States at an interesting time.  For the last few weeks, there has been much debate about Cuties.  While I’ve yet to see that film, Misbehaviour serves as a reminder that the treatment of women in society is nothing new.  All you have to do is look at these pageantry competitions–not just the ones…

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Season 5 on Blu-ray

The most bonkers show on television, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Fifth Season, is now available for viewers to watch on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Stargirl were anomalies in the Arrowverse in that they got to finish their seasons.  Unlike the other series, the story arc presented here is complete. The Legends certainly got to have quite a bit of fun this season.  Even though things took a turn…

Full Metal Jacket Arrives on 4K Ultra HD

Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 Vietnam War classic, Full Metal Jacket, arrives on 4K Ultra HD over three decades after its theatrical release. While a recluse at home, Kubrick is also one of the all-time greats behind the camera.  It shows through in films such as Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Spartacus to name a few.  Full Metal Jacket is certainly no exception.  Kubrick works the camera as only he can. The 4K remaster is…

Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story

Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story takes us behind the scenes to give stunt performers their due in this action documentary. If you don’t pay attention to the credits, there’s a good chance you don’t know their names.  It’s more than a good chance, honestly, because let’s face it–you’re already rushing out of the theater when the credits roll.  Unless it’s Marvel or DC so that you can see the post-credits scene.  But these are the…

Secret Society of Second-Born Royals Is Fun

Disney looks to launch a new X-Men-esque franchise set in the world of royalty by way of Secret Society of Second-Born Royals. What does it mean to be a second-born royal?  For one, it means never acquiring the throne barring a death of an older sibling.  Will this mean acting out in life?  Sam (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), a princess of Illyria, isn’t exactly the perfect princess.  She’s a rebel and against the monarchy so to…

New York FF 2020: MLK/FBI

MLK/FBI becomes the first feature-length documentary to really examine the FBI’s surveillance and harassment of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Freedom of Information Act can be a wonderful tool when used.  In this instance, we’re allowed to see declassified files that show how longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover targeted the likes of Dr. King.  These files were declassified in 2017-2018 so it’s a quick production on that part.  That Hoover targeted King certainly…
