A documentary on Howard Ashman should be considered safe but nope, it’s in the list of Disney+ and Hulu titles getting pulled. (Update: Thanks to the swift backlash, Disney+ will not remove Howard.) Flashback to Tribeca 2018. I had just left a P&I screening of Howard, a documentary on the late Oscar-winning lyricist. Without him and Alan Menken, there’s no telling what would have happened with the Walt Disney Animation Studios. The studio was in…

Margaret Qualley delivers an award-worthy performance in the Toronto-premiering Sanctuary, which is now making its way into theaters. This film is about a dominatrix and a client. Don’t let it stop you from watching the film. I’ll get into it later but it really feels like you’re in the room with them. It really ups the claustrophobic feeling when it comes to the tension in the room. Trust me when I say that you need…

While Crater means well, the newly released Disney sci-fi adventure film is lacking the movie magic as it makes its arrival on Disney+. I wanted to like this film. An adventure on the moon? What’s not to like?!? With Shawn Levy producing the film, it can’t be all that bad now, can it? What bothers me about the movie is that it doesn’t feel like a Disney theatrical film nor does it even feel as…

No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality is the fourth memoir written by Emmy-winning actor Michael J. Fox. I’ve had my copy of the hardcover book since probably 2020. Unfortunately, I only read it over the past few weeks and finished reading it early this past week. Let me just say that Fox’s fourth memoir makes for solid companion reading to the new documentary on Apple TV+, STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie,…
