Argylle offers audiences the first fun film of 2024 as filmmaker Matthew Vaughn does it again with a new spy thriller. I went into the film knowing absolutely nothing. Lo and behold, it had my attention from start to finish. By this point, Vaughn knows the important ingredients of a spy thriller. What I didn’t expect was–well, if I told you, you get the idea. Maybe it’s the fact that I didn’t watch the trailer…

Wish is now available to watch at home on Digital, with the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD physical media release set for March 12. My review from the theatrical release in November: Wish, the newest Walt Disney Animation Studios feature, celebrates 100 years of magic and wonder by bringing the Disney nostalgia.

Disney 100: A Century of Dreams – A Special Edition of 20/20 is the latest special to celebrate 100 years of The Walt Disney Company. It was only a matter of time before this special aired on one of the Disney-owned networks. What surprises me is that it’s airing in December rather than on the 100th anniversary this past October. Better late than never, I suppose? Some of the previous Disney film stars discuss the…

I.S.S. isn’t much of a stretch as tensions flare on the International Space Station as war breaks out between the United States and Russia. Gabriela Cowperthwaite directs a tense thriller that will have audiences sitting on the edge of their seats. I.S.S. feels like one of those films that could have been ripped from the headlines.

Schmigadoon! moves away from the 1940s and 1950s musicals and takes viewers into the grittier Schmicago of the 1960s and 1970s. The transition into the next pair of decades means not being as brightly colored like the 1940s and 1950s. That’s not to say that it’s not entirely gritty because of Schmicago’s take on musicals like Godspell and Hair. In any event, this season owes a lot to both Chicago, Cabaret, and Sweeney Todd. There’s…

"West Side Story Arrives on Digital, Streaming" For better or worse, filmmaker Steven Spielberg remakes the Oscar-winning classic West Side Story for his first movie musical. It’s been over 24 hours since watching the film and I’m still in the process of digesting my thoughts. By the time this review runs on Thursday morning, I’ll have stepped foot in the exact location where the film’s opening takes place. But hey, I’m not complaining as I’m in the Big Apple for multiple studio…
