Ant Man and The Wasp is Hilarious, Quick Witted Superhero Fun
Marvel Studios is kicking off its 10th anniversary in real style. With the release of Avenger: Infinity War and Black Panther earlier this year, they have more than proved that superheroes are their business. If we were wondering why Ant Man wasn’t in Avengers: Infinity War, Ant Man and The Wasp answer that burning question and more. Starring Paul Rudd (who’s also producer and in the title role) is hilariously charming as Ant Man in a clueless sort of way…which is why we love him! Evangeline Lilly totally owns being Hope/The Wasp. She’s strong, confident and has no problem letting men and women alike know that she is always in…
What’s it Like to Be a Superhero? Incredibles 2 Cast Spills the Beans
Today is the day!!! Incredibles 2 hits theatres and is already breaking records becoming the biggest animated film opening EVER beating Finding Dory!!!! It’s rumored to open with $170M. I was fortunate enough to attend the press junket and came away with some humorous and juicy details from the cast and director Brad Bird (who also voices the fantabulous Edna Mode). Here are some excerpts from that event… Question: Not a second goes by between Incredibles and Incredibles 2. What was behind the decision to pick it up right away instead of having like an older Violet, an older Dash, an older Jack-Jack. BRAD BIRD: I just thought it was…
Elastagirl and Jack Jack Steal the Show in Disney*Pixar’s Incredibles 2
Disney has done it again! Incredibles 2 surpasses the excitement of its predecessor totally entertaining the adult children like myself. When we catch up with Elastagirl, Mr. Incredible, Violet and Dash – superheroes have been deemed illegal and are underground. When their best efforts to convince society that superheroes being needed and relevant aare thwarted, their superhero program is being shutdown and they have to find new digs in just a few short weeks. Elastagirl comes to the rescue with the help of cool techno-geek villain Evelyn Deavor (Catherine Keaner) and her overly enthusiastic brother Winston (Bob Odenkirk). Let me just say that Elastagirl is a total badass when…
What Don’t You Know About Solo: A Star Wars Story?
Ron Howard is one of my favorite directors – EVER!!! So it suffices to say that I was beyond thrilled to hear what he had to say about directing a chapter in the Star Wars saga… RON HOWARD: Well, it’s its own, it’s the galaxy far, far away and, ah, you know, and you… the level of anticipation is really unlike anything I’ve done. I began to recognize, you know, as something similar to the Beatles documentary that I took on… I’m at a point in my life where I like experimenting, I like to take some chances. I’m not too worried about the outcome. I wanted to have…
Alden Ehrenreich Embodies Harrison Ford in Solo: A Star Wars Story
Many times I’ve wondered what Han Solo story was since the original Star Wars. Where did he come from? Was he in love before Leia? How is he able to speak fluent Wookie with Chewie? How did he become one with the MIllineum Falcon? All these questions are answered and more in the latest Star Wars saga Solo: A Star Wars Story. Very reminiscent of a young, strapping Harrison Ford, Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) embodies the energy, essence and charisma we have come to know and love about Han Solo. One of my favorite moments is when a character utters ” I hate you” and Solo’s response is “I…

Wrinkle in Time Taps Into Inner Child and Warrior Mode
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge child at heart. It’s a characteristic handed down from my beautiful, playful mother. A quality that allows me to have an open heart and mind when watching projects meant to tap into one’s inner child. One of my favorite films of all time is The Wizard of Oz. I mean who doesn’t love that moment when Dorothy realizes what she searched for in Oz was inside her all the time? Well, what The Wizard of Oz did for me is what A Wrinkle in Time will do for this new generation of young people. Based on the popular novel by…
Why Black Panther is the Crown Jewel of the Marvel Franchise
Black Panther is hands down the best film in the Marvel Franchise!!! Why? Black Panther is on the road to do for Marvel what The Lion King did for Disney. The Lion King had Mufasa, Simba and The Pridelands…Black Panther has Wakanda, King T’Challa, Nakia and Killmonger. Black Panther also manages to show tender young love between a man and a woman, a man and his parents and unflinching love for one’s country no matter what the sacrifice. When I tell you that I wanted to run out and grab a flight to Wakanda and dwell in a place where people look like me and walk with pride in their…
