Belfast (2021) Review!!

Synopsis – A young boy and his working class family experience the tumultuous late 1960s. My Take – British actor and filmmaker Sir Kenneth Charles Branagh has been around for a while. Gaining fame mainly for his several impressive Shakespeare adaptations, like Henry V (1989), Hamlet (1996), Love’s Labour’s Lost (2000) and As You Like It (2006), Branagh also found mainstream success by helming blockbusters like … Continue reading Belfast (2021) Review!!

Artemis Fowl (2020) Review!!

Synopsis – Artemis Fowl, a young criminal prodigy, hunts down a secret society of fairies to find his missing father. My Take – Released back in 2001, amidst the phenomenon known as Harry Potter, Irish author Eoin Colfer‘s fantasy novel, Artemis Fowl, despite sharing similarities with J.K. Rowling‘s magical world, managed to also find audience among its targeted young readers. Mainly as in contrast to … Continue reading Artemis Fowl (2020) Review!!

‘Artemis Fowl’: Kenneth Branagh’s Adaption Heading Straight to Disney+!!

Lost in the craziness of this morning’s massive Disney news — though not on my Twitter feed — was the fact that Kenneth Branagh‘s Artemis Fowl will skip theaters and head straight to Disney+.

‘Cats’ Bound To Lose At Least $71M at the BO!!

‘Cats’ Pulled from Awards Contention Following Dismal Reviews and BO!!

Universal Pictures has quietly pulled the plug on its Oscar campaign for Cats. The big-screen musical was a sight-unseen contender given its profile and pedigree, and indeed you’d be forgiven for previously assuming it could be an awards contender.
