Disney is currently on a never-ending quest to adapt their animated classics into live-action adventures. But, even when following the original animated classic scene-for-scene, 2019’s version of The Lion King does not live up to expectations.

The film doesn’t pull its own weight. Even with the outstanding, hyperreal CGI effects, the film falls flat — when it should have shined. Anyone who knows me can attest that I am a massive lover of all things Disney. Disney trivia nights are my jam. S

If you were hoping to go see the new live-action Disney adaptation of the popular film, “Aladdin”, chances are you are going to want to see it all the more now! Naomi Scott, who portrays Jasmine in the film, shared in a blog post recently that her Christian faith is a huge part of all that she does in the entertainment industry.

“My husband and I were actually talking about this yesterday. Sometimes we get asked the question, ‘How do you juggle your faith and what you do?’ But for me, I don’t

Avengers: Endgame, the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise and the finale of a 22-movie sequence, demolished the box office on its opening weekend—bringing in $1.2 billion in worldwide ticket sales and smashing more than a dozen box office records. The film had the largest-ever opening weekend of any film, bringing in nearly two times as much as the previous record holder, Avengers: Infinity War. It was also the fastest to reach $1 billion, and had the highest-ever opening w

The wait is over, and the biggest film of 2019 has finally arrived. Marvel Studios' 12 year 22 film journey achieves its remarkable zenith this weekend with Avengers: Endgame, putting the capstone on the MCU's status as the biggest, most successful, and unquestionably most epic franchise in cinema history. Last year, Avengers: Infinity War left many people wondering, "How will Marvel top this? Can Marvel top this?" Let there be no doubt Marvel has answered those questions loud and clear.

This post contains spoilers regarding the plot of Captain Marvel.

When Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, returns to Earth in next month’s Avengers: Endgame, she’ll be coming back to a different world, in part because it’ll be 23 years older than when she left it in 1995.

The pager she amps up in the movie Captain Marvel will look clunkily out of place. The internet will (thankfully) be much faster. She’ll no longer have to rely

It has been said many times that the Marvel movie “Black Panther” is an important landmark. I’m not referring to its deserved critical and box office success worldwide, the many awards it has won, or the fact that it is the first film in the superhero genre to be nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.

Instead, I’m focusing on a key aspect of its cultural impact that is l

The 91st Academy Awards ceremony is just a few days away, and in advance of the annual bestowing of golden statuettes in honor of Hollywood’s best and most memorable big screen performances over the past year, ticketing service Fandango conducted an experiment. The company decided to poll 3,000 moviegoers and ask them — if they were the ones calling the shots, who would they hand out Oscars to during the ceremony this Sunday?

Among the results of this survey of ordinary moviegoers, Black Panth

By the time we revisit the waterfall in Black Panther, about 75 minutes into the film, every viewer understands the stakes of the place. Warrior Falls is Wakanda’s ceremonial proving ground, a spectacular but deadly setting that maintains the status quo of the fictional African nation. Earlier in the movie, T’Challa (played by Chadwick Boseman) claims the mantle of king by defeating a challenger, the hulking M’Baku

Cybill Shepherd on Thursday revealed that she too had once been propositioned by disgraced former network titan Les Moonves.

In an interview on SiriusXM’s The Michelle Collins Show, the actress, whose career spans decades, said Moonves made a pass at her one night while they were at dinner.

“He was, well, he was telling me his wife didn’t turn him on, some mistress didn’t turn him on,” Sheperd explained. “And … he says, ‘Well, you know, why don’t you let me take you home?’ I sai

In the opening of Avengers: Infinity War, Hulk takes on Thanos and it does not go well for Hulk. He’s beaten handily by the Mad Titan, and it’s a bit of a surprise since Hulk is kind of undefeated everywhere he goes. Furthermore, in the comics, he’s arguably one of the most powerful superheroes because hurting him only makes him angrier, which in turn makes him stronger. If you try to defeat Hulk through brute force, you’ll lose because he just gets bigger and more powerful.

But if Hulk had be

It was previously reported that there were some major differences in the appearance of Disney’s first Black princess, Tiana, in the trailer for ”Wreck-It Ralph 2.” 

Tiana, as well as the other minority Disney princesses, were a bit whitewashed from their original features, such as skin tone, hair, nose, etc., which in turn sparked widespread backlash.

But now, it appears the backlash worked, and with cooperation between Color of Change and Disney Animation, Tiana,

With only a few months to go before the release, Marvel is keeping most Captain Marveldetails close to the chest. The first trailer emphasized Carol Danvers’ murky history and Brie Larson’s physical performance. Instead of a villain reveal, we got Carol punching an old lady in the face. We still don’t really know if Jude Law is actually playing Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel. How the Starforce and Ronan the Accuser and Nick Fury really factor in to Carol’s conta

  • Marvel didn't initially want the characters in " Black Panther" to have accents.
  • But actor Chadwick Boseman, who plays King T'Challa and the titular superhero, said they needed to.
  • The studio thought he could have a British or American accent.
  • Boseman stood firm and said it was a "deal breaker" if he didn't use an accent based in an African language.

Marvel wasn't entirely on board with Wakandans having African accents in "Black Panther" but act

As the country continues to suffer through the Trump era and racial-relations regression, Disney is attempting to restore, at least, a little bit of hope for humanity. 

The billion dollar entertainment giant has just acquired a pitch for a new live-action fairytale film about an African Princess, named Sadé.

The film will focus on a young African girl, who accepts her warrior power to protect her kingdom from a mysterious evil force. With the help of the kingdom’s prince, Sadé will embar

Lucasfilms’ standalone Han Solo origin pic is faltering at the global box office, where it will top out in the $400 million range.

To borrow one of Han Solo’s lines from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, “that’s not how the Force works!”

It’s an apt way to sum up the troubled performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story. In one of the biggest box-office surprises in recent times, Solo is badly underperforming and will become the first of the Star Wars movies made by Disney and Lucasfilm to lose money.
