In the post-trilogy landscape, there have been some really great Star Wars films that exist beyond the hallowed Episodes IV, V and VI. The Force Awakens, even as a thinly veiled remake of A New Hope is so much fun. Rogue One is the prequel you’ve been looking for, and along comes Solo: A Star Wars Story attempting to flesh out the mythology of everyone’s favorite smuggling scoundrel. Did it work? Let’s just say that in our theatrical review of Solo, we were not very kind (check that out here). But having seen this four times now, I have warmed to this story which is serviceable and quite thrilling in…

CONTEST CLOSED – Win A Digital Copy of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2′
Attention: CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Winners have been notified. Thanks for your interest in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. ———————————————————————————————————————————— GoSeeTalk and Disney/Marvel have a handful of digital copies of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 to offer lucky films. This contest will be in conjunction with the Blu-Ray release of Guardians Vol. 2. on 8/22. Now why would anyone want a second go-round with this group of galactic a-holes? Well, because this is not just a fantastic sequel, but one helluva ride that is all sorts of hilarious. But don’t take my word for it, Peter Travers (of Rolling Stone) calls it, “Nonstop fun and games.” And he tends to know…

Off the Shelf…Disney’s ‘Zootopia’
Disney’s latest Blu-Ray offering is something that feels classically Disney, yet has the awareness and modernity of something like the studio’s frigid Princess pic. Zootopia trades ballgowns and musical numbers for a sweet-natured but surprisingly adult story. Sure it gets a candy coating, thanks to the conceit of a civilized mammalian populus, but while not intended as a straight-up comedy, this cuddly whodunnit is an all-out laugh fest. We loved it in the theaters, and this is just a blast at home; now we can go frame by frame to take in all the grandeur of the flora and fauna directors Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush, and their team crafted. It’s a delicious…

Off the Shelf…’Aladdin’
It is no surprise that 20 years later, Aladdin, quite possibly the most amazing and crowd-pleasing film in the Disney Renaissance, still holds up. While the film is ever more than the sum of its parts, two decades of having songs and characters ingrained in our brains and pop culture have shown just how transcendent the film was, and continues to be. A colorful mix of great voice talent, witty writing, dazzling visual splendor, and of course the songs that nearly everyone knows the words to contribute in making this animated effort an outstanding cinematic achievement. There are plenty of other places to find gushing and glowing reviews of this…

Off the Shelf…Kenneth Branagh’s ‘Cinderella’
When a film is said to be “iconic”, it means that the story itself has become infused with a certain mythos, whereby the idea of said property is ever grander than the actual film. In instances like that, it really takes someone (or a studio) with a certain resolve to attempt to successfully retell a famous yarn. In the case of 2015’s Cinderella, a live-action adaptation offers the chance, an obligation really, to truly flesh out the story and make it memorable, in more ways than one. After all, Cinderella is a tale that has existed in cultures all over the world for, believe it or not, nearly 2000 years. It’s…

Off the Shelf…Disney’s ‘The Pirate Fairy’
Walt Disney Home Entertainment’s The Pirate Fairy is another excellent installment in the Disney Fairy series. Whether or not you have enjoyed any of the previous Tinker Bell movies, you are really in for a treat with this installment. The Pirate Fairy is the best of the Disney Fairy series to date. It’s difficult to know what to expect in a title that is released directly to video. Yet this latest fantasy based offering from the Mouse House is a pleasant surprise – you probably won’t expect how enjoyable this little film is. Watching it with young ones will easily prompt a repeat viewing and this has enough charm that…
