Disney movies have taken a bit of a downward turn recently. How come?
Asha, the main character, is a biracial woman who discovers the power of magic wishing dust.
This fantasy musical movie is an origin story about the title character.
A smashing sequel to the first Sonic the Hedgehog film that also brings back elements from the popular video game series.
Sonic is a pretty generic buddy comedy with a light dusting of eccentricity.
The power of a talented female director like Patty Jenkins and an overall diverse cast is what makes this film worth watching for me.
