ACA 170: Goncharov vs. Vyazigin 2 (2024)

Women have always been integral to science fiction, and these amazing women prove why.

Like most young people, Leviticus is imperfect.  But I love it anyways. 

Based on the fairy character from previous movies, this fantasy movie gives viewers magic.

Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road. Then, like with so many successful films, there was the sequel (which for me was even MORE of a classic than the original!). However, the third film emerged....and then a fourth. Suddenly, the luster was gone and disappointment set in.

In the film adaptation, director Jon M. Chu turns each musical number into a massive show stopper, with grand set pieces and a wealth of diverse dancers. Yet, in this attempt to show reverence for the people of the Washington Heights barrio, Chu, or maybe more specifically those in charge of casting, left out a crucial part of the community, Afro-Latinos.

This magical reboot introduces a new set of Charmed ones, much to the ire of fans of the original series.
