Alvin and the Chipmunks put a high-flying new spin on one of the most anticipated films of the year. Batmunk is a thrilling adventure that'll keep you on the edge of your seat...with laughter! Simon (in the most heroic role of his long, brainy career) plays the Caped Crime fighter to mischievous Alvin's hilariously villainous Jokester, an arch criminal whose cult of crooked clowns has been stealing all the toys in the city. When the thieves go after "the greatest toy in the world," Batmunk decides to teach the bad guys that crime doesn't play!
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
It is the attention to detail that makes Wolfwalkers resonate more than Luca for Queer representation
Not every film can make a shopping mall feel both magical and menacing, but Forbidden Fruits challenges that.
It: Welcome to Derry proves you can have rich representation, real humanity, and still fully enjoy Pennywise terrifying kids in sewers.
Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) are a delight to watch evolve, sometimes devolve, then evolve again.
Overall, Altered Carbon: Resleeved is pretty “meh.” It’s cool and all that it takes a different approach from the TV show to make it animated rather than live action, but it doesn’t help that the animation looks like something from a video game.
