Onward Review – Working Hard but Hardly Working?
Disney/Pixar’s latest adventure is an interesting one. This is their first non-sequel film in three years (Coco being the last), and it takes place in a fantasy world. It’s always a blast to see what Pixar does with their films, and thankfully, Onward is another solid outing. We follow two teenage brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt), as they receive a wizard’s staff giving them the power to see their deceased father one last time. The staff is missing a magical gem and that’s when the real quest begins. The lead characters in Ian and Barley are both really strong, and play off of each other well. Pratt…

Review: MARVEL RISING: SECRET WARRIORS – A Lazy and Uninspired Mess
The idea of an animated Secret Warriors film was promising. Young heroes like Ms. Marvel, Patriot, Squirrel Girl and Quake taking on an Inhuman war sounds excellent! The execution left a lot to be desired. Here’s our review of Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors. The story is pretty bland. Ms. Marvel (Kathreen Khavari) aspires to be like Captain Marvel (Kim Raver). Her and Squirrel Girl (Milana Vayntrub) are up and coming superheroes. They meet two inhumans who are fighting each other. Dante (Tyler Posey), a young man who just got his powers, and Exile (Booboo Stewart), a Kree warrior who wants to “deliver” inhumans. Our to heroines get involved, as well…

Review: THE INCREDIBLES
In this movie, we follow the Parr’s, a family of five where everyone has superpowers. Both Bob (Craig T. Nelson) and Helen Parr (Holy Hunter) are former superheroes that have now retired their heroic lifestyle. However, one day, their life changes when Bob aka Mr. Incredible gets a mysterious job offer.As someone that doesn’t have the same nostalgic connection to this movie, this was an interesting rewatch. How does it stand today, 14 years after it’s release? While it shows in its script that it was something that was created and released in the early 2000’s, with the animation quality a bit dated, it’s still a good movie. However, I…
