Director: Tim Burton

     This latest Disney live-action adaptation (and this one's from filmmaker Tim Burton) is about a young circus elephant named Dumbo, who has really big ears which gives him the ability to fly. But, when the circus decides to take on a new venture, he goes on a great adventure of his life, as he and his friends discovers some dark secrets.

     I've never seen (or at least remember seeing) the original animated film, so I can't compare it to this version. Parents, All I can say is that, I think your kids will have a good time seeing it, and enjoy it. It's obviously a PG rated Disney film so, expect some family-fun for everyone!

B+

Five Feet Apart

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: March 15, 2019
Runtime: 1 hour 52 minutes
Director: Justin Baldoni
Starring: Cole Sprouse, Haley Lu Richardson 



      This movie is about two teenagers (Sprouse and Richardson) who are both battling the same genetic, and deadly disease: Cystic Fibrosis. And because of it, they fall in love in a rather unusual way. They can't do anything that most young couples would do because, they are not allowed to be withing five feet of each other. If they do, then they both risk catching each others bacteria.

   This movie, is a great movie. It has Oscar worthy material, the acting was fantastic, and I think it'll be along the line of classic romance films like Ghost, and Somewhere in Time (which I admit, I've never seen). Parents, this is obviously a teen-drama film, so I don't your little ones would be interested in it. But, your teens might be. Oh, and there might be some suggestive material in it.  I admit, I WILL be seeing this film in theaters again! It was that good! However, I must warn you, that if you plan on seeing it (if you haven't already), you might wanna bring some tissues. If you don't, don't worry, I'm sure your favorite theater will provide some napkins for you. Go see it!

Final Grade:
A+

Wonder Park

   This Family-Friendly animated feature is about a young girl name june who, discovers an abandoned amusement park hidden in the woods, she discovers it came from her imagination, and she's the only one who can bring it back to life.

Captain Marvel

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: March 8, 2019
Runtime: 2 hours, 4 minutes
Directors: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck
Starring: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson

     Hard to believe, that this is (I think) the 21st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Set in the 1990's, Carol Danvers (Larson) is an army pilot that teams up with S.H.E.I.L.D. agent Nick Fury (Jackson), and  becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes as the earth is caught in a war between two alien races

    Although, not the best movie in the MCU, it does have some good moments. There is a little humor in it, I saw it in 3D so the 3D good. However, I do feel that Brie Larson was miscast. Parents, This is obviously a PG-13 rated superhero flick. So, you can expect the usual round of superhero violence in it.
I highly recommend you check the Parents Guide section on imdb.com, before taking your little ones to this film.


Final Grade:
B


Special Note:
     I recently heard about an incident that occurred at a screening of this film in Phoenix Arizona, where a black guy was accused of sneaking into the theater without paying for a ticket. But, what he really did was use the bathroom, and got a refill on his drink! As a result, he got kicked out! Here's a link to an article about the incident: https://phoenixinformer.com/126178/arizona-man-racially-profiled-and-kicked-out-of-phoenix-movie-theater-phoenix-video/?fbclid=IwAR0CPF193P7lnNO4R49ni3PIqa7UELOemN07moerxyk9m-MwbDeyq52urYM. Seriously guys, the world that we live in is getting more, and more wicked, and this is a prime example of that! I can't believe that somebody, would get kicked out of a screening of a movie that I reviewed on this blog spot, for no valid reason! What's Wrong with people these days?
