      This adaptation of the 1994 Disney classic, is about (c'mon, we all know it's about) a young lion cub named Simba, who learns to take his place in the circle of life, and becomes king of Pride Rock. This, is a visually wonderful take on this classic tale.  the graphics are fantastic, and only four songs from the original movie, are used in this version. Parents, take your kids to this film. In fact, take the whole family! Even if they haven't seen the original.


Final Grade:
A



*Special Note:

     I have recently decided to start doing Straight out of the theater reaction videos. I got the idea from watching other people doing it. So, here's mine on The Lion King.

Straight out of theater reaction video:

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: July 2, 2019
Runtime: 2 hours 9 minutes
Director: Jon Watts
Starring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jake Gyllenhaal, Samuel L. Jackson

    This latest Spidey adventure is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and Peter Parker (Holland) goes on a school trip to Europe with his friends. But little does he know, that he just simply cannot take a break from being the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Because in Europe, Danger is still lurking.

   This film is unpredictable, because the villain is one of those hypocritical characters that start off on the good side, but their bad side is revealed later. I thought it was a ok movie, and if your really into comic book movies, I think you'll enjoy this one. Parents, This is obviously a PG-13 rated superhero flick. So, like any other movie like this, you can expect the usual round of superhero violence. If you want to go into further detail about that department, Click here to go to the IMDB Parental Guide before taking your little ones to this film.


Final Grade:
B+

The Other Side Of Heaven 2: Fire Of Faith

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: June 28, 2019
Runtime: 1 hour 50 minutes
Director: Mitch Davis
Starring: Christopher Gorham, Natalie Medlock

     Set 10 years after "The Other Side Of Heaven," Elder John H. Groberg (Gorham) returns to the island of Tonga with his wife (Medlock) and children, to preside over the Tonga-Fiji mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. While there, Their sixth child is born with a serious illness. With faith, and love from thousands of Tongans, despite religious barriers, the baby's life is saved, as well as the life of a Tongan minister's son.

   This is, a really good movie. If you want to see it, check the internet to see if it's playing at a theater in your area. Because, this film is a very limited release. it's not a wide release, unlike all the movies I've reviewed here on this blogspot. Or, you can wait a few months, and try to get it on Blu-ray, DVD, Streaming Services. Parents, This film is (believe it or not) rated PG-13, all because of one scene. That's all I'm going to say, I don't want to give any major spoilers. Like I said, If you want to see it in a theater, search the internet and see if you can find one in your area.

Final Grade:
A+
