Review – Star Wars : The Last Jedi (2017)
At the time of writing it’s been a day since I walked out of The Last Jedi and the on-line reaction to it has been surprisingly diverse with a lot of people either disappointed in the film or downright hating it. Which made no sense to me because I downright loved the film, and classed it as the best the franchise has been since Empire. Having had the time to think things through and read the negative reviews I think I understand to a certain degree, after The Force Awakens was criticized for basically being A Newer Hope, The Last Jedi does all it can to take some of the boldest steps ever taken in a Star Wars film and actively doesn’t try to please everyone. It is completely unexpected from a company like Disney, but they just might have made one of the bravest Star Wars films to date, and I’m definitely on board with it all.

Review – Beauty & The Beast (2017)
Disney’s insistence to remake all their classics has been interesting to say the least, their initial design to make darken everything did not go down well but then they changed things up with Cinderella and The Jungle Book and kept them closer to the charm of the original movies which went down a lot better. With their remake of Beauty & The Beast, Disney have moved into dangerous territory, with the animated version one of their studio highlights and beloved by millions they risked upsetting a lot of people if they didn’t get it right. Well I can safely say that while it has nothing on the original, Disney have managed a solid update to their classic story that can stand as its own counterpart to the original without taking away from it.
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are REUNITED and it Feels So Good…
by Logan Myerz
If you sit back and think about iconic filmmakers, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are usually on top of the list for obvious reasons. They are the masterminds behind the greatest films of our generation that have repeatedly broken box office records and have made a way into our hearts. Indiana Jones is the film series that has really kept these two individuals working together over the past thirty-five years. If you aren’t familiar with the movies, it’s time to do some homework.
Indiana Jones is a coming of age adventure series starring Harrison Ford that debuted in 1981. It was recently announced that the fifth installment will be released in 2019. George Lucas has been out of the limelight for some time and I could understand with all the flack he got from critics and fanboys over the years in regards to the Star Wars prequel films. But it doesn’t matter because at the end of the day, George makes the movies he wants to make and has the funding to back his projects.
According to the Bearded Trio, Stephen Spielberg announced at a BFG press gathering, “George is going to be an executive producer on Indiana Jones 5. I would never make an Indiana Jones film without George Lucas. That would be insane.” Spielberg and Lucas were both attached to the last Indy film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which was an utter mess for too many reasons to list. Although as a filmmaker, you can’t make an incredible film every time you get behind the director/producer chair. Especially when it comes to sequels and you’re trying to continue the story while attempting to avoid replicating the same premise.
With Disney taking over Lucasfilms, the studio has a larger part in what they release, and this can be a good sign for the new Indiana Jones film. I have faith in the studio and Mr. Spielberg, but overall, I have faith in Mr. George Lucas. To the fan boys, don’t write him off just yet, he still has some magic up his sleeves!
Indiana Jones 5 will be released on July 19th, 2019.

Review – The Jungle Book (2016)
by Kevin Muller
In these days, CGI, or computer generated imagery, is so common that we actually yearn and gravitate towards old school practical effects. Spike Jonze adapted the famous children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” using people in giant costumes to portray his monsters instead of fully rendering them with computer graphics and the original “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, definitely not “The Hobbit” movies, used as little CGI as possible. Every so often, a movie comes along that pushes the bar further for what CGI is really capable of achieving. Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” is that very movie. It is a visual masterpiece and a great retelling of the famous Disney cartoon.
