Big Screen Verdict: ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’

Despite the sheer horror that was “The Lion King” live-action, I can confidently say “Mufasa: The Lion King” exceeded my expectations.

“White Bird” is a film based on the graphic novel with the same title and written by the woman who wrote “Wonder.” I have never left the theater feeling more heartbroken; it was gut-wrenching. The movie starts with the character Julian, the school bully in “Wonder,” and turns into a story about France during WWII. […]

Big Screen Verdict: ‘My Old Ass’

There I was, enveloped in the thick, velvety darkness of the movie theater, heart racing with anticipation, eager to discover which mystery film was about to light up the screen.
