The film evokes some unexpected emotion as there were more than a few people wiping their eyes during the film. I truly hope the film is recognized come Awards season as it is a wonderful and memorable cinematic experience.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters
(2019)
|
Gareth J. Von Kallenbach
|
While it may possibly appeal to hardcore fans, this was a miss for me as there simply was not enough creature action to counter-balance having to sit through the human characters and plodding plot to get to the good stuff.

In my honest opinion this live-action remake of Disney's Aladdin has been my favorite of the live-action Disney remade films so far. It is a two hour nostalgic film filled wth laughs, action, lots of parkour and good life lessons.

Shazam!
(2019)
|
Gareth J. Von Kallenbach

Levi is very energetic in the part and goes all in and he does a great job of conveying a kid in a man's body. The biggest issue with the film is that there is mostly a lot of humor aimed at a much younger audience and large gaps with minimal action.

Fighting with My Family is so much more than simply a "wrestling movie", and while it likely won't convert you into being a die hard wrestling fan at the end, you might just be surprised at how much you take away from it when you leave the theater.

The film is not what you expect as although there is plenty of action at times; it is a Dark Comedy with dramatic elements. It is more in line of what you might expect at a Film Festival from an Indie studio versus a major studio release.
