My Take on the Movie

What I loved about this movie is that it really pulls together the Indiana Jones movies and allows them to be concluded in a way that was dignified, action-packed and classic. The grandious nature of the film, the action-packed scenes and more allow for the movie to transport any viewer into a whole new time and era. You will be on the edge of your seat and be clamoring for more until the very end! While I am sad to know this is the end of the era of Indiana Jones movies, I am happy that the sendoff was so sweet!

Short Film

  • Carl’s Date – Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® Award winner Bob Peterson and produced by Kim Collins, this all-new short, “Carl’s Date,” finds Carl reluctantly agreeing to go on a date with a lady friend —but admittedly with no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl’s pre-date jitters and offer some tried-and-true tips for making friends — if you’re a dog. “Carl’s Date” opened in theaters in front of Disney and Pixar’s Elemental.

My Take on the Film

While this movie followed a similar theme to some of the other recent films, I have to say that it was a wonderful story that brings in a lot of themes about love, friendship and more. I loved that the film brought in perspectives surrounding different types of love, such as familial love, romantic love, and friendship love. The characters in the film are memorable and there are many moments where I found myself laughing. All-in-all this was a truly enjoyable film that I would recommend to any family!

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 – Learn So Much More About The Team

August 7, 2023 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Guardians of the Galaxy 3

In Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.

The film stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter and Maria Bakalova. James Gunn is the director and also wrote the screenplay. Kevin Feige produces with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nikolas Korda, Sara Smith, and Simon Hatt serving as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” comes exclusively to Disney+ on August 2, joining the other two films of the trilogy, “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”

My Take on the Movie

I always enjoy these films, not only for the cast and plot but for the cinematography, the music and so much more. This movie was a bit harder to watch because you do get to learn more about Rocket Raccoon’s past (which is not all sunshine and roses) and of course the Guardians get into a bit of scrapes that leave them a bit worse for the wear. Due to some of this, the movie does seem a little darker than some of the other films, but in my opinion, it is still one that I would love to watch again and again. I love seeing all of the additional characters in this movie like Adam Warlock, Howard the Duck (cameo appearance) Cosmo the Dog and more. Marvel fans will love these and it continues to build out the cinemagraphic Marvel Comics universe. While some people are saying this is the last movie, if you watch until the end there is an Easter Egg that negates that fact. All-in-all this was a great film that lets you learn a lot more about some of the Guardians and also lets you learn more about their underlying character as well.

My Take on the Movie

This was a great reimagining of the classic Disney film. I did not know what to expect, but I was blown away by the cast, the cinematography and digital magic that was used to create this and more. The movie definitely surpassed my expectations and the songs were sung beautifully. One of the things I appreciated was that it delved deeper into some things you did not get in the original. For example, you learned more about Eric’s upbringing. While some of the characters were a bit different than in the original film, you will still find yourself loving them. Halle Bailey did a remarkable job as Ariel, but the whole cast really hit this out of the park!  Highly recommend for the whole family!

Disney and Pixar’s “Elio”

 

 

About the Movie

An out-of-this-world teaser trailer, poster and images for Disney and Pixar’s 28th feature film, “Elio,” are now available.

For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers—in Disney and Pixar’s all-new movie “Elio,” the universe calls back! The original feature film introduces Elio, an underdog with an active imagination who finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the rest of the universe, and completely unprepared for that kind of pressure, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, survive a series of formidable trials and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.

Directed by Adrian Molina (screenwriter and co-director of “Coco”) and produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of “Coco”), the film features the voices of America Ferrera as Elio’s mom, Olga; Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa; Brad Garrett as Ambassador Grigon; and Yonas Kibreab as the title character. “Elio” releases in theaters March 1, 2024.

Carl’s Date

Check out a brand-new trailer celebrating Pixar Animation Studios’ “Carl’s Date.” Opening exclusively in theaters June 16 in front of Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental,” the all-new short marks a return to the studio’s tradition of pairing its feature films with animated shorts on the big screen. Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® Award winner Bob Peterson and produced by Kim Collins, “Carl’s Date” goes home with Carl Fredricksen (voice of Ed Asner) and his lovable talking dog, Dug (voice of Peterson), who were introduced in Pixar’s Oscar®-winning feature “Up.” Moviegoers will catch up with Carl as he reluctantly agrees to go on a date with a lady friend—but admittedly has no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl’s pre-date jitters and offer some tried-and-true tips for making friends—if you’re a dog.
