‘The Lion King’ (1994)

30 years ago this week, The Lion King hit theaters. It's the fifth film in the 10 year Disney Renaissance period, and for my money, the best one (it might even be my favorite Disney movie, period, but don't quote me on that!). The Lion King has all the hallmarks of a great Disney Renaissance movie: a banging score (Hans Zimmer did not come to...

Becky is the orphaned daughter of an artist and an opera singer who ...

Written and directed by John Lee Hancock, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone tells the story of a young boy named...

‘The Bear’ Season 2, Episode 10 “The Bear”

We're just days away from The Bear's highly-anticipated Season 3 premiere, so if you haven't started your rewatch yet, it's time to let it rip. While we recommend a full Season 1 and Season 2 binge-watch before the big day, we also understand that Every Second Counts, so if you only have 40 minutes to spare be sure to fire up the Season 2 finale...

‘Remembering Gene Wilder’

Whenever I tell people my favorite movie of all time is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, it's impossible not to cite Gene Wilder's magical performance as the Roald Dahl-written chocolatier. The documentary Remembering Gene Wilder not only sheds a loving light on his work in the 1971 classic, but over the course of his entire career,...
