Review: JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
By Laurie Coker Rating: B+/A- Picking up where the original 1995 version starring Robin Williams left off, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle highlights a wonderfully comedic cast. Witty dialogue and a fast-paced storyline from a host of talented writers keep the film from bogging down during its nearly two-hour runtime. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack… Continue reading Review: JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Review: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

If looking for a sugar-coated and vibrant musical telling of Barnum and the story behind his circus, then this movie will certainly please. P.T. Barnum became both famous… Continue reading Review: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

Desafortunadamente, no recuerdo haber tenido el libro en mi niñez y tampoco en la colección de libros… Continue reading Critica De Cine: FERDINAND
Review: FERDINAND
By Laurie Coker Rating: C Ferdinand is a great deal of bull. Even with voice talent as varied as the bulls in the yard, the picture book turned animated feature, Ferdinand, fails to please audience members over the age of six or seven. There just isn’t much meat on the bones of the story. The… Continue reading Review: FERDINAND
