Snow White 2025
I’ll start off saying something positive about Snow White: I liked the costumes, which captured the essence of Disney magic. That being said, this movie is yet another disappointing live-action remake in a growing list of unnecessary Disney reimaginings. The main problem here is the cast. Neither Rachel Zegler, nor Gal Gadot, nor Andrew Burnap can act very well. Plus, there are far too many songs, and I can’t remember how any of them go. Also, Zegler sings like she’s pining for a Tony Award, which is the wrong choice for this performance. Snow White is another bad apple in an already spoiled bunch.

Rush Hour 1998
Rush Hour is still fun to watch decades after it came out. The chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is what makes this movie work. I also realized that this film was my kids’ introduction to Jackie Chan, which is the same for many American viewers. And it’s a great showcase of his talents and abilities.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a fitting finale to this trilogy of MCU movies. It’s heavier & more violent than its precursors, but it manages to retain some of the levity this series is known for to keep things from getting too dark. This emotional rollercoaster is longer than it needed to be, with some sloppy screenplay moments to justify certain plot points and move things along. And the ending feels rushed as it tries to wrap everything up.…

The Curse of Frankenstein 1957
The Curse of Frankenstein brings new life to Mary Shelley’s gothic tale. This colorized film adaptation adds a sense of gruesomeness to the story, and it also is the first adaptation where I’ve felt like Victor Frankenstein is the real monster. Peter Cushing is delightfully devilish in that role, and I was surprised to discover it was his first part in a feature film. It’s also fun to see Christopher Lee as The Creature, who is quite horrifying. I don’t wish to downplay Universal’s classic 1931 Frankenstein, which is undeniably iconic, but The Curse of Frankenstein may be my new favorite adaptation.
