‘The Lion King’ Review: You Should Probably Just Revisit The Original Movie Criticism is not consumer reporting, despite what some may tell you. If it was, this review ofThe Lion Kingwould be exceptionally short. I’d simply point you to Amazon, where you can purchase a digital copy of the 1994 animated film of the same name for roughly the same amount of money as a movie-theater ticket, a drink and some candy would get you for watching a new version of the same story....

14 Shows Like Riverdale You Can Binge Watch Right Now Few shows compare to “Riverdale.” It’s a young adult series, but it’s nothing like “Gossip Girl.” It flirts with the supernatural, but it’s nothing like ‘The Vampire Diaries." That’s the beauty of the CW series: What started as a sexy Archie Comics reboot has become so much more. “Riverdale” is a fruit salad of genre; it is a mystery, a dark comedy, a soap opera, a musical, and a social satire all at once....
