'The Lion King' Review: You Should Probably Just Revisit The Original Movie

‘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

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."

A24 And Neon Pick Up New Films From Cannes Cannes might be a beautiful French town that is overrun by celebrities and movie execs once a year, but it’s also basically a film industry shopping mall. Besides hosting hip screenings of all the cool movies you want to see, the film market is a place where studios wheel, deal, and procure all sorts of hot films. Imagine if the Sears at your local (probably dead) shopping mall was the latest Ruben Östlund film, or if the Macy’s was an enticing directorial debut, and you’ve basically got the picture....
