Moana 2 - Did This Animated Movie Really Make Waves for Kids?
When Disney released Moana in 2016, it swept across audiences with the force of an ocean wave—immersing viewers in Polynesian culture, dazzling animation, and infectious songs. But now that Moana 2 is on the horizon, one question bubbles to the surface: Is this sequel truly made for kids, or is it designed with a broader audience in mind? Let's dive deep into the storyline, themes, and creative decisions to explore whether Moana 2 is a family-friendly adventure or something more layered.

Wicked: Was It Worth The Hype?
Yes. Yes, it was. Wicked, the recent movie adaptation of the famous 2003 musical, has received an overwhelming amount of media attention, both positive and negative. In fact, a shocking number of controversies surrounded the film way before it came out less than a week ago.

Lots of Spoilers for "Joker: Folie a Deux" movie
I invested in Todd Phillip's films on the Joker character from the DC comics. I do not regret my investments, whether it was time or money. I read some reviews after Joker 2 was at the theaters, and then I watched some reviews on Youtube, but I did not let any review stop me from purchasing the movie today and watching it very carefully. I'm a committed comic book fan, reiterating my loyalty to DC and Marvel. DC is definitely on the come up, with Joker and Penguin success, while Marvel is struggling big time since their biggest hit with "Avengers, EndGame". If Joker 2 got slammed by fans, I suspect it has more to do with the hope that Marvel can make a comeback or that other villains can get some more attention and Joker can get some rest.

Introduction A couple of weeks ago, I found out that I got AppleTV+ with my bank account. I have used it to watch a few things but two weeks ago my friend Les saw it at the cinema and told us how good it was. I saw it was on AppleTV+ and, though it is not my normal thing, decided to watch it. Some of the actors and the writer/director Steve McQueen drew me to it.

The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Vampire Stories appeal to gothic romantics
I just finished reading a Top Story written by Angel Hepworth, a negative review of the "Twilight" movie based on Stephanie Meyers books. I did not read any of those books, but I was a passionate fan of the movie series and watched the films more than once. After reading the points made by Hepworth in her review, I feel like I may be in the minority (although that does seem awkward considering how successful the books and movies were) when I say that I still love those movies. I read all of the negative feedback, but I just couldn't make myself agree. The only thing I could say in my defense as a fan of the Twilight saga, is that it's like creamed corn. I love creamed corn, especially in entertainment.

Watching Twilight For The First Time. Top Story - November 2024.
This is sort of weird for what an avid reader of young adult fiction I was back in my teens, but I never actually read much of Stephanie Meyer’s famous Twilight. I briefly borrowed one of the books from my cousin, skimmed a few pages, and then gave it back because I didn’t like it. And that’s where it ended for me.
