Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse is the latest direct-to-video feature from DC animated, this one geared more toward a younger audience and fans of either property. The Blu-ray-DVD combo pack is available May 24th.
Josie and the Pussycats isn’t great but certainly a fun and entertaining timewaster thanks to a good cast led by Rachel Leigh Cook and some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments.
Ma is a movie that has a story that seems to come straight out of the 1990s and today probably would probably air on the Lifetime Movie Network. Octavia Spencer for her part was fine though Diana Silvers served well in an otherwise forgettable thriller.
Nobody’s Fool is yet another reminder of why Tyler Perry isn’t exactly a good filmmaker. Personally, outside of his Madea personality/schtick, he actually isn’t a half bad actor. This film in particular has some poorly written characters, even unlikeable ones, and has a few plots stuffed into one.
Traffik was a surprisingly effective thriller though mainly for the performance from its lead, and producer, Paula Patton more so than the writing or attempts at being a message film about sex trafficking, for which there are better films that do a better job.
This 10th Anniversary release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is merely a repackaging of the old disc with commemorative packaging so if you already own this, or even the HD-DVD, there’s no need to pick this up. Outside of that, my opinion of the film hasn’t changed: I didn’t like it then and I still don’t like it today.
