The Lion King (2019)
2019 | Adventure, Animation, Family
At times, it is easy to forget that everything the light touches has been created by a computer, and for all its visual spectacle and technical merit, the end result is one which feels empty and, like so many of the new Disney remakes, pointless.

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
2019 | Action, Sci-Fi
A thrilling spectacle...
hough it takes a little bit to find its groove, this is easily one of the MCU’s strongest entries once it gets started. It’s possibly the strongest live-action Spider-Man film to date, living up to its great responsibilities.

Perfectly poised to be the runaway feel-good hit of the summer, and it is almost impossible not to be charmed by it. A sublime slice of pure escapism, this film is the toe-tapping embodiment of joy that we all need right now.

Author Lissa Evans gave me all of this in her novel "Old Baggage" and you can read my #bookreview of this work on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/04/12/going-for-the-second-chances/
