Dark Voodoo Magic
The Princess and The Frog- holy crap this movie is dark, very dark. Voodoo, magic, death, transformation and more.

The plot: Hardworking and ambitious, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) dreams of one day opening the finest restaurant in New Orleans. Her dream takes a slight detour when she meets Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos), who has been turned into an amphibian by evil Dr. Facilier. Mistaking her for a princess and hoping to break the spell, Naveen plants a kiss on poor Tiana -- thereby turning her into a frog as well. The pair hop along on an adventure through the bayous to seek the help of a powerful voodoo priestess.

A very dark disney film, the darkness film since "The Black Cauldron". I mean their was "Beauty and The Beast" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". But damn this movie was dark.

Christopher Nolan on 05 Nov:

“Warner Bros. released Tenet, and I’m thrilled that it has made almost $350 million. But I am worried that the studios are drawing the wrong conclusions from our release — that rather than looking at where the film has worked well and how that can provide them with much needed revenue, they’re looking at where it hasn’t lived up to pre-COVID expectations and will start using that as an excuse to make exhibition take all the losses from the pandemic instead of getting in the game and adapting — or rebuilding our business, in other words.
Long term, moviegoing is a part of life, like restaurants and everything else. But right now, everybody has to adapt to a new reality.”

Disney on 06 Nov:

Free Guy and Death on the Nile are moving to 2021!

Me too. Being able to go back in August, I forgot how much I missed it now not being able to go again is awful. Watching films at home just isn’t the same!

Did they not refund you for that? I think for me Cineworld did take a partial payment but then refunded it a week or so later. I haven’t paid my full subscription since February/March I think!

A fantastically fun and entertaining origin story. Great to see this creative story based on such a well known villian from Disney.
I wasn't overly interested when I heard about this but after seeing the trailer I had to see it.
Emma Thompson is amazing as The Baroness fashion designer in full Devil wears Prada extreme mode. Emma Stone is equally fun playing both sides of Cruella/Estella with a wicked glint in her eye.
Add to this an awesome soundtrack of the period and some very stylish fashion. Make this very pleasing on the eyes and ears. Maybe it's a little long and the ending was a little dragged out, but these are minor issues in a very enjoyable film.

While the Star Wars Extended Universe has been (unofficially) doing this for years now, Disney has finally come out and given each of the current 3 distinct eras in the films their own 'name's: 'Age of Republic' (The Prequel Trilogy), 'Age of Rebellion' (Original Trilogy) and 'Age of Resistance' (Sequel Trilogy)

This, therefore, is set during the middle - arguably best - of those three, and is really a collection of short stories, each focusing on a given villain from that era: Grand Moff Tarkin, Boba Fett, IG-88, Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader himself. As such, the stories are a bit hit and miss, with some forgettable while others adding nuance and depth to the characters. I may pick up the 'Age of Rebellion: Heroes' companion when it comes out, but probably won't be rushing out to buy it.
