Disney And Fox Merger About To Close With Deadpool Uncertainty
The Disney and Fox deal is just about finalized. This means that classic comic book storylines may better reflect their inclusion of the X-Men and Fantastic Four but could change the dynamic of Fox’s most successful individual property.

Read More‘Beauty and the Beast’ Isn’t A Great Remake But Pretty Darn Close
The original “Beauty and the Beast” often has a special place in the hearts of Disney fans and considered by many to be the best piece of animation the studio has ever produced (including yours truly) and has been revered at a level that “Cinderella,” “The Jungle Book,” and “Sleeping Beauty” have never quite been able to achieve. Naturally, that leaves the “Beauty and the Beast” remake with some massive shoes to fill and while it doesn’t quite achieve that feat, they manage to come surprisingly close.

“Queen of Katwe” came out of nowhere much like the main character and has completely impressed me and I think everyone in my screening.
