As the box office’s heartbeat continues to wane, Nick and I take a look at Disney’s latest release-date push. Everything from Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile to Black Widow has been pushed. With most studios skipping October,…

“People say that it can’t work, black and white. Here, we make it work every day. We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans.”…

Chadwick Boseman’s death has rocked the industry and left millions mourning. Nick and I take some time to reflect on who he was and what his career means to us and so many others. He…

This week on The MovieBabble Podcast, we ask the tough questions that other critics are too afraid to tackle. For example: What does the abolition of the Paramount Decrees mean? When does the Kissing Booth Franchise…

Like Prince of Persia (2010), I had completely forgotten that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) existed. (Apparently, 2010 was the year for forgettable live-action Disney films.) The only thing I remembered about the film was when David (Jay Baruchel) was…

With the abundance of streaming services, it has become apparent that cord-cutting, and the mass adoption of streaming is inevitable. However, with the diversified selection, it is becoming harder and harder to get all the…

It’s been pretty well established that Inside Out, Pixar’s fifteenth theatrical release, is a knockout masterpiece. The Atlantic praised the film as an example of Pixar “once again at the top of its game, telling…

Trying to wash the memory of Artemis Fowl from their minds, Brennan and Nick take some time to deep dive into Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods (spoilers). It’s also a crazy time in the movie world, with…

Five sittings. It took me five different sittings to finish Disney’s Artemis Fowl, a mere 94-minute movie including the entirety of the end credits. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for what was supposed to become…

HBO Max is here, and it is loaded to the brim with classic and contemporary content. Between Warner Bros’ century-old library, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, and more, it is a real contender with Netflix…

Sports has been one of the many casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic. While no one would count the loss of sports among the biggest casualties, or the return of sports a top priority, its absence…

Does anyone actually remember Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) or was that just a weird fever dream I had? Has it really been ten years since it came out? Seriously, does anyone…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

With nothing to do on a Tuesday afternoon in the land of quarantine, I sat down to watch A Goofy Movie (1995) to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It’s always been a favorite of mine, if for no…

Onward, a movie I had no expectations for, but I went to see it anyway because it comes from Pixar. It turned out to be a great decision for two reasons: there’s a hilarious short…

With a growing list of items that includes the cancellation of SXSW 2020, MGM pushing No Time To Die to November, and now Onward‘s lackluster first-place finish this weekend at the box office, the effects of…

After several failed attempts to get their Dark Universe up and running, Universal has passed responsibilities off to Blumhouse with the hopes of them finding talented filmmakers to make inspired, one-off films with their classic…

Pinocchio (1940) celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, which is astounding to me. It’s staggering to think that animation has been around for well over 80 years at this point, let alone Disney being relevant for a similar…

Disney made a big splash when they purchased Lucasfilm film earlier this decade and quickly announced plans for another Star Wars trilogy. Cut to the end of 2019, and we’re all scratching our heads a…

The Star Wars franchise has reigned supreme since the 1970s. Nonstop box office success, tons of acclaim, and a fanbase that might be the biggest in the world when it comes to films, the Star Wars franchise has…

Jumanji: The Next Level is flying off the goodwill of its predecessor. With a strong $60 million dollar debut, will The Next Level also have the legs of its predecessor? Frozen II also made substantial gains this weekend…

What is a taxing movie, you may ask? Well, let me tell you a story. Recently, I was at my sister’s house hanging out because her family recently got Disney+ and I like to mooch on…

Very little sequels do much to change the formula left behind by the original, but that’s precisely what Frozen II did. With more back story and new terrains, Frozen II is certainly different, but was…

The Thanksgiving weekend is one of the box office’s longest and most profitable. In its second week, Frozen II is earning incredible numbers and zeroes in on a $1 billion gross. Aided by a few…

Walt Disney detested the idea of sequels. This is why, despite their profitability, there were no official Disney animated sequels produced until after his death. But even after his death, sequels weren’t something that Disney…

Six years after the original, Frozen II has arrived onto the scene to great success. The film boasts the largest opening weekend ever for an animated film. With over $350 million dollars worldwide, Frozen II is well on…

Since Netflix began pumping out original content every single week, there’s been a clear difference between their high-end properties such as Roma or the upcoming The Irishman and something such as Tall Girl or Sierra Burgess is a Loser. Putting…

Every so often, I watch a movie and am immediately filled with dread afterward because I have no idea how to discuss it. Any critic will tell you that the hardest reviews are those you…

It’s safe to say that The Little Mermaid is a monumental accomplishment for Disney and its animation studio. The film began a new collection of films in what is now known as the Disney Renaissance…

Ford v Ferrari has surpassed expectations with an impressive $30 million+ haul over the weekend. However, it remains to be seen if the film has what it takes to outrace its budget. Ford v Ferrari is joined in…
