X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX
Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX is meant to be the ENDGAME for Fox’s X-MEN franchise, as Disney/Marvel are poised to takeover. And what’s that gonna consist of? I just can’t stand the thought of another reboot. Please, just start over with new X-Men. We’re good with the 2 sets of X-Men core characters – young and mature, and up until this movie, they pretty much dovetailed nicely so that you didn’t have a problem with the stories or casting of the 2nd set of movies (First Class, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse) negating the stories of the 1st set of Movies (X-men, X-Men United and X-men Last Stand)…

Secret Life of Pets 2
Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview Directors: Chris Renaud, Jonathan del Val by Illumination Animation, only founded in 2007, but feels like we’ve loved these animated movies forever! Oswald Patton taking over for Louis CK as the voice of Max – aka Tiny Dog, aka TD, doesn’t miss a beat, and Harrison Ford as Rooster is ideal! The overall rhythm and bits aren’t as strong and tight as the original, but it’s still an entertaining summer movie to be enjoyed by pet lovers and non-pet owners like myself. T&T the Large Association of Movie Blogs (aka the LAMb) rating 3.5 outta 5

ROCKETMAN
Tinsel & Tine’s #MiniMovieReview ROCKETMAN (Dir Dexter Fletcher) is a creative mix of biopic / musical theater / music video, which I felt suited the subject. The blending of fantasy and reality also allows for some creative license. Because as much as I enjoyed Straight Outta Compton and Bohemian Rhapsody, they’re written as if everything is 100% accurate, which of course is impossible with a screenplay, that’s why there are documentaries, which typically are still only about 85 – 90% accurate. That being said, I read this Slate.com article – which takes some of the movie’s scenes and compares them to actual accounts in Elton John’s life and according to…

Avengers: ENDGAME
The MCU took us on a decade long Fantastic Cinematic Journey and all the culminations in EndGame played out as they should. The next chapters should be interesting, but I doubt will ever be as meaningful as what we’ve been through. Best line: Thor: “I’m totally from the future” Best character arc: Thor with a beer belly,dreadlocks and dressing like the Big Lebowski Best of the endings: Thor back on the Gaurdians of the Galaxy Ship dominating Quill I joined THE BLACK TRIBBLES Radio Show Live at Philly Cam to talk AVENGERS: ENDGAME
