The Lion King
Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview THE LION KING (Director Jon Favreau) “photo real” they’re not calling this one “live action” This movie was made in multiple ways – First in VR, and then animated, and then live action filmmaking techniques were used. It’s gorgeous! The production value is like “Jungle Book”, but stays closer to the look and feel of the original 1994 Lion King in many ways. Scar looks so much like the animated version down to the thin butt and raggedy ear, but he also looks so much like an actual lion. I have to do some more research on the making of, cause the blend of visuals is…

A Quickie: ABOUT LAST NIGHT
It’s Valentine’s Day and once again I’m spending it alone. I’m not bitter, certainly used to it; but I’m also not in the mood to write a really in depth review on a movie about sex and relationships. Even though the relationships throughout About Last Night are rocky at best, but at least both couples are GETT’N SOME!

I’ve never read the David Mamet play which both movies are based upon.…
