New Movie Releases

That’s So Rick

April 28, 2023

After seeing previews of the following movies, I couldn’t resist posting this blog. I’m anxious to see them all and will be renewing my Disney + subscription before the weekend officially kicks off. And that’s immediately after this gets published and posted.

Peter Pan and Wendy looks fun. I’ve enjoyed the remakes throughout the years and, the late, Robin Williams version was a favorite. Loved him as an actor! Can’t wait to see what Jude Law (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”) offers.

Polite Society looks like a hoot. Written and directed by Nida Manzoor the film follows aspiring stunt performer Ria (Priya Kansara) as she puts a plan into motion to stop her older sister Lena (Ritu Arya) from ditching her dream of being an artist for married life. Jackie Chan – Kill Bill type of flick. Can’t wait to get to a theater to see it!

Big George Foreman What’s to be said about this one we can’t already imagine. I’ve been a fan of George’s even before the grill! Another can’t wait to see in the theater flick!

Coming Soon: May 5, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 OMG I’ve been waiting for this for years! Huge fan of Zoe Saldana and the movies adventurous travels through the galaxy in their continue efforts of saving it.

Polite Society

A merry mash up of sisterly affection, parental disappointment and bold action, POLITE SOCIETY follows martial artist-in-training Ria Khan who believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood.

Big George Foreman

At Theaters

The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World is based on the remarkable true story of one of the greatest comebacks of all time and the transformational power of second chances. Fueled by an impoverished childhood, Foreman channeled his anger into becoming an Olympic Gold medalist and World Heavyweight Champion, followed by a near-death experience that took him from the boxing ring to the pulpit. But when he sees his community struggling spiritually and financially, Foreman returns to the ring and makes history by reclaiming his title, becoming the oldest and most improbable World Heavyweight Boxing Champion ever. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker George Tillman Jr. from a story by Dan Gordon and Frank Baldwin & George Tillman Jr, and a screenplay by Baldwin & Tillman, the film stars Khris Davis (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Foreman and also stars Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker as Foreman’s trainer and mentor Doc Broadus.
