Dora and the Lost City of Gold review

I'm not ashamed to admit that I watched a lot of Dora The Explorer growing up as I imagine plenty of other kids now adults did too. It was an educational albeit simple show at points but it was a lot of fun and the world and characters were all interesting and engaging. So when I first heard that Dora would be getting her own adventure movie I was a bit skeptical at first. But with the casting of Isabela Moner, Eva Longoria, Michael Pena and more my interest was certainly peaked. And it's not only great actors but even more incredible voice actors are brought into this universe as Danny Trejo voices Boots the Monkey who is Dora's childhood friend and who goes on all her adventures with. And Swiper the Fox who is voiced by Benicio Del Toro. All the characters from the animated show are here and it's all incredible charming. 

 Dora and the Lost City of Gold follows a slightly older Dora as she attempts to adjust to the life in the big city after spending years living in the jungle with her parents. Adjusting to the city is not easy at first however as she struggles to make friends especially when her positive attitude seems to annoy everyone including her own cousin Diego. Speaking of that positive mental attitude Isabela Moner is incredible as Dora throughout. Not only does she look like the cartoon version she's a little ball of energy and you just can't help but love it whenever she's on screen. The rest of the cast do a good job also but Moner as Dora just blows everyone else away and that's a good thing as really if Dora was portrayed right this just wouldn't work. I won't go much further into the story incase of spoilers but once we're dropped back into the jungle in search of Dora's parents it's an action packed adventure that is genuinely one of the most fun experiences you'll have this year. 
Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a charming adventure that is highly entertaining throughout. Dora would give Lara Croft a run for her money here as Isabela Moner is fantastic and her positive attitude is so warm and opening. The various other characters are really likable and it's message of being true to yourself and never letting others bring you down is just brilliant. Can you say excellent?? excelente, Muy Bueno!

 ★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
