Snow White (2025) review

 


The latest in a long line of Disney classics being remade into live action is none other than ultimate classic Snow White. Everyone knows the story of Snow White and if you don't, what rock have you been living under?? a tale of the fairest and most kindest soul of them all Snow White is a timeless piece that has now gotten the live action treatment but is it any good?? Rachel Zegler stars as Princess Snow White and it is her and her alone that carries this movie with such grace and poise it's truly remarkable. She does it all, she sings, she dances and puts in one of the best performances in one of these live action remakes to date. Her theater background and work on West Side Story really shows as she belts out amazing songs even an original that is at the center piece of the overall narrative. She is pretty much flawless here and her voice is magical.

There was a lot of controversy surrounding this movie but putting that aside in summary it just isn't anything spectacular. It's meandering and plods along from song to song with little in between besides Zegler lighting up the screen whenever she appears. As for Gal Gadot who plays the Evil Queen she couldn't be any more opposite to Zegler if she tried her performance is flat, monotone and easily the worst part of this movie. It's staggering how little she is actually in it given she is the big bad but that is a positive in this instant as she stinks up the screen in what screen time she does have. 


So is Snow White actually any good? in short it's got to be a no sadly. Especially if you were a big fan of the original as it lacks any sort of real charm apart from Zegler's performance. The seven dwards are also not done any real sense of justice are they are merely CGI creatures but that being said they do bring the most fun and humorous parts of the movie. All in all Snow White isn't terrible but it just feels so bland and mundane. You'll come for Gal Gadot but find yourself truly loving Rachel Zeglar and if this is anything to go by then a star may be born.

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.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

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...
