Spies in Disguise

Spies in Disguise features Will Smith and Tom Holland as the voices of the two main characters in the film. Smith as a spy turned pigeon and Holland, a nerdy pacifist scientist. This is an extremely pleasant animated film with an equally positive message, Make Love, Not War. With Will Smith's most recent films being Bad Boys For Life and Gemini Man, his acting in this film is a complete curveball to what he normally portrays. Smith's character, Lance, is similar to his Men in Black role Agent J, a no-nonsense, kick-ass spy. Lance is the world's greatest spy and loves to finish his missions with a boom. Unfortunately, during a mission, Lance's grenade turns out to be a glitter bomb and not what he expected. After finding out that a new employee played by Tom Holland created this glitter bomb Lance fires Holland's character on the spot. Soon after, Lance is on the run from the United States government and requires the unique assistance of Holland's character, Walter. The ending of this film will please you and wanting more. If your kids are too young to watch James Bond this is a perfect replacement as it fits a similar style. Overall, this film has added to the children's spy film genre and has paved the way for many more.

Joker

Joaquin Phoenix plays a quintessential Joker like we have never seen before. The films 'R' rating thoroughly allows it to show Arthur Fleck's slow descent from child-friendly clown to vengeful Joker. Director, Todd Phillips has recreated and reimagined one of the most iconic comic book villains known to man. Each Joker or Batman film presents a different style of Joker, through actors like Heath Ledger or Joaquin Phoenix . The Joker can be played light or heavy, scary or fun or a combination of all four and Joaquin Phoenix fits the bill precisely. With Todd Phillips history of directing The Hangover and Road Trip you would expect Joker to be a comedy film, but it is the complete opposite. It is instead a grim, dark, gut-wrenching and disturbing account of a deeply unstable man. When Arthur Fleck is fired from working as a clown he tries to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. Robert De Niro's character, Murray Franklin, a late-night show host brings Fleck onto his

Bill & Ted Face the Music

Bill & Ted Face the Music is the third film in the Bill and Ted trilogy and it once again features Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter . The film starts out with showcasing Bill and Ted's daughters Billie and Thea who we thought were sons at the end of the second film, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey . The two families are then approached by the daughter of Rufus, Bill and Ted's time traveling friend from the future. Rufus's daughter, Kelly informs them that Bill and Ted are once again asked to save all of time and space by writing a song that will unite Humanity. This is a near-impossible task as they only have less than 24 hours to create a band, write the lyrics and perform the song, but thankfully Bill and Ted have access to a time-traveling phone to find a future where they have written the humanity saving song. While Bill and Ted are time-traveling, their daughters also traveling through time to gather historical musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Wolfgang Amadeus a

A Brimful of Asha Guest review by Michelle B.

I streamed The Citadel Theatres performance of ‘A Brimful of Asha’ , a Mothers Day gift to myself recently. In this play written by Ravi and Asha Jain, a funny and true story of son Ravi and mother Asha is told from each of their own perspectives. This tale includes family expectations, disagreements, dreams and wishes, traditions, arranged marriages, and especially mother-son relationships. This ‘two-hander’, is very well performed by Adolyn H Dar and Nimet Kanji instead of the usual real Ravi and Asha. The set was simple and appropriate and I really liked the use of the occasional video pictures on the back screen. There were a couple of times during the stream that the camera was a bit shaky and the audio was a bit off, especially when the characters were yelling/raising their voices. As a wife and mother of a son, I could relate to most of the issues explored in the play except the arranged marriage (I don’t think that my son would appreciate that!). I was very happy
