A lot has been said about the one-of-a-kind comedian Andy Kaufman. But somehow, the new documentary about his life, "Thank You Very Much," seems to put a fresh spin on what we've come to know, while also examining the methods of his madness.

The thought of the newest Disney live-action remake  has me whistling with delight.

"Snow White" is the rare remake with purpose. In 1937, Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a ground-breaking achievement, and the first full-length animated film produced in the United States. It's safe to say that much has changed in our country over the past 88 years. If ever there was a Disney classic in need of some updating, this was it.

Director Marc Webb ("The Amazing Spider-Man," "500 Days of Summer") creates a modern version of the tale, swirling with that intangible Disney magic, that's both original and reverent of what's come before. The (mostly) all-new music is surprisingly good and dynamic (the powerhouse duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Academy Award winners who crafted songs for "La La Land," "The Greatest Showman" and "Dear Evan Hansen," were brought on to craft these new songs) and the production design, costumes and visual effects are every bit as stunning as the recent Oscar-winning film, "Wicked."

Despite some casting issues and a few missteps, I didn't just like the new "Snow White" film...I loved it.

For "Magazine Dreams," it's been nothing less than a nightmare.

A once-rising star in Hollywood, the off-screen controversies involving lead actor Jonathan Majors derailed his career and this film. Jonathan Majors was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in March 2023, leading to charges of misdemeanor assault, harassment, and aggravated harassment. Prosecutors alleged he twisted her arm, struck her head, and caused injuries. In December 2023, a jury found him guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment, but not guilty of intentional assault or aggravated harassment. The conviction was based on recklessness rather than intent. Following the verdict, Marvel Studios dropped him from his role as Kang the Conqueror, and his career faced significant setbacks.

"Magazine Dreams," in which Majors gives what might have been a career-defining performance, was the talk of the festival circuit back in 2023, just prior to these incidents. It was picked up by Searchlight Pictures, who outbid Neon, Sony Pictures and others, and it was expected to be one of their major pushes during awards season.

That all went away. "Magazine Dreams" was shelved, and the distribution rights were quietly returned to the filmmakers. The independent Briarcliff Entertainment - whose highest-grossing previous film to-date was the Liam Neeson thriller, "Blacklight," back in 2022, which grossed under 10 million domestically - has taken a chance on "Magazine Dreams." And I'm glad they did.

Controversies and all, this is a film worthy of being seen. And trying to put the personal stuff aside (if you are unable to, I don't blame you), Jonathan Majors not only gives the best performance of his career, he gives one of the best performances by ANYONE in recent years...an all-in, undeniable performance that crafts one of the most haunting on-screen characters of the past decade.

While the beloved Looney Tunes characters are familiar and respectful, these aren't exactly your parents' Looney Tunes.

"The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" is shockingly the first all-animated Looney Tunes movie ever released in movie theaters. It's also not being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures...that duty is being handled by the much smaller Ketchup Entertainment, which is why this film might feel a bit "under the radar" for most.

And while this weird, zany sci-fi story is quite harmless, it also feels a bit uninspired. It's been nearly 100 years since the release of the very first Looney Tunes animated short...and this is what we've all waited for?
