 Walt Disney Pictures, 2019. Despite being crushed by critics, the newest version of Disney's "The Lion King" is anything but soulless. Let me explain.
 Disney/Pixar, 2019. The gang is back for another adventure, but is "Toy Story 4" worthy of its predecessors, or should Pixar put a fork in it?
 Universal Pictures, 2019. What's there to say about a movie like this? Kids will like it, adults probably won't. Even so, the money it's set to make for Universal will rain in like...well...cats and dogs.
 A whole new world? Hardly. The new, completely unnecessary live-action re-make of Disney's animated classic, "Aladdin" should have stayed bottled up.
 Disney, DisneyNature, 2019. The latest film from Disneynature, "Penguins" waddles into theaters just in time for Earth Day.
 Hard to believe we are almost through the dreaded "dead zone" of movie releases (Jan through March), and that we're only a few weeks away from the next Avengers movie. Yes, Spring has sprung, and with it a whole slew of new movies, led by everybody's favorite flying elephant.

Read Tom's quick reviews of these movies at the following link: http://www.axs.com/movie-reviews-a-dog-s-purpose-gold-and-resident-evil-the-final-chapter-113698  Walt Disney Studios, 2012. Rating: 4 out of 5 starsNow that the Atari and Nintendo generation are adults with kids of their own, it only seems appropriate that a film would come along like Wreck-It Ralph. It panders specifically to the 80s and 90s video-gamer but also to the modern-day gamer who wouldn’t know a Galaga from a Zaxxon if it walked up and hit them in their Asteroids. In fact, regardless of age, there is a good chance you will like Wreck-It Ralph. If you happen to have grown up during the video game boom of the 80s (like myself), you may love it.
At the same time, Wreck-It Ralph is a bit misleading. Sure, it features animated characters living in a virtual video game world. But this movie was more like a nostalgic trip into a candy store rather than an arcade. I’ll explain.  Rating: 4 out of 5 starsIf you don't know Greg Heffley, his brothers Rodrick and Manny, and his pals Rowley, Fregley, Chirag and Patty by now, then where have you been? Diary of a Wimpy Kid has become one of the most popular young adult series of all time, and this third film in the series is perhaps the most enjoyable thus far.
