“Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” is one of the funniest and most gleefully absurd comedies I’ve seen in a long time. It is an instant comedy classic.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Disney’s “The Rocketeer,” one of the many comic book movies to try to capitalize on the tremendous success of Tim Burton’s “Batman.”

Now that Disney+ has resurrected “The Mighty Ducks” franchise with the new series “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” (the second episode of which debuts Friday, with new episodes every Friday through May 28), it seems like a good time to revisit the original film trilogy.

It feels like any time Eddie Murphy earns some career goodwill, he immediately squanders it.

"Coming 2 America," the confusingly titled sequel to the 1988 Eddie Murphy comedy "Coming to America," becomes the latest follow-up to come out decades after its predecessor.

Disney Studios' latest animated feature “Raya and the Last Dragon” is following in the long tradition of Disney princesses, but continues the trend of moving the princess into the role of hero rather than a love-lorn damsel to be rescued.
