Have you ever wanted to see what Will Smith would be like in pigeon form? Lucky for you, Spies in Disguise has exactly that. Will Smith plays a smooth and suave super spy that spends his days saving the world. Tom Holland stars along side of him playing Walter, a not so smooth and suave scientist who is extremely smart, but a whole lot of awkward.
When a mishap happens and Will Smith’s character is transformed into a pigeon, the two must team up together to save the world from impending doom. This movie will definitely bring a lot of laughs, and is a great movie the whole family can enjoy.
Everyone will be enjoying their holiday breaks if they go see this movie. Tom Holland and Will Smith are great actors who bring a lot to the table, even in an animated film. Spies in Disguise is due to hit theaters December 25th.
Little Women is the film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel Little Women. Although this is the 8th film adaptation of the novel, this one will be like no other. The story follows four sisters, Jo, Amy, Beth, and Meg as they grow through changing times in the aftermath of the American Civil War.
This adaptation stars Saoirse Ronan as Josephine “Jo” March, Emma Watson as Margaret “Meg” March, Florence Pugh as Amy March, and Eliza Scanlen as Elizabeth “Beth” March. Other cast members include Laura Dern, Meryl Streep, and Timothee Chalamet.
Fans are so excited to see all of their favorite stars come together to tell the story of the beloved novel. It would be no surprise if this movie gets nominated for many awards come next award show season. Not only is the cast packed full, but the director Greta Gerwig is no stranger to creating amazing films. Just recently her film Lady Bird stole the hearts of movie fans, and people are still talking about it to this day. Everyone is expecting the reaction to Little Women to be just the same, if not more.
Little Women comes into theaters on December 25th.
The Robin Williams classic Jumanji was revamped when the spin-off Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was released in 2017. The star-studded cast featuring Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Nick Jonas, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is back for the second installment of the spin-off series.
This movie will remind fans of the first spin-off, but this one has even more twists and turns than expected. The plot summary basically describes Spencer’s (Alex Wolff) return to the game, but this time his grandfather enters with him. His grandfather is played by none other than Danny DeVito, and he takes the form of the Rock in the game.
The trailer shows two full minutes of the Rock acting as if he were Danny DeVito and it is absolutely hilarious. This movie is definitely one to go see with a bunch of friends. I have a feeling everyone will be laughing even after the credits roll. Plus, it’s a great way to feel nostalgic if you love the original Jumanji.
Jumanji: The Next Level hits theaters December 13th.
