For some, the prospect of former Pixar director Brenda Chapman (“Brave”) making her live-action debut will make “Come Away” seem exciting. For others, it’s the film’s literary conceit that appeals: What if Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan had been siblings? And then there’s the casting of Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo as the parents, which suggests certain possibilities in terms of how the story might deal with certain seldom-examined social dynamics within its period setting — possibilities that internet trolls have targeted with racist comments.
Alas, “Come Away” squanders all of these opportunities on a ponderous family drama that even Netflix (where concept is everything and quality is often beside the point) wasn’t interested in acquiring when it premiered at Sundance back in January. At the festival, the film was overshadowed by “Wendy,” but even in the straight-to-streaming doldrums of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s hard...

Neon will bring some passionate romance in Ammonite this weekend. The period pic starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan opened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September where it immediately garnered buzz as an Oscar favorite.
Written and directed by Francis Lee, Ammonite is set in the 1840s and follows once-acclaimed paleontologist Mary Anning (Winslet), who works alone on the Southern English coastline of Lyme Regis. With the days of her fame behind her, she’s stern and doesn’t exactly like the company of others. She spends her time digging up common fossils to sell to rich tourists to support herself and her ailing widowed mother (Gemma Jones).
Enter geologist James McArdle (Roderick Murchison) who arrives in Lyme with his wife Charlotte (Ronan). He asks Mary to keep his wife company who is recuperating from a personal tragedy. The two are from totally different worlds Mary struggles while...

Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland form the basis of Brenda Chapman’s fantastical children’s film Come Away. I say “children’s,” not “family,” because it’s unlikely anyone older than 12 will find much magic in this supremely surface-level story. It’s strange then that Chapman and scribe Marissa Kate Goodhill spend so much time lingering on the dark world of adults: gambling, debt collection, alcoholism, even child death. It’s unlikely kids will understand these issues, though they aren’t treated with enough complexity to engage adults. I’m struggling to work out for whom Come Away appeals.
Its premise—what if Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland were brother and sister?—is a bit contrived but leaves room for plenty of visual wonder, being that both stories concern imagination. Chapman (making her live-action debut after The Prince of Egypt and Brave) visualizes the imagination of her child protagonists,...

Aladdin is directed by Guy Ritchie and is the 2019 live-action remake of the same 1992 Disney property of the same name, directed by duo Ron Clements and John Musker.

So, let me begin by saying that personally I’m not much of a fan of Guy Ritchie. He isn’t a film maker I strive to watch, and I haven’t enjoyed much of what I have seen of his output, so I was concerned and a little skeptical when I first heard that Ritchie would be directing the live-action remake of Aladdin.
Aladdin, oh how I love the original animated classic. I remember going to the cinema back in 1992, a nine year-old kid with a Genie toy on his lap, and watching this magnificent, magical, beautiful film unfold on the screen. I loved it. I still do, and I go back to it every year.

Alesha Dixon reportedly asked David Walliams to help her axe child acts from Britain's Got Talent.
The former Strictly Come Dancing judge struggled to tell young acts they had not made the live shows, according to The Sun.
Dixon allegedly found the task "too upsetting", including giving the bad news to 5-year-old dancer Jordan Nash.
An insider said: "She finds it really upsetting, and she refused to do it this year. So David had to step in and break the news to her share of contestants. It wasn't really fair, because it is the hardest part of the entire audition process.
"It can be hard to let adults down, let alone children. Because kids take the rejection much harder it can be heartbreaking to see. Alesha definitely had an easy ride compared to the other judges."
Dixon was seen giving only one rejection on Sunday's programme, to a group of adult hopefuls.
