Interview: Rachel Zegler And Ariana DeBose Talk 'West Side Story', Sisterhood & Stepping Into Their Roles

It’s been 60 years since the legendary Rita Moreno stole the show in the first film adaptation of West Side Story, and now, two new stars are paving the way for future generations — Rachel Zegler and Ariana DeBose. Zegler and DeBose shine brilliantly in the Steven Spielberg-directed remake of West Side Story as Maria and Anita, respectively. I had the pleasure of interviewing the dynamic duo about the film and their time on set.

Interview: Ray Fisher Talks 'ZSJL', Working With Karen Bryson, 'Women of the Movement' & More

Ray Fisher is known as being the heart of the League in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and for being a champion in speaking his truth, which has surely helped others to share their stories too (accountability > entertainment) and he’s coming to Toronto to meet fans at FAN EXPO Canada: Limited Edition (October 22-24). Prior to the convention, I had the pleasure of being able to have a conversation with the brilliant actor as he was gearing up to attend the convention.

The first three episodes follow the journeys of Agent Peggy Carter, T’Challa and Nick Fury as they navigate new territory that we’ve never seen before.

'Jungle Cruise' Is An Entertaining Ride Along The Amazon River - Review

So, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt meet each other in a bar alongside the Amazon River… No, this is not the beginning of some corny joke (of which Jungle Cruise has many, thanks to Johnson’s Frank firing off ‘dad’ jokes like they’re going out of style), this is quite literally a plot point in Disney’s latest adventure film, Jungle Cruise. Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt) is on a mission to find the Tears of the Moon, a tree now that grows petals capable of curing any illness or injury...

REVIEW – Marvel Comics ‘Thor & Loki: Double TRouble’ #4

What can possibly go wrong with a pair of Thors and a Loki trying to locate a mysterious orb stolen right from Odin’s vaults? Well, the answer is a bit of what you’d expect and some of what you wouldn’t. But the biggest surprise of all comes when another Loki is added to the fray, and of course, she has the orb within her grasp. Now, trying to get this other Loki to part with the orb so that Thor and Loki number one can get home? Well, that’s certainly much easier said than done.

'Black Widow' Is An Exciting Spy Thriller That Gives Natasha Romanoff Her Due - Review

If you were wondering what Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was doing after the events of Captain America: Civil War and before the snap of Avengers: Infinity War, then look no further than the next entry into the MCU, Black Widow. Black Widow follows the former Red Room-trained assassin as she navigates life after the events of Civil War. Clearly, she did not think she could zap the King of Wakanda and simply get away with it, right?

‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Better Late Than Never – Review

“They said the Age of Heroes would never come again.” Kudos to Snyder and his team for pulling off something that was indeed epic in scale and mythos, which showcases the characters, heroes and villains alike, in all of their complexities in the way Snyder wanted them to be seen. Full of heart, but not without some flaws, and better late than never, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the film audiences deserved to see in theatres almost four long years ago.

Andra Day Shines In The Uneven ‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’ - Review

Billie Holiday was more than a jazz icon. Holiday was a beacon to many, especially amongst Black Americans. The NAACP called her “the voice of our people.” In The United States vs. Billie Holiday, director Lee Daniels and screenwriter Suzan-Lori Parks attempt to approach telling the story of the famed singer through a more intimate lens, focusing on the FBN’s (Federal Bureau of Narcotics) pursuit of her, and the highs and lows of her personal life and career.
