"Santa! We've got a situation!" Disney has revealed an official trailer for The Naughty Nine, a Christmas comedy streaming in November in time for the holidays. "Get ready for the heist! This year they're coming to Santa's town!" When Andy finds out he's on Santa's "naughty list" waking up on Christmas morning, he pulls together a group of "naughty list" kids to get the presents they think they deserve. They decide to head up to the North Pole to pull off a heist of some kind, putting together a team like Ocean's Eleven. Sounds like they're doing even naughtier things to get off the naughty list? Or is it just some accounting error that put them on there to begin with? The main cast features Winslow Fegley, Camila Rodriguez, Madilyn Kellam, Anthony Joo, Imogen Cohen, Deric McCabe, Ayden Elijah, and Leonidas Castrounis, with Danny Glover as Santa Claus. Yeah this...

This Home Before Dark review contains no spoilers.
Kids have been solving crimes in movies, books and TV shows for a long time, from Nancy Drew, Harriet The Spy and The Secret Seven to Lindsay Lohan vehicle Get A Clue. The major difference with Apple TV+’s 10-part new crime drama series Home Before Dark, is that our 9-year-old roving reporter, Hilde Lisko, who gets embroiled in solving a kidnapping and murder case, is based on an actual 9-year-old – Hilde Lysiak – who really did report on crime at such a young age.
What results is a slightly uncomfortable genre mix of kid-centric wish fulfillment and crime drama about a child-killer, complete with the dark color palette of a grown up murder series. Jon M. Chu who made the excellent Crazy Rich Asians directs the opening episode setting the tone somewhere between Press Gang and All The President’s Men (which young...

Apple TV+ blends fiction with truth in its upcoming Jon M. Chu-produced drama series “Home Before Dark,” based on the true story of young investigative journalist Hilde Lysiak.
Her story is known — the now 13-year-old started a local paper called the Orange Street News in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania when she was just nine years old. She found viral fame when she broke an exclusive report on a murder that happened down the street from her home and scooped the other local paper by several hours, going onto becoming the youngest member of the Society for Professional Journalists and win Junior Zenger Award for Press Freedom in 2019.
But Apple TV+, which made its first appearance at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour on Sunday, found a fresh angle to tell Lysiak’s story in a few key ways — by mining the emotional details of her relationship with her father, weaving in some strategic fictional elements,...

Much has been made of the budget allotted to the big screen adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel A Wrinkle in Time and how Director Ava DuVernay was a woman tackling something so massive. That’s a lot of press and pressure on a risky venture considering the novel may be beloved but not in the public consciousness. Thankfully, there have been other hits and misses to take attention away from the fact that this entertaining effectively flopped.
The movie, out today on Blu-ray from Walt Disney Home Entertainment, is a solid if flawed adaptation, that somehow missed the magical touch to enthrall younger viewers. As a result, the film is hovering near the $100 million domestic gross with prognosticators estimating it will lose the studio at least that much.

A Wrinkle in Time is Ava DuVernay’s high-profile theatrical follow-up to the critical and commercial success of her debut film Selma. She followed up that success in 2016 after being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary feature for her Netflix film 13th. She became the first female African-American filmmaker to direct a live-action movie with a budget over $100 million. Let’s just say the pressure was high.
Wrinkle is set up with a interesting premise for a sci-fi movie – husband and wife scientist-team studying Astrophysics believe they discovered a way to travel the universe and essentially the meaning of life. The husband Dr. Murry, disappears, and is missed by his family. Three kids Meg, her brother Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin who after being visited by astral travelers Mrs. Which(Oprah Winfrey), Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) – must travel across the universe to rescue to save their father Dr.

Adapted from Madeleine L’Engle’s science fantasy novel of the same name, Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle In Time offers a commendably brave, heartening and visually captivating retelling of a much loved modern classic which has kept generations of young girls and boys hooked since its release in 1962.
Staring newcomer Storm Reid in the principle role of Meg, a bright teenage girl in search of her missing scientist father, the film does a passable job in presenting a brand new interpretation of L’Engle’s beautifully complex novel, but is slightly let down by its inability to come up with anything new or revolutionary, bar a few brilliant performances from its young cast.
Meg Murry (Storm Reid) is a typical teenager trying to make her way in the world whilst struggling to fit in at her school. As the daughter of two of the brightest minds in the science...

At last year’s Ves Summit, indie-minded filmmaker Ava DuVernay (“Selma”) described how, as a black woman from Compton, she learned to overcome her fear of VFX and incorporate it into her storytelling arsenal for “A Wrinkle in Time.” This was crucial as the first woman of color to tackle a $100-million studio tentpole: “I pride myself as the queen of the scene in a room…I know how to make the past and the present,” said DuVernay. “I don’t know how to make the future — until now.”
But when Industrial Light & Magic’s Rich McBride (the Oscar-nominated supervisor for “The Revenant”) broke the process down into layers, the experience became a transformation. “There are pieces of the puzzle that I didn’t need to see or comment on,” added DuVernay. “I’ve been able to learn and speak to [visual effects] in a robust manner. You can create as an artist with these tools.

Madeleine L’Engle’s novel, which Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time is based upon, came out in 1962, well over fifty years ago. When Disney announced that they would be bringing this story to life once again (they produced a TV movie in 2003, which L’Engle detested), the studio’s reputation along with the quantum leaps the industry has made in visual effects since even the early 2000s made it seem possible that L’Engle’s intricate and inventive words could actually coincide with a big screen production.
To DuVernay’s credit, A Wrinkle in Time is flooded with images of imaginative prowess. However, the majesty of these creations distract viewers from more than they enhance the cosmological adventure. And though its source material presented certain kinds of complicated theories and themes, Wrinkle fails in re-offering those complex thoughts in the comprehensible and entertaining light the children’s book did fifty years ago.

“A Wrinkle in Time” is a visual spectacle of a children’s movie, painting a huge universe with multiple planets, strange characters and twisting sci-fi rules. Adapting the beloved novel by Madeleine L’Engle, “A Wrinkle in Time” merges science fiction and what feels like magic into pretty wide-reaching tale. At the center are three kids — Meg (Storm Reid), Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) and Calvin (Levi Miller) — who find themselves meeting extra-dimensional beings who enlist them in a quest across the universe. That’s the sort of story that sounds like it might lend itself to a big-budget franchise, and with Disney turning...

Less than a dozen weeks into the movie year of 2018, and a couple of flicks squarely aimed at the tots have scored some big box office bucks and surprisingly strong critical praise (that lil’ Paddington Bear, in his second feature adventure, is still at a whopping 100 percent at Rotten Tomatoes). So, the folks at the “mouse house” are eager to jump into the arena, though the smash Black Panther is from their Marvel Studios branch. Now, this new flick is from their Disney Pictures banner, not Pixar (recent Oscar winner Coco), or Disney Studios Animation (like the previous year’s winner Zootopia), or even Disney Nature with its “real life” animal extravaganzas. Now many of the Disney Pictures stamped films have been set in the world of sports like McFarland USA (track and field) or Queen Of Katwe (chess) or have been big live-action versions of the classic animated features...

With an authentic sense of wonder for the human spirit in its blood stream, A Wrinkle in Time adapts Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved classic with the air of intense responsibility. Directed by Ava DuVernay, this interdimensional tale of adolescent self-affirmation casts its holistic intentions on a massive canvas that remains deeply personal. It’s a CGI space hug resolute in empowering the viewers that find themselves diminished by their environment and maybe even Wrinkle’s cinematic contemporaries.
Newcomer Storm Reid plays Meg, a solemn preteen mourning the disappearance of her astrophysicist father (played by Chris Pine) and coping with the cruelty of pretty-girl bullies. Her despair and the naivete of her younger brother Charles Wallace (an adorable and teensy Deric McCabe) summons three otherworldly mystic Mrs.: Reese Witherspoon as the shady and effervescent Mrs. Whatsit, Mindy Kaling as the quote-happy Mrs. Who, and Oprah Winfrey as the all-knowing Mrs.

Chicago – Although I am an admirer of Oprah Winfrey, it’s unfortunate that the best way to describe “A Wrinkle in Time” – with her role as goddess problem solver – is Worst. Episode. of. Oprah. Ever. The film, based on a novel from 1962, caves into effects over cohesiveness or story.
Rating: 2.0/5.0
Director Ava DuVernay, with only her second major narrative film, may have bit off way more than she could chew, with a complex web of settings, CGI effects and bizarre uses of it all. The story was secondary and barely there, made worse by the silliness of the characters and the actors portraying them. The main setting is an alternate universe, and the souls that populate it were all misplaced and miscast. Oprah joins two other goddesses, played by Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling (“The Office”). All three didn’t work for separate reasons… Oprah’s persona was too close...

It’s positively refreshing to see a director get a chance to work their way up to a blockbuster. Too often these days, one indie hit gets a hotshot filmmaker (let’s face it, always a white dude) the next franchise to helm. It’s rare that this sort of work is a reward for someone who has earned the chance to take their talents to a new level. Even rarer is when it’s someone who’s not the aforementioned white dude. For Ava DuVernay, a string of important critical and cultural success stories has allowed her to become the first woman of color to receive a budget of $100 million for her work. Teaming with Disney to tackle a once thought to be unfilmable novel, she’s brining A Wrinkle in Time to screens. Opening this week, it’s another example of the early section of the year no longer being a dumping ground.

At a time when Disney would rather fund suffocatingly faithful (and/or toxically garish) “live-action” remakes of classic films than roll the dice on original stories for a new generation of kids, there’s something refreshing — and downright beautiful — about what Ava DuVernay has done with “A Wrinkle in Time.” Less satisfying than the recent “Pete’s Dragon,” but told with a similar degree of revisionist zeal, this eye-popping adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved 1962 novel scrubs away the Christian overtones of the source material in favor of some distinctly 21st century humanism.

Selma director stumbles with a messy adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s much-loved adventure starring Oprah Winfrey
Quantum physics crumples in Ava DuVernay’s rainbow bright adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, allowing preteen science geek Meg (Storm Reid), her crush (Calvin) and her five-year-old genius brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) to blerp from earth to the screensaver fantasy-lands at the end of the galaxy in search of her missing father (Chris Pine). Everything else is shiny and smooth, including the ancient faces of the three witch-angels who guide the kiddies’ adventure. Mrs Whatsit, the youngest of the trio at two-billion-years-plus, has gotten made-over since L’Engle catalogued her thin gray bun and “mouth puckered like an autumn apple”. Now she looks like Reese Witherspoon – wait, she is Reese Witherspoon – though it can he hard to tell under her hip-length red locks and pleated ballgown fashioned from pilfered sheets.

"It was a dark and stormy night." That's the first sentence of Madeline L'Engle's 1962 fantasy novel A Wrinkle in Time, a smoke-screen opening salvo that doesn't begin to prep readers for what lies ahead in this beloved kids' book: tesseracts and shape-shifting biddies, shadowy forces and M.I.A. fathers, interdimensional travel and preternaturally genius preteens and the revolutionary notion that a young woman can save the world. From such simple, mundane beginnings spring the skeleton keys that unlock imaginations, and if you can say nothing else about Ava DuVernay's adaptation...

When Ava DuVernay’s “A Wrinkle in Time” hits theaters later this week, the multi-million dollar Disney feature will put a contemporary face on the beloved Madeleine L’Engle’s novel that spawned a sprawling series of books in the author’s so-called Time Quintet. Populated by a large cast of diverse talents, including young star Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling, it’s a film that pays homage to the source material while also placing it squarely inside a forward-moving cultural space.
While the last (and only) other on-screen adaptation of the 1962 novel cast young protagonist Meg Murry as a white tween, it was essential to DuVernay that her film reflect a modern and diverse world. Her Murry clan includes Reid as daughter Meg, along with Chris Pine as patriarch Alex, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as mom Kate, and young Deric McCabe as baby brother Charles Wallace (in this incarnation,...

Ava DuVernay and Ryan Coogler first met as indie directors at Sundance in 2013, yet their conversation at Vulture Festival at the Hollywood Roosevelt November 19 wasn’t exactly a long-overdue reunion. “Yesterday you were in our suite, looking at fruit wraps?” DuVernay asked.
They are respectively editing “A Wrinkle in Time” and “Black Panther” on the Disney lot (“behind doors two steps away from each other,” according to DuVernay). The expected blockbusters — each budgeted in excess of $100 million — hit theaters three weeks apart in early 2018.
