Harrison Ford in THE CALL OF THE WILD on Digital now, and Arriving on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD May 12th

” Some say that’s the legend. Not so. You see, I knew him once, when he was just a dog at a men side. And even all this land is his, every summer, when he comes down to the valley, he remembers kind hands and old masters… before he went to his own… became his own master… before he heard the call. “

THE CALL OF THE WILD delighted audiences upon opening February 21, earning an 89% Verified Audience Score on RottenTomatoes®. Adapted from the novel by Jack London, it vividly brings to the screen the story of Buck, a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life is turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Canadian Yukon during the Gold Rush of the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail delivery dog sled team — and later its leader — Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime, ultimately finding his true place in the world and becoming his own master. As a live-action/animation hybrid, THE CALL OF THE WILD employs visual effects and animation technology in order to bring the animals in the film to life. THE CALL OF THE WILD is directed by Chris Sanders and stars Harrison Ford, Omar Sy, Dan Stevens, Karen Gillan, Bradley Whitford, Cara Gee, Michael Horse, Jean Louisa Kelly, Colin Woodell, Adam Fergus and Abraham Benrubi. Erwin Stoff, p.g.a. and James Mangold, p.g.a. are producing with Diana Pokorny, Ryan Stafford and screenwriter Michael Green serving as executive producers.

TROLLS WORLD TOUR – Review

TROLLS WORLD TOUR serves up a disposable abundance of flash and sparkle with a smorgasbord of dancing and music. This animated sequel (originally scheduled for theatrical release) offers enough kaleidoscopic visuals and good-hearted platitudes about tolerance and celebrating differences to earn the trust of parents who need something new to park their 5-year olds in front of during the pandemic. That said, don’t sit with them. This over-bright sugar-rush of a film is a brand-driven cash grab, the equivalent of having glitter blown in your face for an endless 95 minutes.  

When TROLLS WORLD TOUR starts off, all seems to be well in Troll Village with bouncy Queen Poppy (voiced by Anna Kendrick), and her downer wannabe boyfriend Branch (Justin Timberlake). Before long the pair discovers there are five other Troll clans, each of whom is trained in a different style of music. There’s Funk (represented by the voices of Mary J. Blige, George Clinton and Anderson Paak), Classical (violinist Gustavo Dudamel and Charlyne Yi),  Country (Kelly Clarkson, Sam Rockwell, and Flula Borg), Jazz (Jamie Dornan) and Techno (Anthony Ramos). That sort of musical diversity doesn’t sit well with Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom), a Hard Rock-loving Troll who decides no other musical forms are acceptable and attempts to do away with them. But Poppy and Branch attempt to unite the remaining groups and prove that all Trolls not being the same can be a good thing.

I missed the first TROLLS, though perhaps an animated Hip-hop musical based on weird cute/ugly dolls that were a fad many decades ago could be fun, and maybe it was. But TROLLS WORLD TOUR is almost non-stop musical numbers, mostly classic rock standards (and some new tunes), but no matter the pedigree of the artists they’ve hired, all the songs sound like earworm Kidz-Bop covers. Vast amounts of money and expertise have been poured into the film which boasts a star-studded voice cast and animation that strives to be expressive despite hideous character design. The cast does their best (though Timberlake is an awful voice actor) but they have almost nothing to do here save for fitting the requirement for singing all these pop covers. The writing is lazy in terms of developing these characters, so they emphasize their feelings through one trite song after another. There’s no heart or any kind of emotion behind the story, just so many shallow and simple ideas about happiness and acceptance. Toddlers will eat TROLLS WORLD TOUR up like candy so I’ll give this one more star than it deserves for being a decent distraction for them.

TROLLS WORLD TOUR – At home on demand April 10 on WatchTrolls.com

Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return in Trolls World Tour, an all-star sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s 2016 musical hit. In an adventure that will take them well beyond what they’ve known before, Poppy (Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake) discover that they are but one of six different Trolls tribes scattered over six different lands and devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a whole lot louder.

A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom), aided by her father King Thrash (Ozzy Osbourne), wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends — Biggie (James Corden), Chenille (Caroline Hjelt), Satin (Aino Jawo), Cooper (Ron Funches) and Guy Diamond (Kunal Nayyar) — set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all.

Cast as members of the different musical tribes is one of the largest, and most acclaimed, groups of musical talent ever assembled for an animated film. From the land of Funk are Mary J. Blige, George Clinton and Anderson .Paak. Representing Country is Kelly Clarkson as Delta Dawn, with Sam Rockwell as Hickory and Flula Borg as Dickory. J Balvin brings Reggaeton, while Ester Dean adds to the Pop tribe. Anthony Ramos brings the beat in Techno and Jamie Dornan covers smooth jazz. World-renowned conductor and violinist Gustavo Dudamel appears as Trollzart and Charlyne Yi as Pennywhistle from the land of Classical. And Kenan Thompson raps as a newborn Troll named Tiny Diamond.

Trolls World Tour is directed by Walt Dohrn, who served as co-director on Trolls, and is produced by returning producer Gina Shay. The film is co-directed by David P. Smith and co-produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella, both of whom worked on the first Trolls.

ARKANSAS starring Liam Hemsworth and Vince Vaughn Available On Apple, Amazon, On Demand Platforms, Blu-ray and DVD May 5th

In Clark Duke’s directorial debut ARKANSAS, Kyle (Liam Hemsworth) and Swin (Clark Duke) live by the orders of an Arkansas-based drug kingpin named Frog (Vince Vaughn), whom they’ve never met. Posing as junior park rangers by day, they operate as low-level drug couriers by night under the watchful eye of Frog’s proxies (John Malkovich and Vivica A. Fox). Swin then settles into his day job by taking up a relationship with Johnna (Eden Brolin) against orders to blend in while Kyle continues to question his night job by trying to figure out who Frog really is.  Their world is then upended after one too many inept decisions, and Kyle, Swin, and Johnna find themselves directly in Frog’s crosshairs, who mistakenly sees them as a threat to his empire. Based on John Brandon’s best-selling book of the same name, ARKANSAS weaves together three decades of Deep South drug trafficking to explore the cycle of violence that turns young men into criminals, and old men into legends.

ARKANSAS stars Liam Hemsworth, Clark Duke, Michael Kenneth Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Eden Brolin, Chandler Duke with John Malkovich and Vince Vaughn and is directed by Clark Duke. Check Out this trailer for ARKANSAS:
