Disclosure Day, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Emily Blunt, follows weather reporter Margaret Fairchild and AI operator Dr. Daniel Kellner, portrayed by Josh O’Connor, as they uncover secrets and plan to expose a 75-year-old UFO cover-up that extends beyond the boundaries of the United States government.

This high-energy, fast-paced sci-fi film opens with the exchange of life-changing contents hidden within a backpack. This moment sets the tone for an adventure filled with questions, revelations, and eye-opening truths.

This film had a little bit of everything. From spectacular Indiana Jones-style action sequences to thrilling X-Files-inspired moments, it kept audiences engaged from beginning to end.

The storyline focused on familiar UFO themes while making strong connections to the Ancient Astronaut Theory.

The main cast held the story together with strong performances. The visual effects were captivating, and the computer-generated imagery was clean, realistic, and authentic in its presentation.

Overall, this was a good film with a strong story, solid acting, and impressive visuals that draw you in. I am not sure whether this is intended to be a standalone film or the beginning of a larger franchise, but I hope it makes a lot of noise at the box office.

If you are a fan of, or a believer in, the Ancient Astronaut Theory, then this movie is for you.

I gave Disclosure Day a strong 4 out of 5 stars.

Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua (The Equalizer, 2014) and starring Jaafar Jackson (The Jacksons: Next Generation, 2015), is a fresh take on a familiar story.

A musical and cinematic masterpiece, Michael takes us on a journey behind the scenes, up close and personal, and center stage throughout Michael’s creative ascent.

This exciting recounting is emotional and thrilling, and it takes us all back to a time when we saw Michael growing up.

Starting with the Jackson 5’s humble beginnings in Gary, Indiana, to going solo with record-breaking success from his first album, becoming a Grammy-winning artist and theatrical performer, Michael Jackson is a great family film that shows a wide range of depth and complexity.

Visually compelling and musically engaging, this film creates an on-screen magic that only a love for Jackson can do.

The cast was superb; Jaafar’s portrayal of Michael was both realistic and authentic to the character and person he portrayed. As Michael’s real-life nephew, he did the performance justice.

I must say that Colman Domingo’s portrayal of Joe Jackson is award-worthy. His facial expressions and mannerisms were both gripping and emotional.

Each character portrayed was done well, and the casting was spot on.

The costume design stayed true to Michael’s creative aesthetic and was stunning to see on screen.

The Michael Jackson soundtrack resonated throughout the film, while the special effects enhanced its spellbinding nature.

I gave this movie 5 stars a fun, energetic, and creative cinematic experience that people of all ages will love.
