This Month’s Highlights
National Treasure
Believe it or not, young people, Nicolas Cage was once one of the biggest action stars in the world. And this is one of his biggest hits, a family adventure film about a historian looking for a treasure trove hidden by the founders of this country. Case does the Indiana Jones thing well enough that this produced a huge sequel and is being rebooted soon by Disney. —Brian Tallerico
Onward
Desperate parents everywhere: Disney has heard your cries. If your household won’t survive another Frozen viewing/sing-along, how about Onward? Onward, the latest one-word animated feature from Pixar, is now available online as cinemas across the globe have shut down due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Onward follows Avengers buddies Chris Pratt and Tom Holland as brothers (and elves) on a mission to bring their dad back to life … after reincarnating only his bottom half. Yes, the main protagonists of this movie are elf Chris Pratt, elf Tom Holland, and their pants dad, but at least they don’t sing “Let It Go.” —Zoe Haylock
