Slice But No Dice For Alita: Battle Angel

Rosa Salazar as Alita 
For years, James Cameron had wanted to make a movie based on Yukito Kishiro's manga series about a young female cyborg. Due to reasons ranging from not having the technology at the time and being busy with Avatar and its long-delayed sequels, Robert Rodriguez stepped in as director with Cameron serving as both producer and screenwriter as life is finally given to this long-awaited project.

The Lego Movie 2:The Second Part Falls Apart but is Able to Reassemble

The Lego Movie seemed to be poised for disaster given the reputation of movies based on toy brands but leave it to writing/directing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller on proving us wrong by delivering one of the best animated movies of the decade. For The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, this would be a tough act to follow, with Lord and Miller staying as screenwriters but passing the director's mantle to Mike Mitchell. Can this sequel keep everything awesome or is it time to for these toys to be put away?
