Movie Review: Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel Blasts Trolls Out of the Water

March 8, 2019 Cortland Jacoby Movie Reviews, Movies

Despite warnings from our mothers, many trolls and even critics are judging Captain Marvel by its cover. With admittingly worrisome and mediocre trailers, plus early trolling online, Captain Marvel had garnered skepticism ahead of its release on Friday. Rotten Tomatoes even changed its trolling policy ahead of the film’s opening. It’s unclear how this film will do overall at the box office and unfortunately, that matters for the future of female superhero films.

I kicked off celebrations for Women’s History Month by hearing from an inspirational and trailblazing woman: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and only the third woman to hold that title out of the 111 Supreme Court Justices in U.S. history.

In September, Justice Sotomayor published two books for young audiences, TURNING PAGES: My Life Story and THE BELOVED WORLD OF SONIA SOTOMAYOR, both also available in Spanish. The event itself was a family-friendly one, with a bulk of the audience made up of school-aged children and those of Latino heritage.
