Shazam! is a winner because of its laugh-out-loud humor and the chemistry and character kneaded into what could have been a very cheesy and dull adventure movie if handled with less clarity and levity.

MOVIE BUFF-ET: ‘Dumbo’ remake looks great, lacks emotional zing
While the film is bland from my point of view, the kids I was surrounded by in the theater did seem to enjoy it.

Diamond Hogs return home for big series with Ole Miss
The Razorbacks deserve their top-10 ranking at the moment, but now in the meat of SEC play, it’s going to be difficult to hold on to.

Time will tell about Yurachek’s decision to fire Anderson

Fans’ attention divided tonight between Diamond and Hardwood Hogs
With Razorback baseball at its apex in popularity today, and Hog basketball being more frustrating than fun, the call isn’t absolutely weighted toward the hardwood anymore.

MOVIE BUFF-ET: ‘Captain Marvel’ offers mystery, action, answers for Marvel fans

Board should OK honor for Richardson, move on
This really isn’t the type of hot potato the board needs to debate. Just pass it and move on. Those with hurt feelings will get over it.
