SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 Review – It’s All Just So Easy & Uncomplicated
You know, that recent movie RRR totally spoiled me. Now every American studio movie pales in comparison.

RRR Review – The Tiger Roars. The Man Roars Back.
When a movie picks you up out of your theatre seat and deposits you back hours later enthralled, giddy and lightweight as if you have had an out of body experience, you know the movie did something right.

When There’s Nothing to Reinvent, It’s CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN to Remake
Disney’s remake of CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN is almost impossible to watch because it’s rather uninspired and simply copies key moments of the 2003 film instead of offering a different story. This product has the feel of Disney wanting to scrub the Fox name off many properties that they are now managing. With no other reason […]
