I love going to the movies. But there is one genre that I will not touch with a ten-foot pole. I will not see horror movies, especially around Halloween. I have an active imagination that…

blink-182 is one of the most prolific punk rock bands of recent years (the 90s are recent — fight me). They emerged on the scene in the 1990s and have managed to stay relevant throughout…

I never expected Dumbo to ever appear on the roster of Disney’s live-action remakes rolling out since 2010. Like so many, I questioned this decision. The announcement that Tim Burton would be directing only added…

When it comes to classic fairy tale romance, Disney is king. But they’ve shown there’s more to love than princesses falling for princes. Some of their greatest love stories come from forgotten places, so we’re…

The lead up to the release of Incredibles 2 wasn’t easy. Because of its delays in the foreign markets due to its coincidence with the World Cup, I’ve heard a few opinions on the movie…

On the anniversary of  Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), we address a familiar question.  Which should come first, the Disney movie or the Disney Park attraction? July 9th marks 15…

Incredibles 2 has leapt the record for best animated opening of all time in a single bound. While watching the movie myself (and its predecessor the day before), I came upon a sudden revelation. The Incredibles…

You may know Holes (2003) as the simple tale of Stanley Yelnats III and his run of bad luck that puts him in Camp Green Lake. In truth, Holes covers a wide range of topics…
