    by Adina Bernstein March 12, 2022

    As an adult, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind. Work, marriage, kids, etc., can eat up our day before we know it’s gone. Sometimes we need a proverbial kick in the…

    ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ Wasn’t That Bad (Or Good)

    by Kali Tuttle July 13, 2020
    by Kali Tuttle July 13, 2020

    Like Prince of Persia (2010), I had completely forgotten that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) existed. (Apparently, 2010 was the year for forgettable live-action Disney films.) The only thing I remembered about the film was when David (Jay Baruchel) was…

    Does anyone actually remember Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) or was that just a weird fever dream I had? Has it really been ten years since it came out? Seriously, does anyone…

    Harry Potter Should Have Died in ‘The Sorcerer’s Stone’

    by Kali Tuttle January 12, 2020
