Kazaam is much like a cheese — it had the potential to age well, but someone kept it in their prewar apartment cupboard at a constant temperature of 80 degrees and now it just reeks.…

It is one of the most satisfying feelings when you are watching a film and it dawns on you that you’re watching something great. For a specific type of viewer, David Lowery’s latest film The…

Have you heard the story of the Rouletista? I promise you don’t know what you’re getting into when you hit play on Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself. It’s impossible, really, and that’s okay. It’s…

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…

It’s easy to dismiss Sleeping Beauty as your average princess-centered Disney film. Its plot bears many surface similarities to Snow White, mainly the slumbering royalty awoken by a kiss. What saves Sleeping Beauty from being…

Take the nostalgia goggles off and the original Mary Poppins still holds up as a perfect musical. Its music and characters are nothing short of iconic. The idea of making a sequel five decades later…

Warner Bros. continues to tap J.K Rowling’s imagination for more stories within her Wizarding World, expanding the universe beyond just Harry Potter and his stories. Potterheads will always hope for more from this world, so if…
