Netflix put out a new animated movie just in time for the Christmas season entitled Angela’s Christmas. This movie isn’t anything groundbreaking, but since it’s only 30 minutes long and you’re probably sick of watching Elf or Home Alone for the fiftieth time,…

Now that we’ve emerged from our respective Thanksgiving food comas, and braved Black Friday, our brains shift over to the winter setting. As the Holiday season looms overhead, we are inundated with feel-good movies of…
