Maleficent – Film Review
At the beginning of the new Disney spectacle Maleficent, a calm sounding female voice-over narrates: “Let us tell an old story anew.” What follows may not be what you’re expecting.

Blended – Film Review
Here’s the funny thing about Adam Sandler; when he was a featured player on TV’s SNL he often looked embarrassed or simply uncomfortable. The funny voices either amused or annoyed, and he never appeared adept at ad-libbing without looking down and smiling as though he was about to break into giggles. Out of all the […]
