Yes, it’s true. Moana 2 isn’t nearly as good as Moana, but I’d also posit they both share similar problems. Moana just gets over the hump by having a better, more coherent story and a lot better songs. Moana didn’t … Continue reading
Rolled the dice on The Fix due to a pretty interesting sounding synopsis. The air has grown toxic and millions will die without their gas masks or a novel chemical being distributed by an evil corporation. A model takes a … Continue reading
