Tangled
Disney’s Tangled is one fantastic movie. It goes right up there with some of the great Disney flicks – like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc. No hesitation on my part. The movie is a hell of a lot of … Continue reading

Skyline
Saw the film Skyline which, surprisingly, isn’t a movie about chili (Cincinnati-style chili joke – har har)… it’s a rather pedestrian alien invasion flick that thinks its A LOT better than it is. Definitely a flick done on a budget … Continue reading
