What a wild disappointment. I enjoyed the original Enchanted quite a bit and this sequel, while well-cast and with some good ideas, falls flat in so many ways. The film reunites us with Giselle, former fairy tale princess (Amy Adams) … Continue reading
She Said tells the true story of how the New York Times investigated and ran an article about human garbage Harvey Weinstein. It follows the lead reporters as they try to interview woman after frightened woman about their experiences working … Continue reading

RIPD 2 is what you get when you complain about Ryan Reynolds doing the same old schtick in all his movies and then they release an unexpected and unwanted sequel to one of his most forgettable movies that really needed … Continue reading
