Blackening, The
This was my second attempt to see this flick in the theaters. The first time, my lousy theater had the bulb brightness turned down so I could barely see the black actor’s faces in the opening scene (and a movie … Continue reading

Ruby Gillman is not a movie without charm, but it borrows so many ideas from other (better) films that it becomes a bit of a predictable time-waster. Though I imagine its target market of tweens will probably enjoy it. The … Continue reading
