So the new live action Aladdin was released yesterday… and I kind of nervously and grudgingly went to see it. The internet freakout (a little deserved) over Will Smith’s genie and a very bad Prince Ali clip that Disney put … Continue reading
I checked the new dog movie A Dog’s Journey. This is the sequel to A Dog’s Purpose from a couple years ago. That was the one about the dog who continuously dies and resurrects as a new breed as he … Continue reading
