The ocean chose wrong on this unnecessary remake. Important distinction: the 2016 Disney animated musical “Moana” was a delightful movie made with some “Little Mermaid” spirits by John Musker and Ron Clements. […]
Moana (2026)
Enola Holmes 3
Sherlock Holmes’ little sister still has some spunk in her. The first two “Enola Holmes” were charming and delightful additions to the whodunit genre, and they were both based off of Nancy […]
Young Washington
A small cherry tree that should have grown a little taller. “Young Washington” tells the story of George Washington in his youth before his part in the American Revolution and before he […]

The Death of Robin Hood
Hugh Jackman ages well as the title so-called hero who isn’t even close to merry. We all know the story of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men robbing from the […]
