For years, I’ve been complaining that Sony Pictures Animation doesn’t offer anything inspiring in its animation or creativity. They couldn’t make “The Angry Birds Movie” in the style of “The LEGO Movie,” […]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Aquaman

I’m not too familiar with “The Nutcracker,” but I admire some of its music. It started off as a book by E.T.A. Hoffman called “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,” and then […]
