A nice little holiday with our favorite British bear. A lot has changed for the Brown family. The bear Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) finally has his passport which makes him a […]
Paddington in Peru
Dog Man
A doggone good time. Not to be confused with Luc Besson’s “DogMan.” So you better be specific when you ask someone if they saw “Dog Man” or “DogMan.” “Dog Man” is based […]
Mufasa: The Lion King

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

The Wild Robot
One of the best animated films of the decade. There has been a lot of talk about animation being taken over by AI, which is also threatening to take over other things. […]
