This apocalyptic musical doesn’t hit all the right notes. “The End” is a musical directed by Joshua Oppenheimer (“The Act of Killing,” “The Look of Silence”) and set after the end of […]
The End
Moana 2
This visually stunning and fun sequel needs to go a little farther. The original Disney film “Moana” was a delightful and magical film that gave people a Polynesian princess who shares the […]
