The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and The Frog is a beautifully drawn, well animated slice of the standard Disney pie with a Louisiana spin. Although I found all of the characters to be very loveable, I thought that Disney’s “playing it safe” (you know exactly what I mean) due to a bunch of jackasses who blindly let a trailer mislead them, ultimately hurt the movie...

M.Butterfly (1993)

M.Butterfly (1993)

The once lively halls of Hogwartz, lined with young children practicing their magicks and playing games with one other has been...

The Proposal

I Love You, Man

I Love You, Man

Not only is I Love You, Man a huge commercial for Lou Ferrigno and The Incredible Hulk, it is also a tribute to guys who have gone too far across the line in “being there” for their girlfriends. Guys who have no friends and find yourselves hanging with your girlfriend’s buddies, this movie was made for you! Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is a...
