Recent Movie Roundup

I’ve seen a bunch of movies recently but haven’t gotten around to writing about any of them, so I’m just going to write about the in one big post
Stardust
Probably the biggest problem that this movie has is that it takes a little while before you realize that the movie is funny. It doesn’t really [...]

Ratatouille

What’s up with Pixar? Somehow, they are able to produce the best animated films year after year. Ratatouille is no exception. Seriously, go see this movie as soon as you can.
