If you’re anything like yours truly, you do not shy away from sitting yourself down to enjoy a fun, animated film – especially if that film is about pets, or animals in general. Such was my situation last weekend, when I saw “The Secret Life of Pets 2.” Hesitant to give the franchise another...
I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember the day I told my parents about my lifelong dream to own horses.  I was so young, I probably didn’t even know how to spell “horses” properly, much less understand the responsibility of what my dream entailed. However, I do remember the day that my...
I decided to do something goofy last weekend – instead of going out and seeing a film on the big screen, I opted to stay home and rent a movie from my local Redbox. It was definitely nice to be home in pajamas instead of going out and seeing a late movie after a weekend of busy work. I rented “...
In the early years before our last Monday in May became known as Memorial Day, there was a time set aside at the end of this month to recognize the losses of the Civil War. Behind both sides of that conflict rested grieving families who desperately longed for the recognition of their loved ones,...

I was really excited when I saw the trailer for “Breakthrough” early on in the year. I remember seeing it in the theatre during the previews, and having chills; arms speckled with goosebumps, to boot. I had quickly whipped out my phone and sought out the film’s presence on Instagram; determined to...
It seems like no matter how many days we tick off on the calendar, the majority of them are riddled with bad news. That was precisely my feeling when I got downwind of the news of Notre Dame.  I sat back, entirely awe-struck, at the devastation. While undergoing millions-of-dollars-worth of...
“Dumbo” has long been one of my favorite Disney films; it’s one that my family has watched many times. I’ve shed a lot of tears over Dumbo’s “Baby Mine” scene, where he cries big sad tears as he sways gently in the crook of his imprisoned mother’s trunk, and I’ve laughed a lot of laughs as the...
