Review by Tracee Bond Anastasia and Christian get married, but Jack Hyde continues to threaten their relationship. One and a half hours into this film and I’m still trying to figure out exactly when, where, and how the heck Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) became a...
Greetings again from the darkness. Stop-motion animation is always fascinating to me, and when it’s done very well, it can be downright mesmerizing. And that’s what we have here thanks to the Director Mark C Smith. Two lemurs are navigating their dirigibles across the...

Greetings again from the darkness. The sequel to the hit 2014 PADDINGTON movie reunites most of the cast, as well as the director Paul King and his co-writer Simon Farnaby. Unfortunately, Michael Bond, Paddington Bear’s creator and author of more than 150 affiliated...
