The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

A common theme I have been talking about in many of the Golden Age films is that the characters in some of these films are just not interesting. Whether they are in terrible stories or played by actors I didn’t find appealing, I’ve found myself wondering how so many of these films would go on … More The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

The Sting (1973)

I put the asterisk there because Scoob may always catch the bad guy; however, it is … More Scoob! (2020)

Klaus has to be one of the most beautifully animated movies I’ve ever seen. Couple those pen strokes with one of the most original … More Klaus (2019)
