‘Hop’ Review

By

There have been plenty of movies made about Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Halloween. But “Hop” is one of the few movie ever made about Easter. It came-out in theaters nearly a year ago and made over $100M. Universal Studios has been holding onto it all this time, waiting for a big Easter 2012 DVD/Blu-ray release. […]
