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’s directed by French animator Sylvain Chomet, who also made 2003’s Oscar-nominated, “The Triplets of Belleville”. It’s the story, set mostly in Scotland, of an old, traveling magician who realizes that his act is no longer popular. At one performance he meets […]
I need to make it clear, right from the start, that I do not have “Bieber Fever”. But could I (and you) develop a case after seeing the pop mega-superstar’s new movie? Well, as the title says, “Never Say Never”. The film chronicles Bieber’s life, from the time he was a “Baby, Baby, Baby” – […]
