“Bridge to Terabithia” is based on the very popular children’s book of the same name, written by Katherine Patterson. I haven’t read the book but I must say I’m disappointed by this film version. The story centers around two 10-year olds – Jess (played by Josh Hutcherson from “Zathura” and “RV”) and Leslie (who played […]

But Cinderella’s evil stepmother takes over […]

The story centers around […]
Disney waited a long time to release “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause” on DVD. Unfortunately, the movie is not worth the wait. This is the second sequel to the original 1994 Disney hit and Tim Allen is back once again as jolly ol’ St. Nick. This time Santa’s role as the King of […]
