‘Bedtime Stories’ Review

By

“Bedtime Stories” was Disney’s 2008’s live-action family film for the holidays but it didn’t duplicate the success of 2007’s “Enchanted.” Adam Sandler is the hero of “Bedtime Stories”.

‘City of Ember’ Review

By

In 200 years we humans will be forced to live underground. That’s the bad news. The good news is: Bill Murray will be our Mayor. “City of Ember” is based on the popular novel about a future world in which the remaining people on Earth live in an underground city that is falling apart. The […]
