Behind The Scenes: Into The Woods – From Stage To Screen!
Although Disney’s Into The Woods is doing well in theaters, it was considered to be a risky move – taking a three-hour hit Broadway musical and turning it into a two-hour movie.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Is a Solid Origin Story!
Tom Clancy never really got deeply into the story of how Jack Ryan came to be a hero, but Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit does a lovely job of filling in that background and grounding the character in today’s world.

DVD Review: Rise of the Guardians – 2012’s Best Animated Feature Comes to Home Video!
Rise of the Guardians was the best animated feature of 2012 – no matter what the Academy might have thought. It’s smart enough for older kids-at-heart and filled with lots of action and cool stuff to engage younger viewers.
