Well, I finally made it to the theatre to see Frozen, Disney’s musical and very loose retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen. In fact, the only similarities are there is a Queen who enjoys a chill, a girl who ventures to the frozen castle and a smattering of trolls. Just in case you…

On December 5, 2012, Laemmle Monica 4-Plex rolled out the red carpet for the premiere of director Derek Magyar’s Flying Lessons.
