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…

The Case of the Nanny-Nappers

Review: Iron Man 3

One of the benefits to living in such a cool neighborhood is my proximity to “art houses” which regularly feature independent films.

Review: Django Unchained
So I’m a little late to the game, but better late than never! I will preface by saying that I am, without a doubt, a fan of director Quentin Tarantino (jury is still out on Quentin Tarantino, the actor). For those who are also present in Tarantino’s world of fandom, Django promises to be a…

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