Kandahar gives us a familiar story that has us wondering what’s going to happen next to our two protagonists. The movie does not take long to get going and shows us why Gerard Butler is an action star in his own right. The premise of the story is pretty simple. Gerard Butler plays Tom Harris,…

Most of us have seen the animated version of Peter Pan when we were growing up. I remember not seeing it in the theaters but watching it at home with my daughter. We laughed, we cheered, and we watched it over and over again until she became tired of watching it. My daughter loved Captain…

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Comes Home

We reviewed Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania earlier this year and we were excited for the home release.
