Indie Movie Review – Happy Face
Happy Face is an awesome film. I just had to get that off my chest right from the get go. It’s not a laugh a minute rib tickler, it’s not an edge of the seat thriller, and it’s not a mind bending thought provoker. It’s a drama about the lives of a group of people…

Movie Review – Soul (Pixar and Disney get it right, again)
—
Soul is one of those films where you see a still or a short clip and you think “Aha! A children’s film; something to keep the little crotch goblins quiet for a bit.” Then you notice the Disney and Pixar names plastered all over it and, that’s it… it’s a kid’s film. But then something starts…
