The horror world is inundated with stories about demons and exorcisms and most of these films are not typically very scary. However, throw a clever sci-fi angle into the mix and you have me intrigued (some people just know that good sci-fi is my Achilles’ heel). Incarnate is a new film trying to do this and stars Aaron Eckhart as an …
Animation rules this week, with the perfect Disney movie, the Oscar nominated stop-motion film, and the wooden puppets Aaron Eckhart and Gerard Butler. Zootropolis The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other.
