(Nathan M Rose) 11/10/2014 9:59 PM EST I don't like Melissa McCarthy. I personally never found her funny. Her latest attempt at humor, Tammy, did not change my mind at all. In fact it only solidified the idea that I will go out of my way not to watch her films. Picture if you will a remake of Thelma and Louise, without Gina Davis, dumb downed to the lowest level of jokes possible l... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/4/2014 9:05 AM EST How far can Disney stretch an animated franchise? Pretty far, it seems. As with most of their cartoon features, there is usually a sequel to a successful movie. First there was Planes and now Planes: Fire and Rescue.
