(Jennifer Broderick) 1/5/2017 5:06 PM EDT The purpose of a movie is to tell a story and to entertain the audience.

(Javier Conte) 12/21/2016 3:29 PM EDT When I first saw the trailer for Illumination's Sing, it reminded me of a little movie released back in 1997 called Cats Don't Dance. It told the story of an optimistic cat who leaves his home to pursue a career in Hollywood. It was a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood musicals, while at the same time providing social commentary on discriminati... Read More |

Kennedy was assassinated right in front of his w... Read More |

Stars like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers were household names and their dancing and singing abilities were well known.
