When people start their families, they dream about what kind of person their child will be - successful, happy, kind, etc. But what if the child you have always been dreaming of becomes an evil nightmare?

Glass

(Maureen Buccellato) 4/15/2019 9:53 PM EDT
Back in 2000, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was released to pretty decent reviews. I remember sitting in the theatre and not understanding where this film was headed AT ALL. In fact, I was pretty sure I didn't like the film. Then, when the film's twist ending came into play - I was singing another tune. This film had now become AMAZI... Read More

Batman: The Animated Series

(Maureen Buccellato) 11/6/2018 9:30 AM EDT
Over the years, we have seen so many iterations of Batman. From the original comics to a campy 1960s TV show and then to the big screen with a whimsical take on the character in the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton to a more dramatic take with the newer films starring Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. However, in 1992, we also saw a new animated ser... Read More
