*Spoilers after the ads* Fun Filler Material for the Harry Potter World Summary: Fantastic Beasts introduced us to Eddie Redmayne’s character, Newt Scamander, and a whole host of oddball characters and creatures.

Summary: Eventful, quite violent prequel to The Crimson Claymore. Arria loves her mother so much she’s willing to use dark magic in a desperate attempt to save her. Additional Comments: – Content Warnings: Fantasy violence, quite a bit of it. Decapitations, torture, rape, imprisonment, blood sacrifices, if it’s violent and dark it’s probably at…
*Spoiler Free Classic Story, New Wrapping, New Voice Summary: This time, Benedict Cumberbatch gets to voice the classic grump. Pretty sure Max is new, as is Fred (the corpulent reindeer).

It’s not so much what he’s claiming, but the fact that he’s going against the Stones, which is where the village keeps all its rules and laws. Setup: Essentially, this village of…
Summary: Slow start and stellar finish with some interesting moral questions thrown in. As much as possible, I go into movies without expectations. I was totally prepared to be underwhelmed here, yet I received a pleasant surprise. Migo (Channing Tatum; a yeti) starts to question when a chance encounter with a smallfoot (a human). …
Spoilers, definitely spoilers Summary: If you’re not a fan of the game it probably doesn’t make much sense. Following the characters is a tad hard because you can’t readily tell who is who from the start. I still can’t tell you the name of the baby mage. There’s a heck of a lot of…
