Are you holding onto any fond memories of movies that you simply can’t bring yourself to watch again, for fear of being disappointed? Brian Hoss My recollections are fuzzy, but I think we had a taped...

Looking at them with adult hindsight, it’s unfortunate how many of the movies we loved as kids turn out to be, frankly, not very good.

As much as I doubted such a thing was possible, the second wave unfortunately looks even worse. This kills me, because I would really love to have quality...
