The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …

Beauty and The Beast
The “Beauty and The Beast” I am reviewing is the TV series that ran in 1987-1990, not the Disney animation. Those who have watched the series know that it has nothing to do with the classic fairytale: the story is set in modern day New York. Catherine, a beautiful …
