Finding Dory (2016 Animated Film)

Twilight The Movie
Quote: “Saying Twilight is good because it’s popular would be like saying Herpes is good because a lot of people have it.”

Edward seemed …

The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
