(02/22/20 4:01pm)

To many, “The Call of the Wild” is just another one of those “gung-ho America” books that was required during middle school, like “Little House on the Prairie” or “Hatchet.” The true legacy of the classic novel is likely lost on many growing up today, so it makes sense to change it some to fit the expectations of modern-day audiences.

The Reel Life: "Farmageddon: A Shaun the Sheep Movie"
(02/15/20 12:36am)

While this sequel to the 2015 almost-silent film hit is still funny, it lacks in one particular area the previous film excelled.

Sonic has had quite a few ups, downs, and loop-de-loops over the past 29 years, and the official first design of his film version definitely ranks up there with the biggest missteps of the franchise.
