REVIEW: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Episode 5 “Truth”

AlexGherzo | Apr 16, 2021 | 1

The condescendingly titled “Truth” (which, since no big answers to anything are revealed, can only mean “We’re about to lay some truth on you”) is the episode where The Falcon and the Winter Soldier goes all-in on identity politics and makes Captain America all about race. People who want ...

When I reviewed Madagascar a few weeks back, I was reminded of a similar movie that came out about a year later. The Wild was made by C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, a Canadian CGI animation company. C.O.R.E. provided animation for movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua and T.V. programs like Dragon Tales a...

In 1997, the only film ever created by Turner Feature Animation was released under Warner Bros. Animation. Cats Don’t Dance was a spectacular box office bomb and mostly flew under the radar at the time of its initial release. For that matter, the film is still relatively obscure, despite a star-st...
