James Franco rocks. Pun intended – but only sort of, ‘cause I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that Franco will get a best actor nomination for…
Secretariat
Secretariat is good, solid family fare from the company that knows the genre well - Disney. It’s a sweet, simple, root-for-the-underdog message movie that manages to maintain some level of…
