I can’t help but feel a little bit like a broken record any time I review a new romantic comedy. I don’t think that’s being lazy or anything; it’s just the nature of the genre. Unless a movie comes along and truly breaks the mold, or is unusually bad, romantic comedies tend to share several […]

FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE Review – The Magic Is Almost Back
